How do Hilton treat you as an Elite?

This is a result of their massive “enhancements”, like QF. I remembered when they were newly opened, I received the suites at almost every stay, plus they give you two coughtail vouchers every night which you can order any coughtails on their menu on top of snacks and drinks in the room (hope that’s still on offer?). Good old days.
The initial feedback 3-4 years ago from “select” AFF members in the know and connected to the right people who received suite upgrades and all reported back here to praise the property ad nauseum seemed all too convenient for my liking.

But good luck to them. Never turn down a free upgrade!
 
Hilton Vienna Park...booked cheapest room for 1 guest (cheaper) but 2 of us staying. Upgraded to Park /Cathredal View Junior Suite. Late 3 pm checkout. Choice of breakfast in restaurant (too busy) or Exec lounge. Happy hour 6-8 pm.
Very nice property since renovation completed in 2020 :)

PS: Priority checkin for Gold / Diamond allowed us to jump a long checkin Q ;)

Thanks for the review. I stayed there a couple of times pre-Reno and thought it was a solid 4 star with attractive pricing considering the alternatives along the ring road and decent location.

I’ve since stayed at the Hilton Plaza (other end of the ring road) and enjoyed that much more. But if the renovation is as good as it looks I’ll give Park another go when I visit Vienna later this year.
 
And surprising, this morning, we were at Glass and was told we could have the hot food, egg station etc, but barista coffee is $5. So we got full breakfast!

In better news though, in Hilton Sydney tonight, originally booked deluxe room and was upgraded to executive which is not really an upgrade since diamonds get executive lounge and breakfast anyway. Saw the rates dropped the day before and booked a deluxe corner instead. Jumped on chat and asked if I could get junior suite and was immediately granted the request. Nice room!
