Maximise your Avios, air miles and hotel points

£100 rooms available at Hilton’s 100 Queen’s Gate hotel in London

Links on Head for Points may support the site by paying a commission.  See here for all partner links.

Travelzoo is currently selling prepaid vouchers for a number of high-end hotels in major cities across Europe and beyond. You can see the list here.

It’s a simple formula. You buy a voucher which guarantees you a room, often with breakfast and some extras, on any date over a specified period.

If you end up not using the voucher, Travelzoo will refund it. If you do use it, you should get a good deal.

One that caught my eye was 100 Queen’s Gate in London. This is part of Hilton’s ‘upmarket boutique’ Curio Collection and is just a short stroll from South Kensington and the major museums there.

Rooms are £99 per room per night, including breakfast and a bottle of wine per stay. It rises by £30 for travel after 14th June but this remains exceptionally cheap for a 5-star hotel in the area. You can stay until March 2022.

The deal works best for a 3+ night stay when you are guaranteed a Queen’s Gate Deluxe room. 2 night stays book into a Mews Superior room which I believe are at basement level.

You can see all of the Travelzoo deals here. The 100 Queen’s Gate offer is here.

For clarity, you won’t earn Hilton Honors points or get any status benefits on the Travelzoo rate, but at this price you probably don’t care – especially as breakfast is included.

How to earn Hilton Honors points and status from UK credit cards

How to earn Hilton Honors points and status from UK credit cards (April 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.

SPECIAL OFFER: Until 30th April 2025, the annual fee on the basic Hilton Honors debit card is halved from £60 to £30. The sign-up bonus is also easier to earn – you need to spend £1,000 either in the UK or abroad within three months. The usual bonus rule requires you to spend the full £1,000 outside the UK.

There is another way of getting Hilton Honors status, and earning Hilton Honors points, from a payment card.

Holders of The Platinum Card from American Express receive FREE Hilton Honors Gold status for as long as they hold the card.  It also comes with Marriott Bonvoy Gold, Radisson Rewards Premium and MeliaRewards Gold status.

We reviewed American Express Platinum in detail here and you can apply here.

SPECIAL OFFER: Until 27th May 2025, the sign-up bonus on American Express Platinum is increased from 50,000 Membership Rewards points to a huge 80,000 points. Points convert 1:1 into Avios (80,000 Avios!) and many other programmes. Some people may see even higher personalised offers. Click here to apply.

    The Curio does seem a good option but though they have spent a lot of money on the lobby, restaurant and bar, the rooms have no soundproofing (not the ones we stayed in anyway) so you can hear the traffic all night in the front facing rooms, or the loud buzzing of food delivery mopeds in the rear facing rooms.

      Listed building – won’t be allowed. The first SW3 house we lived in (1850s built) had a brand new conservatory on the rear and Kesington & Chelsea council had banned the conservatory from being double glazed ….

    For the same price Hilton is selling rooms there directly on the Dream Away rate (non-prepaid and cancellable) and early checkin and late checkout. If you don’t have Hilton gold or above then it’s not as good because the rate doesn’t include breakfast.

    • IanM says:

      Yeah I see that as well Andrew, in fact cheaper than £99, so a pretty poor deal through Travelzoo. Some nice Hiltons available at far less than this, like the Shoreditch Curio at £79.

      • Andrew says:

        And earn HH points and status nights going directly (and avoid your money being tied up with a third party). As they say, nothing to see here.

      • Rob says:

        Look later in the year and you’re paying £200 for a deluxe room and that’s without breakfast or a bottle of wine.

        • Andrew says:
          17 Feb17 February 09:28

          It would always be with free breakfast for gold or above HH, which is most of HFP and a bottle of wine is £7 from Waitrose next door. But take your point, albeit that the rates are higher later in the year *at the moment*, but as we move closer to the time and international visitors to the UK remain low throughout 2021, the prices will go down.

            17 Feb17 February 09:50

            Agree. At the moment is an important distinction

            Let’s be honest if the current travel rules persist there won’t be an in flux of tourists to London so expect rates to be low.

          • Andrew says:
            17 Feb17 February 09:58

            And even if the rules do ease, people’s appetite to travel to the UK will be much lower than normal and there are a lot of hotel rooms in London to fill, so prices will need to be keen to attract tourists and domestic guests.

            Not sure I can agree. The weather will be getting better soon and UK hotels will be opening up. I can see domestic travel being given the green light well before international travel. People are siting on a lot of money and Rishi want’s us to spend it in the UK and may even offer more incentives to encourage that spending at home.

          • IanM says:
            17 Feb17 February 11:19

            London hotel prices are also driven by business, and with work from home being the rule far into the year, plus the huge drop in international travellers, there will be discounted rates at London hotels right through 2021. No way these rates will rise to normal levels

          • Andrew says:

            I used to achieve Spire status on IHG from work stays alone in London, so that’s 70 nights a year spent at hotels in the city. Even once we are allowed to by law to travel, my employer will ask that meetings which used to require me to travel are either done on zoom or done in a day trip, because of belt-tightening so I think my hotel stays will be once in a blue moon at least for a couple of years until old habits slip back in.

    Booked a three night Queengate after June out of curiosity really as never bothered with Hilton , will be interesting , used the link so hopefully a bit of contribution to the site .

    Travelzoo does have some decent deals which are all fully refundable which is a big plus in the current climate. I recently applied for a refund on a voucher which was processed promptly.

    I bought a voucher last year for the new kimpton in Barcelona which runs until 2022. Fingers crossed can use it this year- I hope they will recognise IHG status.

    I reckon there is a lot of pent up demand within the UK for a holiday break, even a domestic one…so I would guess if restrictions do get relaxed then bookings (and prices) will go up.

    • Anna says:

      London prices are already outrageous for April, I have a long-standing provisional booking for the IC O2, locked in just over £200 pn for a Club Suite for 4 of us, price for the same suite now over £300 pn.

  • ianM says:
    17 Feb17 February 20:47

    Got a free night at the O2 IC for early June, hopefully to see Alicia Keys, but prob about 1% chance of that. Will still come down for the break though, can’t be bothered trying to extend that credit card night again
