Hilton HHonors - What constitutes a "child" in the world of Hilton?

I was in the process of writing a "rave" review for Tripadvisor about a European Hilton (Toledo, Spain) where I recently stayed with my daughter, who is 12.

For 45 euros over the advance purchase rate (and 30 or 35 euros over the regular rate) we were able to get a breakfast and dinner special, which included a fixed-price dinner which would have cost 70 euros for the two of us plus breakfast. I'm a lowly silver, so for me this was a great deal.

Anyway, I was double checking the rates, and I found that if two "adults" had tried to purchase it, not only would the room have cost more, but the breakfast and dinner special would have been substantially more expensive, too.

There was never any question about my daughter ordering off anything but the adult menu, so I'm just curious as to what constitutes a "child" for Hilton pricing purposes. Is it under 18, under 14, 13, or what?

(Aside from the great deal on the dinner special, the Toledo, Spain Hilton was very nice).

What. It will vary by property, with some likely consistency by country. Happy to learn you had a great visit.

It depends on the hotel, but usually on the reservation website it will say what age they consider an adult to be. In the case of the Hilton Buenavista Toledo, it says 18+. I would then assume up to 17 they would still be counted as a child.

I didn't see where the Buenavista Toledo website defined it. In any event, they clearly offer a great deal for a parent and child traveling together. No so good for two adults!
