Hilton Garden Inn Kicks off Early Start to the Holiday Season with Launch of Online Video Contest

Hilton Garden Inn is the Official Hotel Partner of the Radio City Christmas
Spectacular with "Holiday Kick Start" Video Contest; Winners Treated Like VIPs
at This Year`s Macy`s Thanksgiving Day Parade

MEMPHIS, Tenn.--(Business Wire)--
Professional hoofers and novice shufflers alike will have the chance to show off
their best moves and dance kicks this holiday season as Hilton Garden Inn
celebrates the second year as official hotel sponsor of the Radio City Christmas
Spectacular, starring the Radio City Rockettes, by encouraging consumers to
submit their high kicks and dance moves to the "Holiday Kick Start" video
contest.

In addition to bragging rights, participants will vie for a holiday-inspired
prize of a lifetime: a trip for four to New York City, which includes four
nights in the Hilton Garden Inn New York/West 35th Street (located right in
Herald Square), a bus ride with the Radio City Rockettes to the Macy`s
Thanksgiving Day Parade, four great seats to the Radio City Christmas
Spectacular show at Radio City Music Hall, a special meet and greet with the
Radio City Rockettes before the show and $1,000 of spending money for the big
trip!

"We know there are a lot of aspiring dancers and kickers out there in America
who just can`t resist the urge to lace up their dance shoes and show us what
they`re made of," said Jim Cone, Hilton Garden Inn, Vice President Brand
Marketing. "Nothing says the holiday season quite like the kick line from the
Radio City Rockettes, but we know there are other aspiring dancers out there
with moves worthy of our contest. What better way to kick off the holiday season
a bit early, and celebrate our association with the world famous Radio City
Christmas Spectacular."

Hilton Garden Inn is looking for the traditional and outrageous and everything
in between! Families, friends, pets and grandparents, among others, are
encouraged to submit their smooth moves. The contest, which officially launched
today, will run from September 14th through October 21st. Video submissions will
be judged by Hilton Garden Inn and Radio City to choose the top 10 finalists and
then consumers will have a chance to get in on the fun by voting for their
favorites. The nine first place winners who don`t take home the grand prize will
receive a $100 Macy`s gift card and one "Be My Guest" gift certificate valid for
a one night stay at any Hilton Garden Inn.

This is Hilton Garden Inn`s second year as the official hotel partner of the
Radio City Christmas Spectacular. The touring production will travel to more
than 30 cities in the U.S. and Canada performing their world-famous show and
bringing early holiday joy. Like last year, the cast and crew will stay at many
Hilton Garden Inn and Hilton Family locations during their tour.
