Hilton To Retain Tysons Headquarters, Add Jobs Over 5 Years

TYSONS, VA — Hilton will retain its Tysons-based headquarters and add 350 new jobs over five years, Gov. Glenn Youngkin's office announced Thursday.

Hilton, a global hospitality company, has been headquartered at 7930 Jones Branch Drive, McLean, VA since 2009. Hilton owns 18 hotel brands, such as Hilton Hotels & Resorts, Waldorf Astoria Hotels & Resorts, DoubleTree by Hilton, Hampton by Hilton, Hilton Garden Inn and Embassy Suites by Hilton.

"The 2009 move of the Hilton headquarters to Tysons helped spur the transformation of Tysons into a vibrant urban community,” said Providence District Supervisor Dalia Palchik, who represents much of Tysons. "Hilton’s Park Place II headquarters, and the adjacent Hilton McLean Tysons Corner, will now continue to enjoy the benefits of our wonderful community for years to come."

The Tysons headquarters currently has 800 employees. The company plans to make upgrades to its headquarters facility, integrating technology to modernize the office experience.

"Northern Virginia has been Hilton’s home for more than a decade, and the region has played an instrumental role in helping us create the best, most inclusive home for our Team Members while also managing the demands of a global business," said Chris Nassetta, president and CEO of Hilton. "We appreciate the continued support of the Commonwealth of Virginia, Fairfax County and the Tysons Partnership in ensuring we continue to attract strong, diverse talent to our vibrant, growing region."

The Virginia Economic Development Partnership worked with the Fairfax County Economic Development Authority to keep Hilton's headquarters in Tysons. In addition, Youngkin approved $5 million in funds from the Virginia Economic Development Incentive Grant, which is awarded to projects with a large number of employees and high wages for its area. Hilton is also eligible to receive benefits from Major Business Facility Job Tax Credit for any new full-time jobs created. The Virginia Jobs Investment Program will support Hilton's employee training activities.

"Virginia is America’s hometown for corporate headquarters, and we are proud that Hilton will continue to call Fairfax County home," said Youngkin in a statement. "For more than a decade, this global company has benefited from the Commonwealth’s combination of strategic location, diverse, world-class talent, and stable business climate, and we look forward to a continued partnership as Hilton recommits to Virginia and reinvents its headquarters for the future."
