IMPORTANT SPECIAL MEETING — SEPTEMBER 18, 2007

PLEASE ACT PROMPTLY TO VOTE YOUR SHARES

September 7, 2007

Dear Fellow Stockholder:

Our latest records show that we still have not received your voting instructions for the important special meeting of stockholders of Hilton Hotels Corporation, to be held on Tuesday, September 18, 2007.  Your vote is extremely important, regardless of the number of shares of common stock of Hilton Hotels that you own.

If the merger contemplated by the merger agreement is completed, you will be entitled to receive $47.50 in cash, without interest and less any applicable withholding tax, for each share of our common stock, $2.50 par value per share, owned by you, as more fully described in the proxy statement dated August 8, 2007.  For the reasons set forth in the proxy statement, our board of directors recommends that you vote “FOR” the adoption of the merger agreement and “FOR” adjournment of the special meeting, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies.  We respectfully request that you vote your shares at your earliest convenience.

 

IMPORTANT RECENT DEVELOPMENT

Institutional Shareholder Services (ISS) and Glass Lewis & Co., the leading proxy advisory firms that issue voting recommendations to institutional investors, have both recommended that holders of Hilton Hotels Corporation common stock vote “FOR” the proposal to adopt the merger agreement and “FOR” the proposal to approve the adjournment of the special meeting, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies.

Please note that adoption of the merger agreement described in the proxy statement requires the affirmative vote of at least a majority of our outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote on such matter.  Accordingly, if you do not vote it has the same effect as a vote “against” the proposal.

Additional instructions regarding the prompt methods to vote your shares are contained on the reverse side of this letter.  If you have any questions or need assistance voting your shares, please call D. F. King & Co., Inc. toll free at 1-800-901-0068.

On behalf of our Board of Directors, thank you for your cooperation and continued support.

Sincerely,

Stephen F. Bollenbach

Co-Chairman and CEO
