This prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus contain forward-looking statements that relate to future events or to future business or performance. These statements include statements relating to our plans, strategies, objectives, expectations, intentions and adequacy of resources, and are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
The words "believes," "anticipates," "expects," "intends," "plans," and "projects" and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance and are subject to risks and uncertainties including, among other things,
which could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results or those anticipated. Although we believe the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, we cannot assure you that our expectations will be attained and caution you not to place undue reliance on such statements. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect current or future events or circumstances.
We are primarily engaged, together with our subsidiaries, in the ownership, management and development of hotels, resorts and timeshare properties and the franchising of lodging properties. Our hotel brands include Hilton, Hilton Garden Inn, Doubletree, Embassy Suites, Hampton, Homewood Suites by Hilton, Conrad and Harrison Conference Centers. We develop and operate timeshare resorts
2
through Hilton Grand Vacations Company and its related entities, which we wholly own. We are also engaged in various other activities related or incidental to the operation of hotels. Our principal executive offices are located at 9336 Civic Center Drive, Beverly Hills, California 90210, and our telephone number is (310) 278-4321.
The net proceeds from the sale of the shares will be received by the selling stockholder. None of the proceeds from any sales by the selling stockholder will be received by us.
The following table sets forth certain information with respect to the shares of common stock owned and to be offered by this prospectus from time to time by Pan Global Partners, a Hawaii limited partnership or its transferees, pledgees, donees, distributees and successors-in-interest. We refer to all of these possible sellers as a selling stockholder in this prospectus. Pan Global acquired the 5,200,000 shares of common stock offered by this prospectus from us in connection with our acquisition of Pan Global's interest in the Hilton Waikoloa Village on May 1, 2002. The selling stockholder may resell all, a portion or none of the shares at any time and therefore we can give no estimate as to the number of shares that will be held upon termination of the offering. We are registering the shares to permit the selling stockholder and its transferees, pledgees, donees, distributees and other successors-in-interest to resell the shares when they deem appropriate.
The following table sets forth information regarding the ownership of the common stock to be offered from time to time by the selling stockholder as of May 17, 2002.

