Hilton HHonors - Limited drinks in the lounge?

I will stay with two friends in Prague this weekend and as we are there for pleasure we also hope to have some drinks before going to a club...
Is there a limitation on how many drinks we can get or is it okay when we kill the bar? http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

And I was wondering why most U.S. lounges charge for drinks..... http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

Both very good questions. Why do lounges in the US charge for drinks? Because they're CHEAP, that's why. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/tongue.gif

Most lounges in europe provide free drinks http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/thumbsup.gif
More specifically to your question, the Hilton Prague has complimentary drinks in the exec. lounge. When I was there this past October, there was no indication given that there was a limit on the number of drinks. I think you can drink to your heart's content. Presumably if you act obnoxious, they will probably ask you to leave. I recall that one night I was drinking Amaretto and the bottle ran empty. The bartender replaced it with a new one from storage and kept the drinks flowing. Cheers! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/biggrin.gif

mindboggling: he thinks drinks are cheap in usa

er, I think he thinks Americans are cheap! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

What I meant is that Hilton is being cheap (meaning nickel and diming them to death) with its best customers. After experiencing the exec. lounges in Europe, most United States exec. lounges seem much less generous. They provide free drinks to everyone at most Embassy Suites, you'd think they could do the same for their elite customers at full service Hilton properties. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/thumbsdown.gif
