The Best Hilton Corporate Codes & Discounts

As a seasoned business traveler, I have used Hilton corporate codes for years to get a reduced rate when I stay at Hilton properties. Consultants and sales reps who travel extensively and work with various companies, many of which have negotiated rates with Hilton, commonly use these codes.

Here is everything you need to know!

What are Hilton Corporate Codes?

A Hilton Corporate Code is an alpha-numeric code that identifies a company’s negotiated rate with Hilton. These codes are entered in a special rate field when booking to determine the nightly rate a business has negotiated with Hilton.

You can take advantage of these negotiated rates as long as you are affiliated with the company in some way (employee, customer, vendor). 

Hilton has two types of corporate rates.

1. Business Travel: These discounts are meant to be used for business travel during the week (although they often work for weekend travel as well), and
2. Leisure Travel: These discounts are specifically for an employee’s leisure travel.

We will explain both and provide codes and links you can use.

Discount Codes for Business Travel

Below are some of the most popular Corporate Codes for Hilton.  If you are an employee of one of these companies or will visit them for business, you can take advantage of their negotiated rates and use the code.

The “Acquired Brands” columns represent codes that can be used at DoubleTree, Hampton Inn, Homewood Suites, Embassy Suites, and Home2 Suites. (Hilton acquired these brands from Promus Hotel Corporation in 1999).

The “Hilton Brands” codes are associated with traditional and newer Hilton brands such as Hilton Hotels, Conrad, Tapestry, Tru, Waldorf Astoria, Curio Collection, and Hilton Garden Inn.

After all these years, I can’t tell you why they haven’t consolidated the corporate codes into one code per company, but they haven’t.

The discount provided with these codes will vary from location to location and can be up to 50% off rack rates.

Consulting firms like Accenture, Deloitte, Capgemini, and IBM have many consultants traveling every week, so they are going to have some of the best “chain-wide” or “system-wide” discounts. 

However, many large corporations have many visitors traveling to their locations for meetings. In this situation, you can often get a great rate on hotels in their local headquarters vicinity—such as Proctor and Gamble in Cincinnati, Ford Motor Company in Detroit, or Harley Davidson in Milwaukee.

Hilton also offers an airline employee discount code for employees of any airline. The code for this is “AL”, regardless of the airline you work for.

How to Book with a Hilton Corporate Rate (Business Travel)

You must enter the company’s specific code in the “Corporate Account” box for the corporate rate to apply.  This box can be found when you click on the plus sign in the lower right corner of the booking table, then click on “add special rate codes” to reveal the three special rate code options.

Enter your destination and travel dates, then add the code in the Corporate Account box. Click the “find it” button, and the hotels offering that rate will appear.

As long as you are affiliated with the company in some way (employee, customer, vendor), you can take advantage of your company’s negotiated rate with Hilton and save a lot of money!

An added benefit is that, unlike discounts offered through Online Travel Agents (OTAs), corporate rates allow to save money and Hilton Honors members can receive Hilton Honors Elite Benefits, AND earn Hilton Honors Points.

Hilton Corporate Discounts for Leisure Travel

In addition to the codes Hilton provides for business travel, they also have negotiated discounts with a large group of companies for their employees to use for personal travel. The discounts are not as big as the business rates, but they still offer savings off the generally available rates.

Hilton doesn’t have a special name for these rates, but it is essentially the same concept as Marriott’s Breakaway rates.

The Hilton corporate leisure rates do not have specific codes like the business rates. Rather, each company has its landing page where you can book, and the discount code will be pre-populated.

Below is a list of over 200 companies negotiating leisure rates with Hilton. The links in the table will take you to the company’s leisure discount landing page, which includes the specifics of its program and benefits.

FAQs about Hotel Corporate Codes

What is included with a corporate rate?

Each corporate rate is negotiated separately, so it often includes different inclusions. Some offer just the discounted rate, while others can include free WiFi, shuttle transportation to the office, and flexible cancellation policies.

Will you earn Hilton Honors points?

Yes. Corporate rates are considered “qualified rates” and can earn base points and any bonus points associated with a Hilton promotion.

Yes. As stated in the question above, corporate rates are considered “qualified rates” and are eligible to receive the benefits of your Hilton elite status.
