Beginning in mid-April through the end of May, Hilton partnered with American Express to donate up to one million rooms to frontline medical professionals in the U.S.
To date, Hilton Los Angeles Airport has donated 1,194 rooms, with an additional 963 future reservations. The total estimated value is over $320,000.
“This is our way of supporting and honoring those heroes who are literally putting their lives on the line to protect us and serving our community,” said Hilton Los Angeles Airport General Manager Grant Coonley.
Hilton has worked with 10 associations who collectively represent more than 1 million healthcare workers to provide access to the program, designed to support individuals who would otherwise have to spend their own money on accommodations.
“During this crisis, we have seen so many examples of medical professionals working in the most challenging circumstances, sacrificing their own needs for the greater good. They truly are heroes,” said Hilton President and CEO, Christopher J. Nassetta.
