     The consolidated financial statements for the prior period reflect certain
reclassifications to conform with classifications adopted in 1995. These
classifications have no effect on net income.

ITEM 2.          MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                 AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

COMPARISON OF FISCAL QUARTERS ENDED MARCH 31, 1995 AND 1994

OVERVIEW

Net income for the 1995 first quarter increased 41 percent to $32.0 million or
$.66 per share, compared to $22.7 million or $.47 per share in 1994.  Total
revenue in the 1995 quarter increased 12 percent to $381.9 million, while total
operating income increased 29 percent to $74.0 million from $57.3 million in
1994.

HOTELS

Hotel revenue for the 1995 quarter was $158.4 million, an increase of 24
percent over last year.  Adjusting for the impact of increased ownership of the
New Orleans Hilton Riverside, which was consolidated as of June 1994, revenue
increased 9 percent.  Hotel operating income increased 84 percent to $39.1
million from $21.3 million in the 1994 first quarter.  Operating income
improved at nearly all of the Company's owned and partially owned hotels.  An
improving U.S. economy, coupled with increased international visitation and an
improving supply-demand balance of hotel rooms, have benefitted the Hotels
division, which attained overall increases in both occupancy and average room
rates.  In addition, the first quarter did not include Easter week in 1995, a
traditionally slow period for hotels, as it did in 1994.  Occupancy for hotels
owned or managed was 70 percent in 1995 compared to 66 percent in 1994.
Average room rates increased seven percent over the prior year.

Operating income from the New Orleans Hilton Riverside increased $7.5 million
compared to the 1994 first quarter.  This increase includes $4.3 million
attributable to improved operating performance, as indicated by double-digit
increases in occupancy and revenue per available room, and $3.2 million due to
the impact of increased ownership of the property.  Income from the
Waldorf=Astoria increased $.7 million over the 1994 first quarter on increased
occupancy, principally due to growth in individual business traveler stays and
international room nights.  Other major market downtown/convention properties
benefitted from increased business travel including the Palmer House Hilton, 
the one-third owned Chicago Hilton and Towers, and the 50% owned Washington 
Hilton and Towers and New York Hilton and Towers.  Operating income at these 
four properties improved a combined $2.1 million over the prior year.

The Company's airport properties also benefitted from the resurgence of
business travel in the first quarter of 1995.  Combined income for the
Company's wholly-owned and partially owned airport properties increased $1.1
million over the prior year.

Increased leisure travel and meeting/convention business contributed to
improved operating results at the 50% owned Hilton Hawaiian Village.  Results
at the 13% owned Hilton Waikoloa Village also benefitted from strong
meeting/convention volume in the 1995 first quarter.  Combined operating income
from these two properties increased $1.6 million over the 1994 period.

Hotel management and franchise fees increased $2.0 million in 1995 to $21.7
million.  Fee revenue is based primarily on operating revenue at managed
properties and room revenue at franchised hotels.

GAMING

Total gaming revenue increased five percent in the 1995 quarter to $223.5
million from $213.0 million in 1994.  Casino revenue, a component of gaming
revenue, was $118.1 million in 1995 compared to $114.6 million in the prior
year.  Gaming operating income increased six percent to $41.8 million from
$39.6 million in the 1994 first quarter.  Excluding the results of the Casino
Windsor, which opened in May 1994, operating income increased three percent
from the 1994 first quarter.

Operating income at the Las Vegas Hilton increased $3.2 million from the prior
year due primarily to a 49 percent increase in table game win and the impact of
bad debt recoveries, partially offset by a 21 percent decrease in slot income.
Premium play baccarat volume at this property has increased dramatically 
since the opening of the hotel's luxury "Sky Villa" suites.  Baccarat volume 
more than doubled and the win percentage increased two points compared to the 
1994 first quarter.  The Flamingo Hilton-Las Vegas recorded a slight reduction 
in operating income due to continuing construction activities.  A generally 
soft market due to competition from new attractions in the Las Vegas market 
and excess room capacity contributed to a $1.1 million decline in operating 
income at the Flamingo Hilton-Laughlin.  Combined results from the 
Reno Hilton and the Flamingo Hilton-Reno were comparable with 1994.


