As it seems to be ‘Hilton Season‘ at InsideFlyer at the moment, it seems like a good time to mention ‘Hilton Leisure Escapes Rates’ for the first time.

These are essentially slightly more expensive flexible rates that include a £50.00 (or Euro or Dollar) daily hotel credit. In Europe, Africa and the Middle East the Leisure Escapes rates also include Breakfast.

If you are going to be booking a flexible rate anyway and think you’ll have a few drinks or something to eat at the hotel, it can sometimes make a lot of sense to book a Leisure Escapes Rate.

It’s important to be clear that if you can commit to a non-refundable rate (particularly when there’s a decent sale on, like now), you’re likely to be better off sticking with that.

Examples:

For a random date next week, the Leisure Escapes rate at the Hilton Leeds City Centre is £110,

whereas the cheapest flexible rate with breakfast is £85.00.

In other words, you would be paying £25 for a £50 credit to use at the hotel on food/drinks/spa etc.

The Hilton York works out exactly the same, with the best flexible rate with breakfast costing £119

when the Leisure Escapes rate is £144 – so £25 more for a £50 hotel credit.

Hilton Leisure Escapes rates certainly aren’t always the best option, but they are another useful string to the bow of the savvy traveller!
