USA / Hilton ... whole chain going non-smoking? [RUMOR]
Currently in a smoking suite (1 of 7 here) at the Homewood Suites in PHX/Chandler. Aware that they are planning an imminent refurbishment, we checked at the front desk and, yes, once that’s done they will be all non-smoking. Also advised that the No Smoking policy is being rolled out across ALL Hilton chain properties.
Have just checked with the Hawthorn Suites down the street ... they have 3 smoking rooms, and front desk said they’re always full! About to make a reservation there for next January. Goodbye, Hilton. It was nice being HHons Gold while it lasted. :mad: |
I’m not surprised. Given the extra costs involved, going non-smoking is probably the easiest. Plus they get to ding people $200-300 for smoking in rooms. I’m sure there will always be some minor chains that allow smoking for the diehards. |
I have been able to find some HHonors properties in Europe that allow smoking. Once that ends I will turn in my HHonors Amex.

As far as I can tell, this applies only to the USA. If it goes worldwide, I will be turning in my Honors card too.

Well this is gonna suck as I have a smoking room booked at the Hilton Doubletree Tropicana LAS for October :(
That said, double check your reservation at the last minute. A couple of years ago I had a reservation for a smoking room at the Doubletree near the Atlanta Airport. I called about a week beforehand and was told that the hotel had gone completely smoke-free. I canceled my reservation and stayed elsewhere. |

I think the Tropicana may prove to be the exception to the rule -- as it wants as many people as possible in the casino.

I have a couple of reservations for later in the year too. Does anyone have any idea how long this will take to roll out?

Smoking rooms in both the Paradise tower (floor 2) and the Club tower (floor 18). I chose the Club Tower as I wanted a higher floor |
Interesting. So profit is a higher priority than morality. Cool one, Hilton! ;)

*and sorry about the clarity as I took the shots thru the window of room 1880 also, here's what I posted about my experience over in the Hilton forum: https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/30295885-post267.html |
Any updates? I started this thread on front desk rumo[u]r.
The World is making life hard!! |
My room at the Hampton Banning/Beaumont later this month is still showing as smoking.
