Hilton has a great employee discount program for hotel stays. With the "Go Hilton" team member discount, Hilton offers it's employees (known as "team members"), as well as their family and friends, one of the best discount programs in the industry.

To qualify for this program, you just have to be a current Hilton "team member" or owners club member.

A "team member" includes all regular full-time, part-time staff and seasonal staff, as long as they are actually employed by Hilton and/or the hotel and work a regular schedule.
An owners club member is someone who owns 25% or more of a Hilton property.

The Hilton Team Member Travel Program ("TMTP")

The "Go Hilton" Program offers team members deeply discounted, fixed room rates at Hilton properties. The rates vary by brand, as follows:

$35 USD for Hampton, Hilton Garden Inn, Homewood Suites, Home2 Suites and Tru by Hilton
$45 USD for Hilton Hotels & Resorts, DoubleTree, Embassy Suites and Tapestry
$55 USD for Curio, Canopy and Hilton Grand Vacations
$75 USD for Waldorf Astoria and Conrad

This is a great way to book a group vacation since you can book up to four discounted rooms per stay. According to Hilton's policy, team members may reserve up to two rooms with the team member discounted rate and up to two more rooms with the Family & Friends rate, for a total of up to four rooms per stay. The rooms can be booked for up to 7 consecutive nights at a given property.

The program is also very generous in terms of how many discounted nights a team member can book annually. You can book up to 30 nights per calendar year with a team member rate and up to 70 room nights per calendar year with the Family & Friends rates, for a total of 100 room nights per calendar year.

The Hilton Team Member ("TMTP") Friends and Family Rate

In addition to the "Go Hilton" Team Member rate that's available to Hilton employees, Hilton also offers a discounted Friends and Family rate so you can extend your benefits to the people you are closest to.

To be eligible for the Hilton Friends and Family rate you'll need to have an active Hilton Honors account and be referred by a Hilton employee. The employee will have to add you to his/her eligible friends and family list so you'll need to provide them with your Hilton Honors number and name, as it appears on your account.

Note: Make sure to give them your information exactly as it appears on your account or the approval will not go through, so make sure to double check you supply the correct information.

After the friends and family members have been added to the team member's list, they will be able to book the Family & Friends rates themselves on the "Go Hilton" booking site up to 1 year in advance of their planned stay.

The Family & Friends rate is 50% off the Hilton's Best Available Rate, which is Hilton's lowest advertised rate and is subject to the hotel's standard cancellation policies. Approved Family & Friends can reserve up to two rooms with the Family & Friends rate per hotel stay for up to seven nights.

If your family member and/or friends don't have a Hilton Honors account yet, they can sign up at HiltonHonors.com/join.

What are "Extra" Team Member Rates and "Extra" Family & Friends Rates?

"Extra" discounted rates are offered at the discretion of a given property based on the current business climate and their reservation needs. They aren't discounted quite as much as the traditional Team Member or Family & Friends rates, but the good news is that they don't count against your annual night limit, so if the rate is good, and you plan on "maxing out" your team member nights throughout the year, you may want to consider booking these rates first.

The rates will show up on the reservation search results as "EXTRA TEAM MEMBER" or "EXTRA FAMILY-FRIENDS". These are great rates, but they are harder to find, especially at popular destinations.

The "Go Hilton" Long Tenure Travel Program

Not only does Hilton offer these great rates to current employees, but you can also get a discount if you worked for Hilton for over 10 years but are no longer an active employee.

The Go Hilton Long Tenure Travel Program has two tiers:

Team Members who worked for Hilton for 10-20 years. These former Hilton employees have access to Friends and Family rates for up to 70 nights per year, for life.
Team Members who worked for Hilton for over 20 years. These former Hilton employees have access to Go Hilton Team Member rates for up to 30 nights per year and Friends & Family rates for up to 70 nights per year, for life.

These rates are only available to the former Hilton team member. They cannot be passed on to their family or friends.

Team members can also receive discounts when dining on property. This discount is not tied to the room rate and gives team members a 50% discount on food and beverage on property.

However, there is one small caveat to check out before you bank on that 50% food and beverage discount. It only applies to restaurants that are under the same management as the hotel, so double check and make sure before you splurge on that dinner. Also, this only applies when you are staying at the hotel with a team member rate.

Do Elite Benefits apply with the "Go Hilton" Rate?

Another great feature of the team member program is that they honor elite status and honors points. Meaning, you can also potentially get a nice upgrade and earn a bunch of points with your discounted rate!