Pursuant to a registration rights agreement, which has been filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, we agreed to file the registration statement to register the resale of the shares by the selling stockholder.
Sales of the shares of common stock may be made from time to time by the selling stockholder, including its pledgees, donees, transferees, distributees, successors-in-interest or others who may later hold such selling stockholder's interest in the shares and who are otherwise entitled to resell the shares using this prospectus, in one or more transactions, which may involve crosses or block transactions, on the New York Stock Exchange, the Pacific Stock Exchange or any other national securities exchange on which our common stock is traded, in the over-the-counter market, in privately negotiated transactions, through the writing of options or warrants, through the settlement of short sales, or otherwise or in any combination of such transactions at market prices then prevailing, at prices related to the then current market price, at negotiated prices, at varying prices determined at the time of sale and/or at fixed prices. In addition, any shares of common stock covered by this prospectus which qualify for sale pursuant to Section 4(1) of the Securities Act or Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act may be sold under those provisions rather than pursuant to this prospectus. The shares of common stock may be offered in any manner permitted by law, including through underwriters, brokers, dealers or
3
agents, and directly to purchasers. The shares of common stock may also be sold in the following types of transactions:
In effecting sales, brokers or dealers engaged by the selling stockholder may arrange for other brokers or dealers to participate in the resales.
In connection with the distribution of the shares, the selling stockholder may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers. In connection with such transactions, broker-dealers may engage in short sales of the shares in the course of hedging the positions they assume with the selling stockholder. The selling stockholder may also sell the shares short and redeliver the shares to close out the short positions. The selling stockholder may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers, which require the delivery to the broker-dealer of the shares. The selling stockholder may also loan or pledge the shares to a broker-dealer and the broker-dealer may sell the shares so loaned or upon a default the broker-dealer may effect sales of the pledged shares. In addition to the foregoing, the selling stockholder may enter into, from time to time, other types of hedging transactions.
Brokers, dealers or agents may receive compensation in the form of commissions, underwriting discounts or concessions from the selling stockholder and/or the purchasers in amounts to be negotiated in connection with the sale. The selling stockholder and any brokers or dealers or agents and any other participating brokers or dealers may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act and any commission, discount or concession, and any profit on the sale of shares by the selling stockholder, may be deemed to be underwriting discounts or commissions under the Securities Act.
At the time a particular offering of shares is made, to the extent required under the Securities Act, a prospectus supplement will be distributed, which will set forth the number of shares being offered and the terms of the offering, including the names of any underwriters, any discounts, commissions and other items constituting compensation to underwriters, dealers or agents, the public offering price and any discounts, commissions or concessions allowed or paid by underwriters to dealers.
We have agreed to indemnify the selling stockholder and its directors, officers, affiliates and controlling persons against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribute with respect to payments which the selling stockholder may be required to make. The selling stockholder has agreed to indemnify us for liabilities arising under the Securities Act with respect to written information furnished to us by it or to contribute in connection with these liabilities.
Pursuant to the registration rights agreement, we have agreed to keep the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part effective for the sale of shares for a period of one year commencing May 1, 2002, subject to extension if the selling stockholder is required to suspend sales of the shares under certain circumstances, or such shorter period when all of the shares have been sold pursuant to this prospectus. We may, under specified circumstances, suspend the availability of this prospectus for
4
use by the selling stockholder and its transferees, pledgees, donees, distributees and successors-in-interest. We have agreed to pay the expenses incidental to the registration of the shares and to reimburse the selling stockholder for the reasonable fees and disbursements of one law firm chosen by the selling stockholder but in no event shall our reimbursement of these fees exceed $15,000. The selling stockholder will bear commissions and discounts, if any, attributable to the sale of shares of common stock. Of the shares offered by this prospectus, 520,000 shares of Pan Global Partners are in an escrow account and will be released to Pan Global Partners upon the occurrence of certain events. The shares in escrow may be distributed by the selling stockholder in the manner described above.
Certain persons participating in the distribution of the shares of common stock may engage in transactions that stabilize the price of the common stock. Under the rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in a distribution of the shares offered pursuant to this prospectus may be limited in its ability to engage in market activities with respect to those shares. The selling stockholder will be subject to the provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, including Regulation M. Those rules and regulations may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any shares offered by the selling stockholder pursuant to this prospectus.
LEGAL MATTERS
The validity of the shares of common stock offered by this prospectus have been passed upon for us by Bryan S. White, Vice President and Senior Counsel of Hilton. Mr. White beneficially owns or has rights to acquire an aggregate of less than 0.01% of our outstanding common stock.
EXPERTS
The consolidated financial statements incorporated by reference in this prospectus and elsewhere in the registration statement have been audited by Arthur Andersen LLP, independent public accountants, as indicated in their reports with respect thereto and are incorporated by reference in reliance upon the authority of said firm as experts in giving said report.

ITEM 15. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, Article XI of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Paragraph 35 of our bylaws, as amended, authorize and empower us to indemnify our directors, officers, employees and agents, and agreements with each of our directors and officers provide for indemnification against liabilities incurred in connection with, and related expenses resulting from, any claim, action or suit brought against any such person as a result of such person's relationship with us, PROVIDED that such persons acted in accordance with a stated standard of conduct in connection with the acts or events on which such claim, action or suit is based. The finding of either civil or criminal liability on the part of such persons in connection with such acts or events is not necessarily determinative of the question of whether such persons have met the required standard of conduct and are, accordingly, entitled to be indemnified.
We have purchased for the benefit of our officers and directors and those of certain or our subsidiaries insurance policies whereby the insurance companies agree, among other things, that in the event any such officer or director becomes legally obligated to make a payment (including legal fees and expenses) in connection with an alleged wrongful act, such insurance companies will pay us up to $100,000,000. Wrongful act means any breach of duty, neglect, error, misstatement, misleading statement or other act done by one of our officers or directors or any subsidiary.

(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement; and
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;
II-2
provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-3, Form S-8 or Form F-3, and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.
(2) That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933 each such post-effective amendments shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of these securities at that time will be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
II-3
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-3 and has duly caused this Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Beverly Hills, State of California, on May 17, 2002.
