Looking to make Valentine’s Weekend special? Whether you are setting off for a romantic interlude as a couple, ditching romance for a girlfriends’ getaway, celebrating your family, traveling solo or spreading the love to your four-legged friend, you don’t have to look too far for a mid-February escape. Here are 14 ways to share the love this month.&nbsp; <h3>Ignite a Spark</h3> Celebrate a new romance or rekindle long-burning sparks at one of Hilton’s portfolio of hotels, including: <div class="row listicle"> <div class="col-md-7"> <h4>1. Beachy Interludes</h4> Combine getting sun-kissed on a beach with the Florida Keys’ watercolor sunsets and you have the perfect backdrop for romance. At <a href="https://www.hilton.com/en/hotels/kylcuqq-bakers-cay-resort-key-largo/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Baker’s Cay Resort Key Largo, Curio Collection by Hilton</a>, you bring the love and the resort will do the rest with its <a href="https://www.bakerscay.com/offers" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Keys to My Heart package</a>, where the ultimate Valentine’s Day voyage begins. With a two- to three-night stay, guests have the choice of a Coconut Wing Waterfront Room or Premium Suite and receive a private waterfront “bubbles + love” dinner for two, Cupid’s custom turndown amenities of bubbly and sweets, breakfast in bed upon departure and an optional add-on of seaplane arrival or keys flyover tour. </div> <div class="col-md-5"><img src="https://stories-editor.hilton.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Bakers-Cay-View-FPC.jpg" alt="" width="560" height="373" /></div> </div> <h4>2. Mountain Views</h4> February is a perfect time to head to the mountains of Colorado, where you can cozy up together at <a href="https://www.hilton.com/en/hotels/egevcdt-highline-vail/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Highline Vail – a DoubleTree by Hilton</a> mountain resort. Ski or snowboard Vail or Beaver Creek during the day, then sit by a toasty fire at Pivot 62 for après ski before retreating to your warm, welcoming residential-style room with classic ski home touches. <hr /> <h4>3. A Historic Romance</h4> The iconic Chicago hotel, <a href="https://www.hilton.com/en/hotels/chiphhh-palmer-house/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Palmer House, a Hilton Hotel</a>, is built on a love story. Potter Palmer, who helped develop Chicago’s iconic State Street, was introduced by his former business partner, Marshall Field, to Bertha Honoré Palmer, a young socialite. The two began an incredible courtship and to show his love, he gifted her with one of the most extravagant wedding gifts ever – the Palmer House hotel. This Valentine’s Day, <a href="https://www.palmerhousehiltonhotel.com/dibs/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Call Dibs on the Winks &amp; Kisses Package</a>, which includes brownies and rosé to-go from Lockwood Express and a charcuterie board and two cocktails at Lockwood Lobby Bar. <hr /> <h4>4. Starry Skies</h4> February nights are long and ideal for catching the northern lights dancing in the sky. Why not turn your weekend into a romantic jaunt of snow-covered Iceland? The capital city Reykjavik is mere minutes from out-of-this-world landscape. Try swimming in the Blue Lagoon and find yourself mesmerized by geysers, waterfalls and the Aurora Borealis in Þingvellir National Park before returning to the city and its plethora of restaurants with unique delicacies.

Offering a haven to forge new connections and reconnections, at the helm of the hotel is an architecturally impressive, reinvigorated lobby designed by The Rockwell Group. The lobby unfolds under a series of dramatic archways and glowing chandeliers where guests can find intimate places to work, lounge and socialize and is centered around a monolithic carved marble bar with an intricate light installation composed of crystal glass and metal rods. Appearing like a grand jewel, the light installation contrasts and complements the classic architecture comprised of warm wood paneling, stone and soft neutral tones throughout, adding an organic sense of sophistication. The space is designed to reflect the time of day, buzzing in the morning and offering a relaxing and warm environment to unwind with flavorful dishes featuring unique culinary fusions complemented with unexpected cocktail pairings at night.

Hilton Expands California Portfolio with First Signia by Hilton Hotel in the Golden State

<a href="https://stories.hilton.com/trends-report-media">&gt;&gt; Trends Survey Media Kit</a>

Survey Spotlights Increased Travel Demand, Reaffirms Need to Unplug, Recharge and Reconnect

MCLEAN, Va. - With Memorial Day, the unofficial start of summer, just a month away, one reality is clear: Americans are desperate for a vacation and are feeling the effects. According to a recent Hilton survey of U.S. travelers*, more than three in four (76%) respondents experience negative feelings when they go too long without a vacation, with burnout (41%) and boredom (36%) being among the top emotions.

core/column

core/columns

Beyond spotlighting the undesirable impacts of missing vacation, the survey also revealed the reason for the demand. Though respondents report needing a break, more than half (51%) of Americans feel guilty for taking that time off, even as 41% report that relaxation begins as soon as they turn on their “out of office” email response.&nbsp;

Matt Schuyler

"This summer, a record number of people are predicted to emerge from their pandemic bubbles and take much-needed breaks from their everyday lives to recharge, relax and experience the world around them once again."

Chief Brand Officer, Hilton

“Inspired by our 2022 trends report, we conducted a new survey to further illustrate how the events of the last two years have affected traveler preferences and passions," said Matt Schuyler, chief brand officer, Hilton. "We have gained a deeper understanding of what people will be craving this summer travel season – from more time with their four-legged friends to more everything beachfront – and are confident that our 18 award-winning brands are well-positioned to deliver on these new guest preferences.”

