Hilton turns up the clock
The normal hours for check-in and check out are noon and 4 p.m. but are a growing number of hotels such as the Hilton Orlando extending that window?
The Hilton says those normal hours only amount to a 20-hour day. The hotel is starting what it calls a 30-hour day.
“Taking into consideration the 15,000-square-feet of spa and fitness space, full-service salon, 7,000-square-foot main pool, quiet pool, lazy river, top-notch dining options and convenient location to all the popular area attractions, the Hilton Orlando realized it was time to break with tradition,” said the hotel in a press release.
To do so, on weekends, they have a new package that offers a 10 a.m. check-in time for the first day and a 4 p.m. check-out time for the second day, resulting in a 30-hour day.
“Since opening nearly a year ago, guests have often commented there is far too much to do and see in a given day,” said Hilton Orlando General Manager Doug Gehret.
The Hilton Orlando is central to all of the major Orlando attractions including SeaWorld® Orlando, Universal Studios Florida® and Walt Disney World® Resort theme parks. Guests will be able to explore all that the city of Orlando has to offer with art, theatre, museums, shopping, and dining at their fingertips.
The 30-Hour Day Package is valid for one-night stays on Fridays and Saturdays, subject to availability.
Accommodations include1,400 guestrooms, including 53 suites. In-room amenities include the Hilton’s Serenity BedTM, in-room refrigerators, Cuisinart dual-cup single-brew coffee maker, desk area with nesting table and Herman Miller ergonomic chair, programmable safes and large 37” LCD TVs.
