&#8216;Hampton by Hilton has zero tolerance for racism or discrimination of any kind. On Saturday, we were alerted to an online video of a guest incident at one of our franchise properties,&#8217; Shruti Gandhi Buckley, the Global Head of Hampton by Hilton, said in a statement announcing the termination of the employee.<br />
&#8216;We have apologized directly to the guest and her family for their experience, and will work with them and the hotel to make this right. We remain in contact with the hotel&#8217;s ownership about follow up actions, and to ensure that in the future, their employees reflect the best value of our brand and are welcoming to all.&#8217; </span></div>
