About DoubleTree
DoubleTree gives every arriving guest a warm chocolate chip cookie, a practice running since the 1980s that accounts for tens of millions of cookies a year and is the single thing most people can name about the brand. Hilton acquired the chain in 1999 through its purchase of Promus, which also brought Hampton and Embassy Suites into the group in a single transaction.
