Hampton Inns Offering 10 Percent Off Over the Holidays

November 25, 2008 at 6:08 PM | 0 Comments

And the deals just keep a-coming. Hampton Inns have begun offering guests 10 percent off their available rates for weekend stays between Thursday and Sunday nights at 1,600 participating locations.

Hampton's Holiday Hit the Road Rates are good from now through January 4, 2009 and travel must be completed by January 5th. An added bonus is also thrown in to the mix because guests who book a weekend stay will get a $10 Visa gift card as well (It will be mailed to you 7-10 days after your stay.)

If you're a Hilton HHonors member, any online Hampton Inn bookings will net you 250 bonus points for stays booked and completed by January 5th too. Hampton Inn wasn't in our travel agenda over the holidays but it might be now.

Reservations can be made online at Hampton.com. Click on the "Hit the Road Rates" banner .

Hotel Loyalty Program News :: How Would You Spend a Million Hilton Points?

September 3, 2008 at 12:27 PM | 3 Comments

When we buy lottery tickets a couple times a year, we don't expect to actually win. It's the worth the dollar though, to dream about how we'd spend the millions.

Hilton Hhonors' new sweepstakes with National Car Rental feels a bit the same way. Register at FiveMillionReasons.com and either book a night at a Hilton property or a National Car Rental by November 30, 2008 (and stay or drive by December 15) and your name goes into a drawing.

Then, five obnoxiously lucky people will win one million Hilton Hhonors points each. So since we're all dreaming here, we have to ask: What would you do with the prize?

Hilton's Super-Secret Hotel Lab Hidden Inside the LAX Garden Inn

August 27, 2008 at 2:01 PM | 0 Comments

Ohhhh, we love us some good top secret info: apparently, Hilton has a hidden secret lab -- so secret that it goes by a "code name." It's tucked inside a wing of the Hilton Garden Inn El Segundo, an unassuming LAX airport hotel.

Well, we suppose it's not so secret anymore since Portfolio wrote it up this week:

The secret wing, code-named University, is Hilton's "hotel laboratory," the place were the company tests and refines its next generation of rooms. A year or two from now, the ideas, concepts, and furnishings that have been tried out in El Segundo will make their way into Hilton-brand hotels around the world, including Doubletree, Embassy Suites, Homewood, Hampton Inn, and, of course, Hilton and Hilton Garden Inn

This is sort of like the much-hyped prototype "warehouse" that Starwood used to develop its Aloft brand, except the Hilton testing grounds are a bit different since HGI guests can actually stay in them overnight.

HotelChatter's Guide to Loyalty Programs:: Hilton HHonors

October 3, 2007 at 10:40 AM | 2 Comments

Until recently we thought hotel loyalty programs were for Account Executives rolling their business travel points into a family vacation at a bland resort every year or two. However, funny thing happened when we started investigating these programs -- we found some of them are downright useful if you know how to cut through the red tape. This series is meant as a jumping off point to full fledged discussions on each loyalty program we feature. So comment, contribute, question, and cajole here.

HotelChatter's Barbara Benham continues to look at hotel loyalty programs today with the break down of Hilton Hotels. Called Hilton HHonors, this program is good at any Hilton which includes all of their brands like Garden Inn, DoubleTree, Hampton Inn, Embassy Suites, Conrad Hotels, and Homewood Suites. We still don't know what the extra "H" is for but we do have the full program details for you after the jump.
