How to book a low cost ‘day room’ at a Hilton hotel

With people again being asked to avoid going into their offices if possible, I thought it was worth another look at Hilton’s ‘day rooms’ offering.

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 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 the 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.

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 but are usually in line with what Regus or one of its competitors would charge for an office for a day.  For 17th December in London I found, and this is only a selection:

Hampton London Waterloo – £65

DoubleTree Ealing – £65

DoubleTree Chelsea – £65

Hilton Gatwick – £70 (handy for long layovers)

Hilton Hyde Park – £80

DoubleTree Kings Cross – £85

DoubleTree West End – £89

Waldorf Hilton – £95

Remember that you will earn Hilton Honors points (there is currently a triple base points offer running) and elite night credit too.
