2. Hilton Worldwide (NYSE:HLT)

Total number of rooms across all hotels: 977,000

The top two hotel chains in the world are American, and this does not really come as a surprise as we mentioned earlier on that America is by far the biggest market in the world for hotels, far ahead of any other country including China. Founded in 1919, Hilton has a presence in 118 countries and territories across the globe with over 6,200 properties. Most of these locations are franchised and Hilton owns many famous hotel brands including Conrad Hotel & Resorts, Embassy Suites Hotels, Hampton by Hilton and many others as well. Its revenue in 2019 was around $9.45 billion which was a 6% increase from 2018. It is considered to be one of the best places to work at in the US, even topping the list of the 2012 Happiest Companies in America.