Tips for Finding Hilton Team Member Travel "TMTP" Rates

Here are some tips to consider when booking Hilton TMTP rates. You may not get the exact dates that you want, but using these tips will help you get a great "Go Hilton" rate at a great hotel or resort.

Use the Flexible Dates Feature

Go to the Go Hilton Portal and search for a one night stay, then click the 'My dates are flexible' box. This will let you see TMTP rate availability each day in a calendar view for the hotel where you want to stay. By searching for just 1 night on the flexible search feature, you will find each night that offers the rate.

By contrast, if you were to search for a 3 night stay and only 2 of the nights offered the rate, the search would come back as not available.

Mix and Match Rates

By using the flexible dates feature, you may find that the Go Hilton TMTP rate is available on 3 of the 5 nights of your planned trip. If this is the case, make separate bookings. One reservation with the nights the TMTP rate is available and another booking at the best available rate or maybe a friends and family rate. Even though you won't get the rate for your entire trip, the savings will still be huge!

Be Flexible With Your Travel Dates

This may be tough if you are not a "planner", but try to book your room as far out as possible to take advantage of all potential availability.

If you don't find availability at the hotel you are looking for, keep checking. "Go Hilton" rate availability is based on each properties forecasted occupancy, which can change frequently. The room may not be available today, but in another month or two that could change.

Important Terms & Conditions for Hilton Team Member ("TMTP") Rates:

You must behave yourself when staying with these rates or you could be fired. Hilton terms state that bad behavior when staying under these rates could result in loss of the benefit or potentially even being fired.

The Hilton team member will have to be present at check-in and for the entire stay to receive the "Go Hilton" Team Member rates. No one else can use Team Member rates, but they can use the friends and family rate.

Annual Night Terms & Conditions

"Go Hilton" Code of Conduct

If you want to take advantage of these rates, you need to be on your best behavior. Here is the Hilton Code of Conduct Policy, as stated on Hilton's website. This should be very easy to adhere to:

"Eligible participants traveling under the Go Hilton travel programs are bound to the Hilton Code of Conduct. Eligible Participants are expected to embody Hilton Values and uphold the exceptional reputation of Hilton during every stay at member properties. Eligible Participants will be held accountable for any undue duress placed on the hosting property. Behavior inconsistent with program rules and our HILTON Values may result in loss of these privileges and disciplinary action, up to and including termination. Family and Friends of Eligible Participants who use the Family & Friends Travel Program are also a reflection of the Eligible Participant. Any inappropriate behavior by Family and Friends may also result in loss of these privileges for the family/friend and the Eligible Participant."

Frequently asked Questions

Which hotels honor the Hilton Go Program Rate?

As the employee, the rate is eligible to be used at any Hilton property globally, with the exception of the hotel you are employed with. However, your friends and family can book the friends and family rate at any hotel. This assumes the rates are available, and they generally are if the hotel has less than 90% occupancy.

How do I make, change or cancel a reservation with a "Go Hilton" rate?

Fundamentally, it's really no different than with any reservation. Just log into the "Go Hilton" home page with your Hilton Honors login information to manage your reservations. The biggest difference from a regular reservation is that this must be done on the "Go Hilton" page, not your normal Hilton Honors account.

Can you contact the main Hilton customer support line to cancel or change a reservation?

Unfortunately, the answer is no. The Hilton Reservations & Customer Care center cannot assist with reservations for Hilton Team Member rates or Family & Friends rates.

What is the Hilton Go Telephone number & Help Desk?

There is a customer support line, however, these representatives cannot book, modify or cancel Go Hilton reservations. Any changes you want to make have to be done through the Go Hilton booking web site.
Inside the United States and Canada (toll-free): +1-800-548-8690
Outside the United States and Canada (not a toll-free call): +1-800-449-4155

What other hotels offer employee rates?

All of the major hotel chains offer some level of discount or free travel to employees and their family members. Hyatt has the best employee discount program of all the major hotel chains because they give you 12 completely free nights at any Hyatt property in the world, every year. Marriott has "The Marriott Explore Rate" which is similar to the "Go Hilton" Team Member Rate and the IHG Employee Rate because employees are provided with a deeply discounted nightly rate. These are a great perk for hotel employees and team members who work very hard every day and should be able to enjoy discounted trips to some great properties as well.

What does TMTP stand for?

"TMTP" is the acronym / abbreviation for the Hilton Team Member Travel Program.

What is Thrive at Hilton?

"Thrive at Hilton" is Hilton's philosophy for their team members that if they are at their best personally and professionally, they will give their guests the best experience they can have. This includes access to learning and career development opportunities, a flexible work environment, or industry-leading benefits (like the Team Member Travel Program).
