History

The company was founded by Reo Stakis in the 1930s.[1] It was sold to Hilton Group in 2000 for £1.2 billion.[1] Following the sale, many of the Stakis top personnel were retained by Hilton and took some of the senior positions within the company including Sir David Michels the then CEO of Stakis, who went on to become Chief Executive of Hilton Group.[2]

  • The Grosvenor Hotel, a former Stakis property in Glasgow, now owned by Hilton[3]
  • Built as the Stakis Earl Grey, this hotel in Dundee was latterly run as a Hilton until its demolition in 2013[4]
