The “Go Hilton” Team Member program 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, often referred to as TMTP, unlocks significantly reduced room rates and various benefits across Hilton’s extensive portfolio of properties.
For those eligible, the Go Hilton program presents a gateway to affordable travel, but it’s important to understand the guidelines and conditions that govern it. The program is structured into two distinct offers: one tailored for Hilton team members and another extending benefits to their designated friends and family. Both avenues provide substantial value and access to discounted rates across a diverse range of Hilton 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 individual Hilton Honors credentials to book and manage their reservations.
Here’s a comprehensive guide to understanding everything you need to know about the Go Hilton program and how “Go Hilton Family And Friends” can enhance your travel experiences.
Understanding Go Hilton Team Member Rates
The Hilton Team Member program is exclusively for active Hilton employees and provides the most significant discounts Hilton offers. If you’re an eligible employee, you can anticipate remarkable savings on nightly stays at many of Hilton’s premier properties globally.
Reservations under the Team Member program must be made through the official Go Hilton Booking Site, ensuring access to these special rates.

The program encompasses a wide spectrum of Hilton brands, from luxury collections like Waldorf Astoria and Conrad Hotels to well-known names such as Hilton Garden Inn and DoubleTree. Each team member can book up to 30 nights per calendar year at these discounted rates.
Furthermore, Team Member rates include complimentary breakfast for two outside of the Americas, and a 50% discount on food and beverage purchases worldwide at participating hotel restaurants. Importantly, employees are exempt from resort or destination fees, while still having access to the amenities covered by these charges.
The following table outlines the discounted nightly rates by hotel brand, along with links to check availability on the Go Hilton portal.
Who Qualifies for Go Hilton Team Member Rates?
Eligibility for the Go Hilton Team Member program extends to current Hilton team members, including full-time, part-time, and seasonal employees, as well as owner club members who possess 25% or more ownership of a Hilton property.
Loyalty to Hilton is also rewarded; team members with a minimum of 20 years of service remain eligible for these rates for life, although they cannot extend Friends & Family benefits after leaving Hilton. Those with 10 to 20 years of service maintain eligibility for Friends & Family rates for personal use after their tenure.
If you do not meet the above criteria, you might still benefit from corporate discounts; check if your employer offers a Hilton Corporate Code and Discount.

Redeeming Your Team Member Rate:
All bookings must be processed through the dedicated Go Hilton Booking Site.
Once logged in, the portal enables you to book special rates, manage your account, add family and friends to your list, and monitor your annual usage of discounted rates.
Booking Restrictions for Team Members
Team members can book up to two rooms at Team Member rates and an additional two rooms at Family & Friends rates, totaling a maximum of four rooms per stay. Each reservation is limited to a maximum of 7 consecutive nights.
While the program is generous, there are annual limits: up to 30 nights at Team Member rates and up to 70 room nights using Family & Friends rates per calendar year, providing a combined total of 100 discounted room nights annually.
Tips for Maximizing Availability
While the discounts are substantial, availability can vary. Here are some strategies to improve your chances of securing a reservation:
Utilize the Flexible Dates Feature: When initiating your search, select the ‘My dates are flexible’ option. This will present a calendar view, clearly showing available dates for your chosen hotel(s) at the discounted rate.
Combine Different Rates: If your entire stay isn’t available at the discounted rate, consider booking separate reservations for different days. This approach can help maximize the number of nights you receive the discount.
Consider Adjusting Your Travel Dates: If you encounter limited availability, explore alternative dates. Booking well in advance and being flexible with your travel schedule can also increase your chances. It’s also worth checking again closer to your travel dates, as availability can sometimes open up within 60 days of arrival.
Sharing the Savings: Go Hilton Friends and Family Rate
Even if you are not a Hilton employee, you can still benefit from incredible discounts through the Go Hilton Family & Friends program. If you know a Hilton team member, they can extend benefits to you, providing discounts of up to 30% off the nightly price at participating properties worldwide.

To access these benefits, friends and family need to be added to the team member’s account on the Go Hilton website. Once added, they can book stays using their own Hilton Honors account credentials.
It’s important to note that bookings made by friends and family under these rates count towards the team member’s annual limit of 70 nights, except for rates designated as “EXTRA”. Whenever possible, friends and family should prioritize booking “EXTRA” rates, as these do not contribute to the annual quota.
For each stay, friends and family can reserve up to two rooms for a maximum of seven nights each. Team members can monitor the usage of their Friends & Family room nights through their Go Hilton account.
Who is Eligible for Friends and Family Rates?
Anyone who is a member of the Hilton Honors program (click here to join) and is approved by a Hilton team member registered for the TMTP can access Friends & Family rates.
Hilton employees can easily add friends or family members through their Go Hilton account and track usage, as each night booked counts towards the 70-night yearly limit (excluding EXTRA rates).
Discounted Rate for Friends and Family:
The 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 50% discounts may be less frequent, the rates are consistently the most affordable available.
Redeeming Your Friends and Family Rate:
To take advantage of these discounts, 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 for successful approval.
You can sign up for a Hilton Honors account at HiltonHonors.com/join. Once approved, all reservations are made through the Go Hilton Booking Site.
When searching for hotels and viewing rates, the “Family and Friends Rate” will be prominently displayed, usually near the top of the rate options.
Select this “Family and Friends Rate” to proceed with booking. Note that this rate typically applies to standard rooms and offers savings of up to 50% off the standard nightly rate.
You may also encounter an “Extra” rate, displayed similarly to the Family and Friends Rate.
If available, the “Extra” rate is the preferred option as it does not count towards the team member’s yearly quota, offering the same discount as the standard Family and Friends rate and is offered when hotels have additional room availability.
Food and Beverage Discount for Team Members
An additional benefit for active Hilton Team Members is a food and beverage discount, enhancing the value of the reduced room rates. Team members can enjoy complimentary breakfast for two (outside of the Americas) and a 50% discount on food and beverages at participating hotel restaurants globally.

However, it’s important to verify that the restaurant is under the same management as the hotel to ensure the discount applies.
Additional Benefits of Go Hilton
The Go Hilton program also extends standard Hilton Honors benefits, meaning you can earn points and enjoy elite status benefits on your discounted stays. This includes potential room upgrades and accumulating points towards future rewards, adding even more value to the program.
How to Use the Hilton Go Portal for Booking
Room availability can fluctuate, so using the GO Hilton portal effectively is key to finding and booking your discounted stays.
Here’s a step-by-step guide to booking through the portal:
- Log in to the Go Hilton site using your Hilton Honors login details.
- Browse destinations or hotel types, noting the rate availability (TMTP, F&F, or EXTRA) indicated in the top right corner of each property listing.
- Ensure you are booking under the correct rate for which you are eligible.
- Proceed to confirmation and finalize your booking!
Note: Hotels may offer surplus rooms as “EXTRA” rates on GO Hilton to friends and family. These “EXTRA” bookings do not count towards the team member’s annual limit but do earn Hilton Honors points and tier status.
Conclusion: Maximize Your Travel with Go Hilton Family and Friends
Both the Team Member and Friends & Family rates within the Hilton Team Member Travel Program provide exceptional savings and represent a valuable benefit. For Hilton employees, these perks are a fantastic reward. For friends and family, they offer an unparalleled opportunity to experience Hilton hospitality at significantly reduced costs.

Importantly, friends and family can travel independently of the authorizing team member when using their own Family & Friends rates, provided they make their own reservations through the Go Hilton booking site using their personal Hilton Honors accounts.
Even accessing the “EXTRA” friends and family deals can result in substantial savings, often as much as 50% off the Best Available Rate.
