You can access Hilton Honors here . I would only check in on the app IF the room type that you are hoping for (executive?) It’s the price you pay for getting your upgrade at a discount, because if the hotel is full or has no higher-category rooms available, you’ll stay in the room type you originally paid for, at no extra charge.If successful, the cost of your upgrade will be added to your hotel folio for payment upon check-out – and if you’re paying this out of your own pocket rather than billing your company, hotel staff can easily move the expense to a separate folio for separate payment, to keep your travel manager on-side.Last but certainly not least, you can also use Hilton Honors points for a ‘Room Upgrade Reward’ – which, unlike complimentary and eStandby upgrades, can be confirmed and guaranteed from the moment you book rather than at check-in on the day you arrive.It’s a good move to keep up your sleeve if having a better room is important to you, such as for a weekend away with your partner, but we should highlight that Hilton Honors no longer uses fixed reward costs, so you won’t know how many points are needed for your upgrade until These upgrades also aren’t available at every hotel, so you could book a paid stay to discover either that upgrades aren’t available at all, or that upgrades Where offered, you can find the option on the 'view/edit' reservation page on the Hilton website, by following the same initial steps as for an eStandby upgrade.The best way to ensure you stay in a higher room category is, of course, to book that category from the start – either using money or Hilton Honors points for your reservation – but when that’s not possible, an upgrade is your next-best bet for a more memorable stay.Chris Chamberlin is the Associate Editor of Executive Traveller, and lives by the motto that a journey of a thousand miles begins not just with a single step, but also a strong latte, a theatre ticket, and later in the day, a good gin and tonic.Executive Traveller is published by Business Travel Media Pty Ltd, a corporate authorised credit representative (#515763) of MGS FINANCIAL PTY LIMITED (#337568)Signing up with Executive Traveller only takes a second and lets you That's Even if your company’s travel policy will only cover a standard hotel room, there are many ways you can upgrade your stay to better surroundings at hotels like Hilton, Conrad, Waldorf Astoria and DoubleTree: sometimes, even to rooms with full Executive Lounge privileges.Whether you’re a frequent guest at Hilton Worldwide properties, have some Hilton Honors points to burn or don’t mind paying for a better room – at a discount, of course – here’s how to get upgraded.The easiest path to an upgrade is to be a Hilton Honors Gold or Diamond member, as these guests enjoy complimentary upgrades at Hilton, Conrad, Waldorf Astoria, Curio, DoubleTree, Canopy, and Tapestry Collection by Hilton hotels.Gold members normally receive upgrades to “preferred” rooms – the definition of which varies between hotels, but can include those with desirable views or amenities, corner rooms, or rooms on high floors.Upgrades may also be to the next-best room type than the one booked, or to Executive rooms with Executive Lounge access, where daily breakfast, refreshments, snacks, evening drinks and canapés can often be enjoyed.
