British Airways Holiday Booking + Hilton Gold Benefits

I discovered this about Hilton Honour benefits when booking through a 3rd party site.

Does anyone know if I book a Hilton hotel as part of a British Airways Holiday, if I can still benefits such as free breakfast?

I am aware I will not earn points, but the other benefits is a bit vague.

Do BA holidays fit into this: IATA accredited retail travel agent professional (“Travel Agent”) booking through a Hilton Worldwide channel or the following Global Distribution Systems: Amadeus, Apollo/Galileo, Worldspan and SABRE.

Any official direct Hilton Worldwide hotel brand or HHonors website (for example, HHonors.com, Hilton.com, Hampton.com, etc.), Hilton Reservations & Customer Care phone line (1-800-HHonors or local Hilton reservations office), Hilton HHonors or Hilton mobile application, Directly at a hotel in the Hilton Worldwide portfolio, or Through an IATA accredited retail travel agent professional (“Travel Agent”) booking through a Hilton Worldwide channel or the following Global Distribution Systems: Amadeus, Apollo/Galileo, Worldspan and SABRE.

This is strictly a case of YMMV; some hotels honour ancillary benefits (e.g complimentary breakfast & Wi-Fi) even when booked by a third party and some don't. You just have to try your luck - and remember, it does not harm to ask if you get an initial response that is negative.

Just had this exact situation. Booked a 3-day break with BA Holidays as part of their recent Club Europe sale with a stay at a Hilton. On check-in the reception staff were quick to point out that my Diamond benefits didn't apply as it wasn't a direct booking.
