Concierge lounge
 

Hello

Im trying to figure out Hiltons concierge lounges. Im a Marriott plat that just switched to hilton and am finding conflicting info.

My basic ? Is that i have found some locations offer free beer/wine in the concierge or excutive lounge- examle is Stamford CT Hilton- but others do not, ex, Boston dwntwn, Woburn MA Hiltons.

Do any of you more experinced Honors mbrs have any input?

Also does anyone know if Hilton will status match Marriott?

Thank you.

Most Hilton lounges in the USA charge for alcohol - the only one that I'm familiar with where the alcohol is free would be Salt Lake City (Airport), where they even give drink coupons for the bar on weekends when the lounge itself is closed.

Embassy Suites has alcohol included at their nightly manager's reception (for all paying guests, not just elites) along with chips + salsa and such, while Homewood Suites properties feature a similar (though usually less chaotic) setup Mon- Thurs evenings including beer and wine (usually not bad quality!) and a hot dinner-like item (burgers, lasagne, etc.) also.

Not all Hilton brand properties have dedicated Lounges at present, though that's to be standardized ... sometime in the next year (or so).

Maybe I'm not paying much attention anymore since I stopped drinking beer last year, but it seems Miller Lite / Bud kind of beer is what's on tap at HS. I do drink red wine (for my heart health, ya know! :D), but I'm not a connoisseur to determine if what they're putting in the carafe is out of a box or something halfway decent.

HS Carlsbad has some good beers on tap, and Seattle Hilton has gratis wine/beer...others do as well.

The Homewood in DC was pouring Yeungling.
