To celebrate National LGBT Pride Month in June, Hilton Hotels & Resorts is offering a slate of LGBT options and offers, including the relaunch of a newly updated GoOut website.
“Hilton is committed to fulfilling our brand promise of ensuring that every guest feels cared for, valued and respected by setting the stage for LGBT travelers on any travel occasion,” said Rob Palleschi, global head, Hilton Hotels & Resorts. “We launched our Stay Hilton. Go Out. campaign in 2012 because being good stewards of the LGBT community is a top priority for Hilton. Leading the charge on important issues is part of our DNA. It’s why we always look for new ways to authentically connect with LGBT travelers – from sponsoring LGBT festivals to our extensive website re-launch.”