                                     9

The 1995 period benefitted from the first full quarter of operation of the
Flamingo Casino-New Orleans river casino, which replaced the smaller
temporary river casino in November 1994.  The 1995 first quarter also includes
income from Casino Windsor, which opened in May 1994.  Operating income from
these ventures, including equity and fee income, totaled $4.2 million.

Equity income and management fees from the 19.9% owned Hotel Conrad and
Jupiters Casino in Australia decreased $2.0 million from the prior year,
primarily due to lower table game win.

Occupancy for the Nevada hotel-casinos was 86 percent in the 1995 quarter
compared to 88 percent last year.  The average room rate for Nevada increased
nine percent.

CORPORATE EXPENSE

Corporate expense was $6.9 million in the 1995 quarter compared to $3.6 million
in 1994.  The 1994 corporate expense benefitted from the reimbursement of legal
costs as a result of a lawsuit settlement.

Interest and dividend income increased $1.4 million to $6.5 million in 1995
primarily due to higher investment yields.  Consolidated interest expense
increased $3.9 million due to higher average debt levels and higher interest
rates, while interest expense from unconsolidated affiliates decreased $.6
million.  Consolidated interest expense for the 1995 quarter includes $2.3
million of interest on debt at the New Orleans Hilton Riverside.  The
Company's proportionate share of this expense was included in net interest
expense from unconsolidated affiliates in 1994.

INCOME TAXES

The effective income tax rate for the 1995 period was 39.0 percent compared to
42.2 percent in 1994.  The Company's effective income tax rate is determined by
the level and composition of pretax income subject to varying foreign, state
and local taxes.  The 1995 effective income tax rate benefitted from the
utilization of foreign tax credits, partially offset by increased state and
local taxes.

PROPERTY TRANSACTIONS

The 1995 quarter includes a pretax gain on the sale of land to Hilton Grand
Vacations Company for its vacation ownership project at the Flamingo Hilton -
Las Vegas.  Gains on this transaction are being recognized on an installment
basis.

MINORITY INTEREST

The minority interest results from the consolidation of the New Orleans Hilton
Riverside.  The Company increased its ownership interest in the property from
46.8% to 67.4% in June 1994.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL SPENDING

Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $79.3 million for the three
months ended March 31, 1995 compared to $55.1 million in the same period last
year, due primarily to improved operating results.  Working capital decreased
from $345.4 at December 31, 1994 to $282.1 million at March 31, 1995.  This
decrease was the result of using working capital to reduce long-term borrowings
and to fund new construction and investments.  Capital expenditures during the
period totaled $54.7 million, while new investments amounted to $21.7 million.
During the 1995 quarter the Company reduced its borrowings under its revolving
bank credit lines and its bonds and notes by a total of $67.2 million.

Construction projects are ongoing at various Company properties.  Major
renovation programs are continuing at the San Diego Hilton Beach and Tennis
Resort and the Portland Hilton.  In Orlando, development of the first phase of
a 360-unit vacation ownership resort adjacent to Sea World is anticipated to be
completed in the third quarter of 1995.  Developments at the Company's gaming
properties include the recent completion of the luxury "Sky Villa" suites at
the Las Vegas Hilton and the April 1995 opening of the 19.9% owned Conrad
Treasury hotel-casino in Brisbane, Australia.  In addition, major expansion and
renovation programs at the Flamingo Hilton-Las Vegas and the Reno Hilton are
nearing completion.

The Company anticipates that capital expenditures and investments will total
approximately $350 million in 1995.  The Company intends to fund these
expenditures through internal cash flows, available debt capacity or new
borrowings.

LONG-TERM DEBT

Long-term debt at March 31, 1995 totaled $1.2 billion compared to $1.3 billion
at December 31, 1994.  During the first quarter of 1995 the Company repurchased
$27.9 million of its $200 million Series B Medium Term Notes.  At March 31,
1995, $30 million in financing under this program was still available.

The Company had $219.2 million in commercial paper outstanding at March 31,
1995.  The Company's long-term revolving credit facilities had an aggregate
commitment at March 31, 1995 of $597.5 million, of which $219.2 million
supported the issuance of commercial paper.  Excluding the portion of the
commitment which supports the issuance of commercial paper, $335.0 million of
revolving bank debt financing was available to the Company at March 31, 1995.

The Company has an effective shelf registration with the Securities and
Exchange Commission for up to $65 million of new debt securities. The terms and
conditions of the securities will be determined by market conditions at the time
of issuance.
