                            Hilton Hotels Corporation
                    Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Statements


The unaudited pro forma statements of income and balance sheet of Hilton
illustrate the estimated effects of the acquisition of Promus Hotel
Corporation. The unaudited pro forma balance sheet of Hilton as of September
30, 1999 presents the financial position of Hilton as if the acquisition had
been completed as of such date. The unaudited pro forma statements of income
of Hilton for the nine month period ended September 30, 1999 and the year
ended December 31, 1998 present the results of operations of Hilton as if the
acquisition had been completed as of January 1, 1998.

The unaudited pro forma statements of income and balance sheet of Hilton are
based upon the historical consolidated financial statements of Hilton and
Promus contained in each company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 1998 and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period
ended September 30, 1999 and should be read in conjunction with those
consolidated financial statements and related notes.

The unaudited pro forma statements of income of Hilton for the nine months
ended September 30, 1999 and the year ended December 31, 1998 give effect to
the acquisition of Promus applying the purchase method of accounting and
certain adjustments that are directly attributable to the acquisition as if
such transactions were consummated as of January 1, 1998.

The unaudited pro forma balance sheet of Hilton presents the combined
financial position of Hilton and Promus as of September 30, 1999. The
unaudited pro forma balance sheet reflects the acquisition of Promus applying
the purchase method of accounting and certain adjustments that are directly
attributable to the acquisition. Such data further assume that the
transactions described above were consummated as of September 30, 1999.

The pro forma financial data does not purport to represent what the financial
position or results of operations of Hilton would have been if the
acquisition had in fact been consummated on such date or at the beginning of
the period indicated or to project the financial position or results of
operations for any future date or period. The pro forma adjustments are based
upon available information and upon certain assumptions that Hilton
management believe are reasonable. In the opinion of management, all
adjustments necessary to present fairly the unaudited pro forma financial
information have been made.

For the purposes of preparing the financial statements of Hilton, management
will undertake a study to establish the fair value of the acquired assets and
liabilities of Promus. The allocation of the purchase price to the assets and
liabilities acquired reflected in this pro forma financial data is
preliminary. Accordingly, the actual financial position and results of
operations may differ from these pro forma amounts.

                Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Statements



The following table sets forth the determination and allocation of the
purchase price of Promus. Per the terms of the merger agreement, Hilton paid
$38.50 per share in cash for 55 percent of the outstanding Promus shares. The
remaining 45 percent of Promus shares were exchanged for Hilton common stock.
Each share of Promus common stock was exchanged for 3.2158 Hilton common
shares, based on an exchange ratio computation defined in the merger
agreement. For purposes of determining the purchase price in the pro forma
financial statements, a Hilton common stock price of $9.93 per share is used,
representing the average closing price for the period beginning three days
before and ending three days after the date the exchange ratio became fixed.

(1)    Pro forma results do not reflect any operational efficiencies, cost
       savings associated with greater economies of scale or revenue enhancement
       opportunities which Hilton expects to achieve as a result of the
       acquisition. Hilton expects to realize pre-tax annual revenue
       enhancements and pre-tax cost savings, including operating efficiencies,
       totaling approximately $90 million upon full integration of Promus.
       Hilton expects to realize approximately $55 million of benefits in 2000,
       and the entire $90 million of benefits beginning in 2001. However, the
       estimated benefits are based on projections and assumptions, not actual
       experiences. As a result, Hilton's ability to realize these benefits
       could be adversely impacted by difficulties integrating Promus into
       Hilton, the inability to achieve certain economies of scale or other
       risks associated with achieving projected revenues and cost savings.
       Hilton cannot assure you that these revenue enhancements and cost savings
       will be achieved.

(2)    There are no significant adjustments required to the historical financial
       data of Promus to conform to the accounting policies of Hilton. Certain
       reclassifications have been made to the historical balances of Hilton and
       Promus to conform to the financial presentation of the two entities.
       Hilton's rooms, food and beverage and other revenues and expenses have
       been reclassified as owned hotel revenues and expenses, and depreciation
       and amortization expense has been segregated. Promus' general and
       administrative expenses have been reclassified as corporate and other
       operating expenses. These reclassifications have no effect on historical
       or pro forma operating income, income from continuing operations or
       earnings per share.

(3)    To adjust depreciation and amortization to reflect the revaluation of
       acquired property and equipment, equity investments, identifiable
       intangible assets and goodwill.

(4)    To reverse direct acquisition costs included in the historical Promus
       results.

(5)    To record the estimated increase in interest expense and long-term debt
       associated with

       -      the cash portion of the acquisition consideration totaling $1,670
              million,

       -      estimated change of control and severance costs relating to
              certain Promus employees,

       -      estimated direct acquisition costs of Hilton and Promus, and

       -      increased interest rates on existing indebtedness of Hilton and
              Promus.

       The estimated increase in interest expense for the incremental debt is
       computed at an assumed weighted average borrowing rate of 6.32% for the
       nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 6.81% for the year ended
       December 31, 1998, representing LIBOR plus 125 basis points. Change of
       control costs include contractual payments for certain Promus executives,
       including option cash-outs. Severance costs include termination benefits
       related to the elimination of duplicative corporate office and
       operational support functions. Direct acquisition costs include
       investment advisor fees and bank financing costs. Each 1/8 percent change
       in the rate on this financing would result in a change in interest
       expense of $2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and $2
       million for the year ended December 31, 1998.

       The pro forma adjustment to interest expense also includes amortization
       of estimated debt issuance costs totaling $4 million for the nine months
       ended September 30, 1999 and $5 million for the year ended December 31,
       1998.

(6)    To record the tax effect of the pro forma adjustments to depreciation and
       amortization expense, and interest expense. The amortization of goodwill
       is not deductible for tax purposes.

(7)    To conform Promus' accounting for certain receivables associated with
       purchasing and service fees to Hilton's policy.

(8)    To record the deferred tax effect of the pro forma balance sheet
       adjustments, primarily related to property and equipment, equity
       investments, identifiable intangible assets, severance and acquisition
       costs.

(9)    To increase Promus' equity hotel investments to estimated fair market
       value, net of the elimination of Promus common shares owned by Hilton at
       September 30, 1999.

(10)   To adjust Promus' property and equipment to estimated fair market value.


                                        A-6

(11)   To value Promus' identifiable intangible assets at fair market value and
       reflect the excess purchase price over the estimated fair value of assets
       acquired and liabilities assumed. Identifiable intangible assets include
       management and franchise contracts, lease agreements and acquired brands
       and trademarks, and are amortized over a weighted average life of 23
       years. Goodwill is amortized over 40 years.

(12)   To record deferred financing costs associated with financing the cash
       portion of the acquisition, net of deferred financing costs of Promus not
       valued in purchase accounting, and to adjust certain other assets to
       estimated fair market value.

(13)   To record the accrual of certain direct acquisition costs of Hilton and
       Promus.

(14)   The net increase in stockholders' equity results from:

       -    the issuance of an estimated $1,124 million in Hilton equity
            consideration in connection with the acquisition and
       -    the elimination of Promus' historical equity.
