Hilton Hotel Finds “Club” Loophole To Deny Diamond Members Lounge Access (opens in new tab)

At the beginning of this year we saw Hilton Honors introduce the new Diamond Reserve tier, which annually requires 80 nights or 40 stays, plus $18,000 in spending. The status comes with all kinds of new perks, including access to ”premium” lounges. The idea is that a select number of hotels and brands didn’t offer regular Diamond members access to executive lounges, but Diamond Reserve members do receive access on a complimentary basis.
