The Hilton Team Member Travel Program, often called “Go Hilton,” stands out as an exceptional perk, offering employees, their friends, and family members incredible discounts on hotel stays worldwide. Widely recognized for its generous savings, this program, known as TMTP, allows eligible participants to enjoy significantly reduced room rates and various benefits when staying at Hilton properties across the globe.
While the program offers substantial advantages, it’s important to understand the specific rules and guidelines that govern its use. The Go Hilton program essentially comprises two distinct offers: one tailored for Hilton Team Members and another for their Friends & Family. Both are designed to provide remarkable value and access to Hilton’s extensive portfolio of hotels.
To take advantage of these exclusive rates, both team members and their authorized friends and family must access the dedicated Go Hilton booking site. Each user needs to log in with their own Hilton Honors credentials to browse, book, and manage their reservations.
This guide provides a comprehensive overview of everything you need to know to maximize the benefits of the Go Hilton program.
Hilton Team Member Exclusive Rates
Specifically crafted for active Hilton team members, this tier of the program delivers the most substantial discounts Hilton offers. If you are an eligible employee, you can anticipate securing dramatically reduced nightly rates at a wide array of Hilton’s premier hotels globally.
Reservations under the Team Member rate must be made through Hilton’s designated Go Hilton Booking Site to access these special offers.

The program spans Hilton’s diverse brand portfolio, from luxury collections like Waldorf Astoria and Conrad Hotels to popular brands such as Hilton Garden Inn and DoubleTree. Each eligible team member can book up to 30 nights per calendar year at these special rates.
Beyond discounted room rates, Team Member benefits often include complimentary breakfast for two outside of the Americas and a significant 50% discount on food and beverage purchases worldwide at participating hotel outlets. Furthermore, team members are exempt from resort or destination fees, while still having access to the amenities these fees typically cover.
Below is a breakdown of the discounted nightly rates by hotel brand within the Team Member program, along with links to check real-time availability.
Go Hilton Eligibility: Who Can Access Team Member Rates?
To qualify for the Go Hilton Team Member rates, you must be an active Hilton team member, including full-time, part-time, and seasonal employees. Additionally, owners who possess 25% or more ownership of a Hilton property are also eligible.
Loyalty to Hilton is further rewarded. Team members with a minimum of 20 years of service continue to enjoy these rates for life. However, it’s important to note that Friends & Family benefits are not extended after leaving Hilton for those with 20+ years of service. Team members with 10 to 20 years of service are eligible for Friends & Family rates for their own use after departing Hilton.
If you don’t meet the direct eligibility criteria, it’s worth checking if your employer offers a Hilton Corporate Code and Discount which can provide alternative savings.

Redeeming Your Team Member Rate
All Team Member rate bookings are exclusively made through the Go Hilton Booking Site.
Once logged in, the portal enables you to book special rates, manage Friends & Family access, and monitor your annual usage of discounted nights.
Important Booking Restrictions for Team Member Rates
Team members can reserve up to two rooms at the Team Member rate and an additional two rooms at the Friends & Family rate per stay, totaling a maximum of four rooms. Each reservation is limited to a maximum of 7 consecutive nights.
The program sets annual limits on discounted room nights: up to 30 nights at Team Member rates and up to 70 room nights under the Friends & Family program per calendar year, providing a generous total of 100 discounted room nights annually.
Tips to Maximize Availability for Team Member Rates
While the discounts are significant, availability at preferred properties can vary. Here are some effective strategies to increase your chances of securing a Team Member rate reservation:
Utilize the Flexible Dates Feature: When initiating your search on the Go Hilton portal, select the “My dates are flexible” option. This will display a calendar view for each hotel, clearly indicating available dates at the discounted rate.
Combine Different Rate Types: If your entire desired stay isn’t available at the Team Member rate, consider booking segments of your stay using different rates to maximize the discounted portion of your trip.
Consider Date Adjustments: Flexibility with your travel dates significantly increases your chances of finding availability. Also, keep checking back as availability can fluctuate, especially within 60 days of your intended arrival.
Hilton Friends & Family Rate: Share the Savings
Even if you are not a Hilton employee, you can still benefit from substantial discounts through the Hilton Friends & Family program. If you know a Hilton team member, they can extend this benefit to you, providing savings of up to 30% off nightly rates at Hilton properties worldwide.

