Operations
Tru by Hilton will operate as a franchise, under Hilton Worldwide. When the launch of the new brand was announced, Tru by Hilton had already signed over 100 franchise agreements. The brand will occupy the mid-scale hotel market. The hotels will offer limited food and beverage options and feature a social area characterized by a large central lobby, referred to as The Hive, that is divided into sections for eating, working, playing and lounging. The front desk, called the Command Center, will also have a social media wall to engage guests.
Tru by Hilton was designed to be scalable so that properties could vary in size and still fit in urban, suburban, airport or highway adjacent settings. All of the brand's hotels will be newly built or created through the re-purposing of existing buildings. The brand's initial locations will be in the Atlanta, Dallas, Houston, Chicago, St. Louis: St. Charles, Missouri, Denver, Portland, Oklahoma City and Nashville markets.
