Hilton India's Great Indian Travel Deal
Hilton recently announced the Triple your Trip promotion for the August-October 2014 period. What they haven't publicly announced, however, is an India-focussed promotion called The Great India Travel Deal.
That could be explained by the possible reasoning, that this promotion is run jointly by the Hilton India properties (or the Hilton Premium Club), as opposed to by Hilton Worldwide. Nonetheless, some of the deals here are pretty good, and worth checking out. Some of the benefits under this promotion are:
The offer is valid on bookings till 1 October 2014, and for stays until 6 October 2014. Pre-existing bookings won't be entitled to this offer, though. So if you've got an existing booking that's cancellable, it is worth considering cancelling that booking and re-booking under this promotion.
Some of the rates that I find quite good are at DoubleTree Goa which has rates starting Rs 4200 after the middle of August 2014, and Hilton Shillim (spa resort) which starts at around Rs 16,400, again after mid-August 2014. In particular, compare Hilton Shillim with a normative rate of around Rs 22,000 a night, and it immediately strikes me as a great deal!
A word of caution: The last line of the T&Cs suggests that stays under these bookings may not be eligible for earning HHonors points, though in my previous experience, I've always been able to earn points even for bookings with Hilton India under similar offers. Here are the full T&Cs:
