Hilton's Day Use rate, as the name suggests, allows customers to book a Hilton hotel room just<\/em> for the day.<\/p>\n

This can make sense for a variety of travel scenarios \u2014 from arriving early to your destination well before your usual check-in time to a late departing flight. Or, maybe you just want to explore a new area without the hassle of carrying luggage and important documents around.<\/p>\n

Better yet, manyt Hilton Honors benefits still apply to these stays.<\/p>\n

Here's how it works.<\/p>\n

Booking a Hilton Day Use Rate<\/span><\/h2>\n

While other hotel brands require you to enter a booking code for a day room, Hilton Day Use room bookings requires nothing of the sort. Plus, you don't even need to be logged in to your Hilton Honors account to search for this rate.<\/p>\n

First, select your hotel destination. Then, enter the same<\/em> check-in and check-out date:<\/p>\n

Scroll down to a property that has a Day Use rate listed. Here, we'll use Hilton Tokyo Bay<\/a> as an example:<\/p>\n

You'll see the property lists day rooms as available from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. \u2014 that's when you'll be able to check in and check out. This rate also includes fitness center and indoor pool access.<\/p>\n

Hours vary by property. For example, the Day Use rate at Spark by Hilton Woburn Boston runs from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.:<\/p>\n

Day Use Benefits<\/span><\/h2>\n

Booking a Hilton Day Use rate means you'll still earn Hilton Honors points<\/a>\u00a0just as you would for a traditional overnight stay.<\/p>\n

The typical status multipliers apply:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\t\n\n\t\n\t\n\t
Hotel Brand<\/th>Base Rate
\n(points per $1)<\/th>		Silver
\n(+20%)<\/th>		Gold

LivSmart Studios by Hilton<\/td>3<\/td>3.6<\/td>5.4<\/td>6<\/td>6.6<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n

Plus, putting this spend on co-branded cards<\/a> such as the Hilton Honors American Express Aspire Card<\/a>, which offers 14x Hilton Honors points on Hilton purchases, could further increase your point earnings.<\/p>\n

More importantly, Hilton awards elite night credits on Day Use rates. This can come in handy if you're chasing Hilton Honors status and don't have automatic Diamond status<\/a>, which is a perk of the Hilton Honors American Express Aspire Card<\/a>.<\/p>\n
