If you have two separate one night bookings with a confirmed rate surely there is no way they could adjust the rate up just because you choose to give them more of your business?

I'm a recent refugee from IHG, where (for all the faults of its creaky IT) at least the pricing for multi-night stays is (generally) a transparent average of nightly rates.

The Hilton way seems ..... odd But good to know about it, and to know we can work around the oddness.

No real downside to booking separately, I do it all the time if it's cheaper. Just let the front desk know at check in that you have a different reservation for the following night and are not really checking out tomorrow.
Thanks for the reassurance!

My concern was on the lines of hidden city ticketing on airlines. The hotel is specifically marketing the multi-night stay at a rate different to the one you are paying under multiple separate night bookings.

I'd seen a default to the highest nightly rate across all nights of a multi-night booking. But in this case the rate for the multi-night booking was higher than any of the individual nights.
