. October 14, 2008

JULY 8, 2008. Hampton Hotels (www.hampton.com), the international brand of more than 1,500 mid-priced Hampton Inn(R) and Hampton Inn & Suites(R) hotels, opened 17 properties in June 2008, representing 1,490 new rooms. The new openings include eight Hampton Inn hotels and nine Hampton Inn & Suites properties. All openings are franchised, newly constructed hotels.

"We continue to see an increased demand for our mid-market product, eclipsing last month's near record openings," said Phil Cordell, senior vice president, Hampton Hotels. "Consumers are more cost conscious this year as they begin to hit the road for summer travel and the Hampton model is proving to be an ideal option for travelers, particularly with our award-winning services and complimentary amenities offerings."

For consumers who would like to take their hotel room experience home with them, Hampton has a program available online at www.hamptonhomecollection.com, where many of Hampton Hotels' guestroom amenities are available for purchase.
