I was bummed out too about the brand name chosen to represent this hotel and believe me, given a choice I would rather this were a Mandarin Oriental instead. But all things considerd this is still a decent brand. "Hampton by Hilton" has fairly attractive properties in the central areas of cities like Berlin and Miami and is in the works of opening a hotel in Dubai in the near future. When most of us hear Hampton, we still think "Hampton Inn", an exceedingly middle of the road hotel brand in squat four-storey buildings. The Hampton Inn transition to "Hampton by Hilton" I believe is a notch or two improvement in quality of the brand. Just having the word Hilton in the name says something. Not to mention, the hotel will be in a sleek and tasteful looking building. I still think this is worth being excited about.
