ENDS TONIGHT: ‘Best Bed At The Bridge’ via Hilton Honors is a great deal due to date change

You may remember that, a few weeks ago, I was sitting in a Hilton hotel bed built into the stands at Stamford Bridge, watching Chelsea FC Women.

Hilton Honors has been auctioning a similar package for the Chelsea FC Women vs Arsenal game in March.

Due to a last minute date change – to 7pm, on Friday 15th March – most bidders have had to withdraw. You could get a good deal if you jump in tonight, especially as the offer includes a night at 100 Queen’s Gate.

Confusingly, Hilton is saying that the game starts at 12.30pm. The Chelsea FC website says that it starts at 7pm which makes more sense.

You can bid to attend here.

What does ‘Best Bed At The Bridge’ get you?

This is what you get, for two people, if you bid for this experience over at the Hilton Experiences website.

You get a night at 100 Queen’s Gate, which is part of Hilton’s Curio Collection. It’s a smart boutique hotel just a few minutes from the South Kensington museums.

You can stay on EITHER Thursday 14th March (before the game) or Friday 15th, after the game.

After settling in to the hospitality suite (there were sofas too, just out of shot):

…. you get to head down to see both teams as they arrive at the ground, assuming you get the same day I had:

If you get the same timetable I had, there will be time for another quick drink in the suite, and then down to pitchside to see the players warming up:

When the game kicks off, you can grab a seat outside the box:

You will be allocated a 15 minute slot to watch the game from the bed, which is directly above the box:

(We were told to keep our shoes on, by the way!)

I recorded a short video which gives you a better idea of how it works which you can see in this LinkedIn post.

There was food provided in the box but I believe it will be different for the Hilton Honors redemption day in March, so I’m not showing any images. Hilton is promising a four course meal whilst we got a Hampton Inn-style late morning buffet breakfast.

After the match a couple of the Chelsea FC Women players came up to the suite for a chat. Here’s my 12-year old towering over Sjoeke Nüsken:

We all received bag of Hilton / Chelsea FC merchandise on the way out too.

You can bid for this experience

‘Best Bed At The Bridge’ returns for the game against Arsenal on Friday 15th March. This has changed from the original date of Sunday 17th March.

There are five packages up for auction, each for two people, with a minimum bid of just 100,000 Hilton Honors points. This includes one night in a South Kensington hotel, remember. Each package will include 15 minutes in the bed.

Because of the date change, there are currently only four bids for the five packages available. You could be successful by just bidding the minimum of 100,000 Hilton Honors points.

You can bid here. Bidding ends early tomorrow morning, so bid before heading to bed!

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.

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.
