Breakfast in the Hilton hotels can be a major extra on the final cost of the room, however, not everyone knows that many group chains always offer it free of charge to all guests, even those without any elite status.
Which Hilton hotels offer free breakfast to everyone
In this article:
The first thing to understand is that not all brands offer the same type of breakfast, likewise not all free breakfasts are offered in the same ways to customers with elite status.
The best bonuses
Currently in Italy there are no hotels of the Hilton insignia that offer free breakfast, but it is easy to find them around the rest of the world
- Canopy
- Embassy Suites
- Hampton Inn
- Home 2 Suites
- Homewood Suites
- Tru
In all these hotel families it is possible to find various types of breakfasts. There are those like Hampton Inn who generally offer a cold buffet and little else, to Tru, Hilton's young brand that offers original breakfasts in a very fashionable setting.
Choosing these facilities means saving many tens of euros per day on the final bill.
Which Hilton hotels offer free breakfast to Gold and Diamond members
Hilton Honors Members who have one of the two highest levels, Gold or Diamond, can choose to receive free breakfast at the other hotels in the group.
- Conrad
- Curio
- DoubleTree
- Hilton
- Hilton Garden Inn
- LXR
- Tapestry Collection
- Waldorf Astoria
This is in detail the image that summarizes the privileges of the various elite levels under the Hilton Honors program.
Breakfast is one of the privileges that elite guests can choose from the options provided by My Way Hotel Benefit.
What are my way benefits
Obtained Gold status or higher, you have access to special benefits every time you stay at one of the many properties in the Hilton group.
To consult them you have to log in with the app and access the dedicated section.
Generally speaking, a Gold user can choose between extra points or breakfast, in hotels that do not offer breakfast included.
How to choose benefits?
You can update your choice up to 24h before check-in, if in doubt, however, it is always better to ask for confirmation of your selection upon arrival at the facility.
Important to avoid wasting points. If you check out very early, for example to go to the airport, you will not be able to take advantage of breakfast so remember to prefer points.
Likewise always look at the difference between the cost of the room without breakfast, the rate with breakfast included, and the cost of an executive room.
My advice is, for one-night stays, evaluate the cost difference between the various solutions. Also if you do not like to binge at the buffet and prefer the classic Italian breakfast (where possible) again I would advise against opting for the included breakfast, better to take the points to turn into free stays.
In addition, executive rooms give free access to lounges, in hotels that have this service, here you can not only have breakfast in the morning, but during the rest of the day you can access and enjoy free snacks, drinks and any other services offered.
Again you will have to choose the points option rather than breakfast, which since it is already provided in your accommodation you will thus be entitled to earn the bonus, which can be worth 250 to 1,000 points per stay.
Do you want to know how to get the Gold level for free and be able to enjoy free breakfast in your stays? Simple you just need to apply for the American Express platinum.
Free breakfast at Hilton hotels in the U.S.
For the past few years, the free breakfast in the U.S. has been replaced by a voucher, or credit to spend on food & Beverage in the hotel. The voucher is standard only in the US. It can be used to pay for breakfast, room service, dinner or a cocktail. The value of the voucher changes depending on the facility and the number of guests.
P.S. If you stay in areas where the cost of living is higher such as in the cities of Boston, Chicago, District of Columbia, Key West, Key Largo, New York City, San Francisco, Los Angeles County and In Hawaii you will enjoy an increased credit of 3$
It is important to understand that these vouchers cannot be combined, so it is not possible to use those not used in the previous days. Moreover, the maximum discount is the one provided for only the two guests, even if there are other guests in the room.
