How do Hilton treat you as an Elite?

[sudoer]

Very poor showing by Hiltons in the US $25 isn't even enough to get breakfast at most 4*+ places.

I agree $25 isn't enough, but it sounds like they gave that credit as a status bonus in addition to the Amex FHR booking channel perks (inc free breakfast for two)

Waldorf Astoria New Orleans …
Didn't even realise it was a Hilton

As if that wasn’t just too hilarious

On check out , realised it had been $25 per person per day
So we had underspent - darn !

And then this one. OMG.

Full marks for having the backbone to post about this.

Agree… the $25 comes with diamond, AMEX offerings are in addition.

OK, all you mockers!
It was
$100 per stay
+ $50 per day Hilton (3 days)
+ $60 per day (3 days) breakfast credit (Amex Fine Hotels and resorts

We spent $380 all up - about $50 short - yes it hurts

The AMEX benefits are great. The pitiful thing is the diamond $25 credit for breakfast. Which is rubbish. The only thing for that price on the menu at our hotel in Vegas… which was only 3.5 star (it rates itself as 4.5!) was a fried egg on toast and drip coffee.

Property: Conrad London St James
Status: Diamond
Rate: Free Night Certificate
Room booked: King Deluxe Room
Received: King Executive Room with Lounge Access
Amenity: Published benefit
Early check-in / late check-out: Early check-in & Late checkout not required.
Recommend: Yes

Not really a big benefit with the lounge access, as I already had Diamond. No further upgrades were available for the day; a conference was happening over the weekend. I was given a hint that a Diamond Reserve guest had checked in earlier, so the junior suite was probably given to them. Breakfast was available both in the lounge and The Pem (I think).

Being on St James Street, Westminster, along with other major attractions, is a walk away. A few steps away from the Tube as well. Knowledgeable concierge staff with recommendations tailored to what I wanted to see and do.

Property: Hilton Singapore Orchard

Recommend: Yes

Located within the Orchard area compared to Conrad MBS, but did not detract from the overall experience of the stay. Significantly larger executive lounge (and gym) than Conrad St James, and staff within the lounge were constantly moving around to ensure guests were well taken care of, without being overbearing. Observed personal touches (of conversation) to regulars, one guest remarked how they had remembered them from 2 or so years back.

Waldorf Astoria New Orleans booked through platinum amex
Didn't even realise it was a Hilton until he asked for my Hilton Status
Was offered $25 per day hotel credit , on top of $100 Amex bonus
Upgraded to a large suite (inward facing) was very quiet
On check out , realised it had been $25 per person per day
So we had underspent - darn !

Stayed there on a recent trip and the credits were fantastic. Booking solo with my "+1" I got $60USD per day for a breakfast credit, then $50USD for general F&B with Hilton Gold as well as $100USD for the overall stay with FH&R. Not bad getting $320USD worth of credits for 2 nights stay.

After much discussion online, I wasn't expecting an upgrade, as this property is owned by Tortuga Resorts, and most have reported that this resort isn't known for acknowledging Diamond status. So I was surprised to receive more than just a token room upgrade. Being all-inclusive, there were no other tangible Diamond benefits, as food and drink are already included. There is no exec lounge, though Enclave guests have access to a small private lounge. Didn't feel the need to spend time there, as there were more interesting places around the resort to relax or fuel up. Enjoyed spending most days at Chala Sky Bar, which was also an exclusive area for Enclave guests.
