Hilton has launched its Winter Sale, offering discounts of up to 33% off the Best Available Rate for hotels in Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
There is a special home page for this promotion which you can find here.
You can book for the whole of 2015 so you may have an opportunity to lock in a rate for an event you know you will need to attend next year.
These rates are valid:
Until 28 December 2015, weekends only
Between 19 December 2014 and 5 January 2015, midweek at selected hotels
Rates are non-refundable
Discount is up to 33% off Best Available Rate except at Hampton properties where it is 15%
I ran a quick example which looked pretty attractive. For a weekend in Prague in late February – 20th to 22nd – the sale rate at the Old Town property is 2,010k compared to 2,415k per night for the usual Advanced Purchase rate.
Based on this non-scientific sample, you may well be able to find some decent deals here.

How to earn Hilton Honors points and status from UK credit cards (February 2025)
There are various ways of earning Hilton Honors points from UK credit and debit cards. Many cards also have generous sign-up bonuses.
There are two dedicated Hilton Honors debit cards. These are especially attractive when spending abroad due to the 0% or 0.5% FX fee, depending on card.
You also receive FREE Hilton Honors status for as long as you hold the debit cards – Gold status with the Plus card and Silver status with the basic card. This is a great reason to apply even if you rarely use it.
We reviewed the Hilton Honors Plus Debit Card here and the Hilton Honors Debit Card here.
You can apply for either card here.
