Hilton fans looking to escape from the scorching summer temperatures can avail of a host of discounted bundles through its Personalised Online Group (POG) web portals, at Hilton hotels across the UAE and Oman.

Guy Epsom, Regional Director of Sales and Marketing for Hilton Hotels, Arabian Peninsula & Indian Ocean, said:

"Booking through our POG system was earlier a privilege offered only to our corporate customers. Following its phenomenal success, we have extended the ease of online booking to individual leisure customers for our fabulous summer promotions. Some 20% of our bookings in this region are made online and this percentage is growing steadily. POG's have shown great results in accelerating both our online as well as repeat business."


Running throughout the summer until end of August, holidaymakers can enjoy enticing weekend packages in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Al Ain, Fujairah and Ras Al Khaimah. The fantastic benefits of free room-upgrades and complimentary massages leave holidaymakers spoilt for choice.
