the company announced this week. Hilton's policy diverges from
those of Starwood and Marriott, which offer free premium Wi-Fi only to loyalty program members who book directly through an official company channel—a drawback for guests who book via travel management companies. Complimentary premium Wi-Fi access will begin for HHonors Diamond members in the second quarter of 2015 and for Blue and Silver members in August, according to Hilton. Gold members will continue to have free access.
