History


The chain was founded in 1982. At that time, Hilton and Hilton International were completely separate companies. Because the domestic arm of Hilton did not have the right to call an overseas hotel they managed a Hilton, they created the Conrad brand, named for founder Conrad Hilton. In the same way, Hilton International operated hotels in the US under the name Vista Hotels. When the two chains were reunited, the Vista name was phased out, while the Conrad brand was retained.
Conrad Jupiters was the brand's first hotel and opened in 1985.
With the reunification of the two companies, Conrad has begun branding hotels in the US and now includes assets in Chicago, Miami, New York and Indianapolis.
