How to book a low cost ‘day room’ at a Hilton hotel
Links on Head for Points may pay us an affiliate commission. A list of partners is here.
Hilton has quietly been rolling out its ‘rooms for day use’ service over the last few years.
This allows you to book a hotel room for the working day – the idea is to compete with the likes of Regus who rent private offices by the day.
The hours offered vary by hotel but usually start at 9am or 10am and end at anywhere between 4pm and 6pm.
I used this offer heavily during the pandemic in October / November 2020, when some Hilton hotels in London were offering rooms at £30 or £40 per day.
Stacked with the ‘2,000 bonus points per stay’ offer that was running at the time, plus double elite night credits, it paid for itself and I ended up with Hilton Honors Diamond status! You won’t get that pricing now, unfortunately.
How do you book a Hilton day room?
These rooms are very easy to book online. Simply visit hilton.com and set your check-in and check-out date to be the same.
Day rooms are no longer bargains, especially with hotels running at high occupancy levels at the moment.
Looking at next Wednesday, the best deal is the DoubleTree London Chelsea (next to Imperial Wharf overground station) for £70.
Other sensibly priced options include:
- DoubleTree London Greenwich at £80
- DoubleTree London Excel at £89
- DoubleTree London Angel at £100
- DoubleTree London Hyde Park at £119
- Hilton London Hyde Park at £130
The DoubleTree London Heathrow is £54 if you have a long layover next Wednesday.
Remember that you will earn Hilton Honors points and elite night credit on these bookings.
