Hilton Worldwide planning over 50 new hotels in Latin America and the Caribbean | miamiherald.com

When the Hilton hotel chain decided to place its first hotel outside the continental United States, it built the Caribe Hilton in San Juan, Puerto Rico in 1949. Now, 66 years later, the Caribe Hilton — refurbished and upgraded several times — is still on the same impressive peninsula with 17 acres of land, while the Hilton brand has expanded to myriad other locations, currently appearing on 81 hotels throughout Latin America and the Caribbean.
