Stephen F. Bollenbach
STEPHEN F. BOLLENBACH Co-Chairman & Chief Executive Officer Hilton Hotels Corporation Stephen F. Bollenbach was named co-chairman of Hilton Hotels Corporation in May 2004, and is also the company’s chief executive officer, a position he has held since joining Hilton in February 1996. Since joining Hilton, Bollenbach has overseen a complete transformation of the company including: the formation of a sales and marketing alliance between Hilton Hotels and Hilton International (owner of the Hilton brand outside the United States), which reunited the brands for the first time in 34 years; the acquisition of Bally Entertainment, which made Hilton the world’s largest gaming company, and the acquisition of some $1.5 billion of hotel real estate in markets with high barriers to entry. He has also spun off Hilton’s gaming operations in a tax-free transaction to shareholders to form Park Place Entertainment (now Caesars Entertainment Corporation), the world’s largest gaming company; and acquired Promus Hotel Corporation. The Promus acquisition added 1,400 hotels and several well-known hospitality brands including Doubletree, Embassy Suites Hotels, Hampton and Homewood Suites by Hilton to Hilton’s portfolio of outstanding properties. Under his leadership, Hilton has grown and firmly enhanced its leadership position in the lodging industry with more than 2,100 hotels and 330,000 rooms. Prior to joining Hilton Hotels Corporation, Bollenbach was senior executive vice president and chief financial officer for The Walt Disney Company, where he was instrumental in the execution of that company’s $19 billion acquisition of Capital Cities/ABC, at the time, the second-largest acquisition in U.S.

Dear Fellow Shareholders
Dear Fellow Shareholders: As we approach the end of the year, and having just released our results for the third quarter 2000, this is an appropriate time to describe the progress we are making against each of the three growth objectives we outlined early in the year. Full details of our financial results for the three- month and nine-month periods ending September 30, 2000 can be found in the press release we issued October 25 (and which can also be accessed through our investor relations webpage via www.Hilton.com), while additional detail will be outlined in the 10-Q which was filed November 13th. Maximize return on assets One of our priorities for 2000 has been to maximize the return on the assets we own. That really means driving revenue-per-available-room (RevPAR) increases and operating at high margins. We are doing exceptionally well here. RevPAR at our comparable U.S. owned hotels was up over 11 percent in the third quarter. When you combine our owned hotels with the ones we operate for third parties, the numbers are every bit as strong. Across our owned-or-operated system, comparable RevPAR was up over 10 percent. And at the Hilton owned-or-operated properties, it was up well over 13 percent. The cities that have been the strongest performers all year continue to do extremely well: New York, San Francisco, Chicago, Honolulu and Boston, among others. The New York Hilton – where we completed an $85 million renovation – is showing excellent results, while our new hotel at Logan Airport in Boston is consistently exceeding our forecasts.

HILTON HOTELS: a CONTEMPORARY CLASSIC Backgrounder
HILTON HOTELS: A CONTEMPORARY CLASSIC Backgrounder Hilton Hotels Corporation is recognized around the world as a preeminent lodging hospitality company, offering guests and customers the finest accommodations, services, amenities and value for business or leisure. While the Hilton brand has, for more than 80 years, been synonymous with excellence in the hospitality industry, our acquisition in 1999 of Promus Hotel Corporation expanded our family of brands to include such well-known and highly respected brand names as Hampton Inn, Doubletree, Embassy Suites Hotels and Homewood Suites by Hilton. Through ownership of some of the most recognized hotels in the world and our newly enhanced brand portfolio, Hilton is now able to offer guests the widest possible variety of hotel experiences, including four-star city center hotels, convention properties, all-suite hotels, extended stay, mid-priced focused service, destination resorts, vacation ownership, airport hotels and conference centers. Today’s Hilton can be viewed as a major industry competitor in a number of areas: • Owning hotels. Hilton owns such unique, irreplaceable hotel assets as New York’s Waldorf=Astoria, The Hilton Hawaiian Village Beach Resort and Spa on Waikiki Beach, the Hilton Waikoloa Village and Chicago’s Palmer House Hilton and the Hilton San Francisco on Union Square. These large-scale properties occupy the best locations in the nation’s best markets. • Managing/franchising hotels. The company is a prominent franchisor of hotels across its entire brand family, with income from management or franchise fees accounting for some 30 percent of Hilton’s total cash flow. • Vacation ownership. Hilton Grand Vacations Club, the company’s vacation ownership business, operates properties across the country including such desirable locales as Las Vegas, Orlando, Miami, New York and Honolulu.
