Keepers of the Flame
Hall of Honor Inductees
In October of 1969, at a banquet held in his honor, Conrad N. Hilton implored future graduates of the Hilton College to “hold high” the “thousand-year-old flame of hospitality.” Industry professionals would also do well to follow the light cast by the men and women inducted into the Hospitality Hall of Honor.
Since the first induction ceremony took place on September 25, 1996, more than 40 hospitality industry leaders have joined Conrad N. Hilton, J. Willard Marriott, Vernon Stouffer and Kemmons Wilson, the Hall of Honor’s inaugural inductees. Members of the Hall of Honor represent the world’s most successful hospitality interests and most recognizable brands.
