Instead of deciding to choose one particular hotel, I have choosen to do it on the Hilton Group. There are now over 530 Hilton branded hotels across the world in 78 countries across six continents and 4 of these are in the republic of Ireland and 2 in Northern Ireland: The Conrad Dublin, The Hilton Dublin, The Hilton Dublin Airport and The Hilton Dublin Kilmainham in the republic and The Hilton Templepatrick and The Hilton Belfast in the north.

In 1949, at the Caribe Hilton Hotel's Beachcomber Bar in San Juan, Puerto Rico, Ramon "Monchito" Marrero created the Piña Colada. In 1947 The Roosevelt Hilton in New York City becomes the first hotel in the world to install televisions in guest rooms. Keith Richards and Mick Jagger perform in the East Penthouse on the 45th floor of Hilton New York October 28, 1965. The piano played by the musicians is still at the hotel today. John Lennon and Yoko Ono held their first Bed-In for Peace between March 25 and March 31, 1969 at the Amsterdam Hilton in Room 902. This room became a popular tourist destination. The Amsterdam Hilton hotel also has had two more notable incidents. On June 27, 1991, Dutch drug kingpin Klaas Bruinsma, once a major drug dealer of Europe, was assassinated in front of the building. On July 11, 2001, Dutch artist Herman Brood committed
