If you run a business — any size, even just you — Hilton has a program for you. It’s called Hilton for Business, and it quietly launched in early 2024. Think discounted rates, loyalty points for your company, and easier team travel… all without needing to be a big corporate client.
I signed up. Here’s how it works, what I like, and how much it’s actually worth.
Who Can Join?
Pretty much anyone with a Hilton Honors account and a business website or domain. It’s designed for small and medium businesses that don’t already have a big travel deal with Hilton.
You’ll need to provide:
A company email domain (e.g. yourname@yourcompany.com)
A business website
Your mailing address
Setup time? 5–10 minutes tops. I tested it myself—super straightforward.
What You Get (The Real Benefits)
Once you’re in, here’s what your company earns:
✅ 7,500 Hilton Honors Points when any registered employee completes their first stay
✅ 5,000 Points every 10 nights booked under a Hilton for Business rate
✅ Flexible rates — usually cheaper than standard flexible, but cancellable
✅ Booking made simple: just use Hilton.com or the app, no weird portals
✅ A team dashboard: see who’s traveling, what’s booked, and points earned
✅ You (as admin) can transfer company-earned points to any linked employee account
It’s not magic. But it’s the first time small companies can tap into Hilton perks without going through a rep or big travel portal.
How to Sign Up
Login to your Hilton Honors account
Go to Hilton for Business
Enter your business info
Once approved, share your team invite link
Done! Everyone who books using your link and rate earns you bonus points
No tricks, no fees. You don’t lose any personal Hilton benefits either—it’s just a new rate option that helps you double-dip.
My Real-World Take
I checked how it plays out in Germany. Out of 45 Hilton hotels I looked at, 18 actually offer Hilton for Business rates — including Waldorf Astoria, some DoubleTrees, and a bunch of Garden Inns and Hamptons.
I ran a few test bookings. Here’s what I found:
Vs. Flexible Rate → Hilton for Business is typically 2–3% cheaper
Vs. Advance Purchase → Hilton for Business is often 8–12% more expensive
But here’s the kicker: Hilton for Business rates are flexible. You can cancel or change them up to a day before. So you’re paying a small premium for flexibility—and earning company points on top.
If your dates are firm and the advance purchase rate is a lot cheaper? Go with that. But if you want to keep things flexible and earn points for your business, Hilton for Business wins.
Hilton for Business Running Promotion
All Hilton Honors members with accounts linked to Hilton for Business can now earn double night credits for all stays until December 31, 2024.
No additional sign-up is required for this offer; the only requirement is that your Hilton Honors account is linked to the Hilton for Business program. Notably, the double elite night credits apply to both business and leisure stays, making it a great opportunity for members aiming to achieve higher status next year or accumulate rollover nights.
Conclusion
If you or your team travel even a few nights per year, this is a no-brainer. You’re not giving anything up—and your business earns thousands of extra points on stays you’d be booking anyway.
I’ve started comparing the Hilton for Business rate with my usual price checks, and if it’s close? I take it.
Don’t leave points on the table. Try it once. You might be surprised how fast the benefits stack up.
