History

The first Homewood Suites was founded in Omaha, Nebraska in 1989.[1] For the next ten years, the hotel chain was owned by Memphis-based Promus Hotel Corporation, which also owned Embassy Suites, Hampton Inn and Doubletree. Hilton purchased Promus in 1999 for $3.1 billion dollars, making Homewood Suites a Hilton brand alongside the other three Promus chains. In 2000, Homewood Suites changed its name to Homewood Suites by Hilton, reflecting the change of ownership that went into effect the year before.

Awards

Homewood Suites has been named “Best Value Hotel Chain” for leisure and business travelers by Zagat surveyors for three consecutive years from 2007-2009. They also have won a J.D. Power award. [2]
