Last chance to book a 2016 weekend stay in the Hilton Winter sale
Links on Head for Points may support the site by paying a commission. See here for all partner links.
It is over two months since I wrote about the Hilton annual Winter sale, which offers decent discounts across Europe, the Middle East and Africa. It is worth another mention as you only have two days left to book.
Whilst it is nominally called the Winter sale, you can book for any weekend until the end of 2016.
The sale offers a discount of up to 35% off the standard Best Available Rate if you are a Hilton HHonors member, albeit that sale rates require prepayment and are non-refundable. The discount is reduced to a maximum 30% if you are not a Hilton HHonors members, so you should sign up for free if you have not already joined.
The sale rates are valid:
At weekends (Fri / Sat / Sun) for the whole of 2016 – in the past, many hotels have also loaded sale rates for weekdays so do check
For bookings made before this Sunday 31st January
Hilton has a special website for the sale which can be found here. The picture above is the new Hilton Paris which would probably welcome your custom this year.
