DISCUSSION for Hilton Honors Hotels in India {IND}
I saw a reference to this somewhere else on Flyertalk. The proof can be found on Hilton's website.
6 Cat 1's
1 Cat 3
1 Cat 4
Article on 9 New Hiltons
I tried to post a direct link on hilton's website to search, but that didn't go so well. If U do go search, only 8 show up.

Mumbai/Bombay is Cat 3.
The rest in India are Cat 1.
This is very good. I guess I can now entertain clients on the cheap in India using my hotel points.

This thread refers to Hilton Hotels - I ask the question because I read somewhere that the Taj group of hotels will be affiliated with the HHonors program?

The Trident hotels are B tier hotels of the Oberoi group. B747-347B says many are very good properties.
I am thru my India travelling for awhile, but think this is great. Good Indian hotels are pricey, and this gives us options for some affordable (Category 1) award stays.

Can anyone indicate the name of the Hilton Hotels, in India (is there a web site?) indicating this piece of news?
In addition, is there a web site indicating the link between Oberoi Hotels, and HHonors?

This was the list in the latest email from Hilton:
• Hilton Towers Mumbai
Mumbai, India Opening April 2004!
• Trident Hilton Agra
Agra, India Opening April 2004!
• Trident Hilton Bhubaneswar
Bhubaneswar, India Opening April 2004!
• Trident Hilton Chennai
Chennai, India Opening April 2004!
• Trident Hilton Cochin
Cochin, India Opening April 2004!
• Trident Hilton Gurgaon
Gurgaon, India Opening April 2004!
• Trident Hilton Jaipur
Jaipur, India Opening April 2004!
• Trident Hilton Udaipur
Udaipur, India Opening April 2004!
I am not up on all the revised city names, so a few of these are likely in cities we know by their colonial names. This would mark a retrun to the country, albeit for a short while when Hilton had a property just east of Connaught Place in New Delhi. That hotel is now the InterContinental, and had been a Holiday Inn shortly after it left the Hilton fold. Stayed there a couple of times back in the mid-90s.

As a background on per night rates:
• Hilton Towers Mumbai: US$120-175
• Trident Hilton Agra: US$50-100
• Trident Hilton Bhubaneswar: US$100-250
• Trident Hilton Chennai: US$120-175
• Trident Hilton Cochin: US$80-175
• Trident Hilton Gurgaon (Delhi suburb): Unknown
• Trident Hilton Jaipur: US$120-250
• Trident Hilton Udaipur: US$120-175
Mumbai is Bombay and Chennai is Madras. Some linguistic groups in India are on a name-changing kick. Part of the national/ethnic chauvinism movement there.
