The ORD Hilton has no lounge, so Gold/Diamond members are given vouchers for breakfast in the hotel restaurant. Sometimes, though, you have to ask for them, as the front desk may not automatically offer them at check-in.
My votes:
(1) Rainbow Lanai at HHV - -- especially since the breakfast vouchers given to Gold/Diamond members at check-in (in lieu of a lounge) may be used to upgrade to the hot/cold buffet at the Rainbow.
(2) Budapest Hilton-Castle Hill - - - the lounge buffet is outstanding, though it is wise to arrive early, as seating is limited.
