So my first stay at a Hilton is as a Gold (thanks DJ!) at HoTP, Melbourne. Got upgraded to Exec floor.

As it's just me on my own tonight, I felt completely lost going into the Exec Lounge. Pretended I was looking for someone and walked out! lol

So my question; what's the go in there? I couldn't see a bar or anything when I walked in. Do you sit down and they come and take your order? Or did I not look far enough 'round the corner?

Any help much appreciated from this HH Noob! :)
 
Walk around the corner to the right.
Treat it like an airport lounge, help yourself and sit down.
 
There's a cabinet at the end of the food area where you can get soft drinks all the time and wine at the drinking hours. If you're seated there, anywhere you want, the host will ask you if you want other types of drinks.

Go in and enjoy you never know who you'll see.

Relax & enjoy the ambience! All else failing, go to the local up the road!
 
Why not go back in tonight before 8.30pm, and give it another go? Drinks & canapes from 6.00pm to 8.30pm from memory. After that it's soft drinks, coffee, tea self serve. There's one computer to check emails, etc.
 
Don't feel embarrased...a lot of people are in a similar situation on their own.

Just walk in (whatever time of day you're there)...grab a drink, see if there is any snacks...pick a chair and relax. Usually newspapers and magazines to read as well as computer use (if you don't have your own)
 
A thank you to all. I had to go out to another thing during canapé time but heading back there now; will check it out. Thanks for the advice.
 
Just grab a seat and relax. Don't worry if there is anyone there or not :)

Remember that the bar is only open for approx 6:00 - 8:30 pm time period.
