Traveling means busy days filled with exploring, meetings, sightseeing, and new memories. After long days of activity, finding a welcoming place to relax and refuel is important. That’s why at Embassy Suites by Hilton, all guests are treated to a complimentary Evening Reception each day as the sun starts to dip.

With nearly 270 hotels around the world, travelers can wander through the open-air atrium and to the inviting bar area for 90 minutes of complimentary beverages and appetizers that are sure to help unwind from the day or start the night off on the right foot.

Unbeatable Vibes

Embassy Suites’ Evening Receptions serve as a social hub where families swap stories, friends toast to vacation, and business travelers connect outside the boardroom. The atmosphere is laid back, with no dress code or reservations required, allowing guests to simply show up and enjoy.

For those seeking space for groups, meetings, or even family gatherings, some hotels even offer reserved spaces during the reception. When booking, groups should ask the hotel team about setting aside a comfy corner for the crew to gather.

Drinks for Every Taste

Sipping and savoring are always on the menu, with hotels offering a curated menu of refreshing beverages that range from craft beer to wine and classic cocktails and mocktails. Each guest (aged 21 and up) gets two free drinks per night during the Evening Reception hours, with some locations even shaking things up with specialty drinks inspired by the local atmosphere or season. That means guests can enjoy everything from tropical cocktails at the beach to a signature sangria in wine country.

But these evening receptions aren’t just for the grown-ups! Kids will find plenty for them here as well. A full lineup of soft drinks, juices, and spirit-free beverages helps ensure there’s always something refreshing on tap for every traveler and tastebud.

Notable Noshes

Embassy Suites knows that happy hour isn’t complete without something tasty to munch on. The spread varies by location, but guests can expect a buffet of light bites ranging from chips and salsa to veggie trays, popcorn, pretzels, and more. This self-serve selection provides the perfect appetizer for an evening spent with travel companions or newfound friends.

Best of all, these evening snacks add to the already robust food offerings at Embassy Suites, with hotels also featuring a free made-to-order breakfast every morning and onsite, full-service restaurant. So, from dawn until dusk, Hilton is helping keep guests’ hunger at bay.

The Happiest Hour (and a Half)

Free drinks and appetizers every night? That’s a travel win.  And for those who want to keep the night going, the bar area remains open after the Evening Reception ends, ensuring the good vibes continue.

But these Evening Receptions are about more than just the complimentary offerings. They also serve as a moment to slow down and feel at ease, savor the occasion and those around you, and make every stay feel special. It’s no wonder that, with upscale accommodations, including spacious two-room suites, and all the amenities you need, Embassy Suites is the kind of place that travelers are eager to return to time and time again.

At Embassy Suites, the stay is just as important as the destination. Here, travelers find a comfortable home away from home in which they can raise a glass, savor the snacks, and let the good times roll.
