Hilton Named World's Best Workplace No. 1 for Second Consecutive Year

On November 12, 2026, Hilton announced through official channels that it had been named No. 1 on the 2026 World's Best Workplaces list by Fortune and Great Place To Work. This is the third time Hilton has topped the list and its second consecutive year in the top spot; it is also the only hotel company ever to have topped the list. Earlier reports did not disclose details such as the specific statistical methodology of the list selection, the number of participating companies, or scores. Follow-up reports said the selection was based on feedback from about 500,000 team members across 144 countries and regions, and that Hilton has been on the list for 11 consecutive years since 2016; internal surveys showed that 93% of hotel managers started in frontline positions, and 67% first moved into management positions within three years of entering the industry. Current progress is that Hilton has announced the award news and the scale of the selection feedback; no other institution has responded to or provided additional explanation of the result.
