Hilton reopens hotels in England as hospitality curbs lifted

Hilton is reopening hotels across England today for the first time in months as Covid travel restrictions are lifted.

The group described the day as marking “a significant milestone” in the hospitality industry’s recovery from the pandemic.

Top destinations for the summer include Brighton, Edinburgh, Bournemouth and Bath.

Searches for London stays have increased by 20% week-on-week, as travellers look to book weekends away in the capital again.