Friends & Family bookings are also managed through the Go Hilton website. The sponsoring Hilton team member must add their chosen friends and family members to their Go Hilton account. Once added, these individuals can create their own Hilton Honors account and log in to the Go Hilton site to make bookings using the Friends & Family rate.
It’s important to note that Friends & Family bookings contribute to the team member’s annual limit of 70 nights, unless the rate booked is designated as “EXTRA.” When available, “EXTRA” rates are preferable for Friends & Family as they do not count towards the team member’s quota.
Friends & Family members can book up to two rooms per stay, with each stay limited to a maximum of seven nights. The team member can monitor the usage of their allocated Friends & Family room nights through their Go Hilton account.
Friends & Family Rate Eligibility
To utilize the Friends & Family rate, individuals must be members of the Hilton Honors program (join here) and be approved by a Hilton team member who is enrolled in the TMTP.
Each Hilton employee can manage Friends & Family access directly within their Go Hilton account, adding approved individuals and tracking the usage against their 70-night annual limit.
Discount Levels for Friends & Family
The Friends & Family discount typically ranges from 30% to 50% off the Best Available Rate or the lowest advertised rate, subject to the hotel’s standard cancellation policy. While a 50% discount may not always be available, the Friends & Family rate consistently offers the most competitive pricing available at Hilton properties.
How to Redeem the Friends & Family Rate
To access the Friends & Family discount, ensure you have an active Hilton Honors account and have been approved by a Hilton team member. Provide your name and Hilton Honors number exactly as they appear on your account to facilitate the approval process.
You can sign up for a Hilton Honors account at HiltonHonors.com/join. Once approved, all bookings are made via the Go Hilton Booking Site.
When searching for rates, the Friends & Family rate will be prominently displayed, usually near the top of the rate options.
Select the “Family and Friends Rate” to proceed. Note that this rate typically applies to standard rooms but offers substantial savings compared to regular rates.
You may also encounter an “Extra” rate, presented similarly to the Friends & Family Rate.
Booking the “Extra” rate is encouraged when available, as these bookings do not count against the team member’s annual quota, while offering the same discount as the standard Friends & Family rate. Hotels typically offer “Extra” rates when they have ample availability.
Enjoy Food and Beverage Discounts
An additional perk for active Hilton Team Members is the Food and Beverage discount. This benefit includes complimentary breakfast for two guests outside of the Americas and a 50% discount on food and beverages consumed at participating hotel restaurants globally.

However, it’s important to verify that the restaurant is directly managed by the hotel to ensure the discount applies. It is advisable to confirm restaurant eligibility with hotel staff.
Additional Program Benefits
The Go Hilton program extends further benefits, including the recognition of Hilton Honors elite status and the accrual of Honors points on discounted stays. This means you can potentially receive room upgrades based on your elite status and earn points towards future rewards even when using the Team Member or Friends & Family rates.
Navigating the Hilton Go Portal: A Booking Guide
Room availability through the Go Hilton program is dynamic. The GO Hilton portal is your central hub for all bookings.
Here’s a step-by-step guide to booking your discounted stays:
- Access the Go Hilton Site: Log in to the Go Hilton site using your Hilton Honors login credentials.
- Explore Destinations and Hotel Types: Browse available destinations or hotel types, noting the rate availability indicators (TMTP, F&F, or EXTRA) displayed in the top right corner of each property listing.
- Select Your Qualifying Rate: Ensure you are booking under the correct rate for which you are eligible (Team Member or Friends & Family).
- Confirm and Book: Proceed to the confirmation page and finalize your booking.
Note: Hotels may offer surplus rooms as “EXTRA” rooms via GO Hilton to friends and family. Bookings made under “EXTRA” rates do not count towards the team member’s annual limit but do earn Hilton Honors points and contribute to tier status.

Upon arrival at the hotel, authorized friends and family members can travel independently of the sponsoring team member when utilizing their Friends & Family rates, provided they have made their own reservations through the Go Hilton booking site using their individual Hilton Honors accounts.