The survey, conducted by Wakefield Research, uncovered four key themes:&nbsp;

<strong>Pets will be this summer’s favored travel companions</strong>

Hilton’s <a href="https://stories.hilton.com/trends" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">global trends report&nbsp;showcased</a>&nbsp;that there is a new, important traveler to consider post-pandemic: the family pet. More than half of survey respondents who are pet owners (55%) are planning to travel with their pets this summer. In fact, 58% would prefer to travel with their pet rather than a friend or family member.&nbsp;

To meet this growing demand, as of April 1, 2022, Hilton now offers more than 5,000 pet-friendly hotels globally across its portfolio, including seven pet-friendly brands in the U.S. and Canada - Canopy by Hilton, Embassy Suites by Hilton, Hilton Garden Inn,&nbsp;Hampton by Hilton, Tru by Hilton, Homewood Suites by Hilton and Home2 Suites by Hilton.

core/media-text

<strong>Holistic wellness will be at the forefront of travelers’ minds</strong>

An overwhelming 98% of survey respondents acknowledged they prioritize wellness activities while on vacation. Today, travelers are focusing on their overall well-being and will be looking for experiences beyond access to the spa and gym that focus on connecting the mind, body and spirit – and wellness priorities vary from traveler to traveler. For example, Americans feel mentally refreshed on vacation when they get a feel for the local culture (41%) or turn their phone off and unplug (33%). Women, in particular, are likely to prioritize reconnecting with family and friends (46%), while men are likely to prioritize healthy eating (34%).&nbsp;

Hilton recognizes the importance of holistic wellness as part of the overall guest experience, from check-in to check-out. Hotels&nbsp;are incorporating design elements and introducing amenities that are scientifically designed to create feelings of warmth and relaxation as well as renewed energy and focus – from the floor-to-ceiling windows in meeting and banquet spaces in locations like&nbsp;<a href="https://www.rwlasvegas.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Resorts World Las Vegas</a>&nbsp;to wellness-minded amenities, like teas that prevent elevation sickness at&nbsp;<a href="https://www.hilton.com/en/hotels/bogcchh-hilton-bogota-corferias/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hilton Bogota&nbsp;Corferias</a>.&nbsp;

<strong>Combating burnout, Americans are rethinking their 9-to-5</strong>

While they may be focusing more on wellness, American workers are still not taking time to unplug and recharge from work. More than a quarter (28%) of employed Americans disclosed that, since 2019, they have failed to use all their paid vacation days, with 51% of those respondents admitting it’s because they feel guilty about taking time off.&nbsp;

With the shift from work-life balance to “work from anywhere,” many have goals to integrate fun into their workday. With workers taking advantage of flexible office time or shortened summer Fridays, 40% of respondents will consider their summer a success if they spend a workday in a beach chair instead of an office chair.

<p>.Younger generations are more likely to embrace ‘Bleisure’ travel, with <strong>Gen Z </strong>and <strong>Millennials </strong>much more likely to consider joining a work call in a swimsuit than Boomers.</p>

‘Bleisure’ travel

corpnews-blocks/product-recommend

Hilton is adapting to this new reality of work-life by offering portfolio-wide booking options that integrate both business and leisure, like&nbsp;<a href="https://www.workspacesbyhilton.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">WorkSpaces by Hilton</a>, a work-from-hotel solution for both corporate customers and individuals seeking office space to increase efficiency in their workday. Hotels are answering this need with creative, on-property experiences and packages, such as Wi-Fi blocking jackets to help travelers fully unplug at&nbsp;<a href="https://www.hilton.com/en/hotels/avlcuqq-the-foundry-hotel-asheville/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Foundry Hotel Asheville, Curio Collection by Hilton</a>&nbsp;in Asheville, N.C., or the “<a href="https://www.conradpuntademita.com/offers/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Stay Longer and Work from Paradise</a>” package at&nbsp;<a href="https://www.conradpuntademita.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Conrad Punta de Mita in Mexico</a>.&nbsp;

<strong>The refreshed definition of “Relaxation” is simply “Resorting”</strong>

This summer, people are looking to relax and reconnect with loved ones but want to avoid the hassle of complicated travel planning. According to the survey, 85% of people agree that booking at an all-inclusive resort is the best way to reduce the stress of planning, and more than one third (37%) of respondents feel mentally refreshed on vacation when they don’t have to worry about leaving the resort during their stay.

Whether it’s enjoying a host of outdoor activities at&nbsp;<a href="https://www.hilton.com/en/hotels/iahwrqq-the-woodlands-resort/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Woodlands Resort Curio Collection by Hilton in Texas</a>, savoring a coastal European escape at&nbsp;<a href="https://www.hilton.com/en/hotels/rjkochi-hilton-rijeka-costabella-beach-resort-and-spa/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hilton Rijeka Costabella Beach Resort &amp; Spa</a>&nbsp;or kicking back at overwater bungalows at&nbsp;<a href="https://www.hilton.com/en/hotels/noudidi-doubletree-noumea-ilot-maitre-resort/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">DoubleTree Noumea Ilot Maitre Resort</a>, Hilton offers a range of resorts around the world for travelers looking to indulge.&nbsp;

When it comes to&nbsp;<a href="https://stories.hilton.com/uploads/2022/04/Hilton-All-Inclusive-Fact-Sheet.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">all-inclusive</a>&nbsp;vacations, Hilton is redefining the experience with new world-class resorts. These include the recently-opened&nbsp;<a href="https://www.hilton.com/en/hotels/cunqrhh-hilton-cancun/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hilton Cancun, an All-Inclusive Resort</a>, which blends Mexican heritage and modern sophistication, and the upcoming opening of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.hilton.com/en/hotels/cunhihh-hilton-tulum-riviera-maya-all-inclusive-resort/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hilton Tulum Riviera Maya All-Inclusive Resort</a>, an eco-chic getaway nestled in a secluded bay overlooking white sands and blue waters.
