Multi-Brand Hotels Earn Highest Loyalty/Rewards Program Satisfaction in J.D Multi-Brand Hotels Earn Highest Loyalty/Rewards Program Satisfaction in J.D. Power Report Hilton HHonors and Marriott Rewards Rank Highest in a Tie in Overall Customer Satisfaction with Hotel Loyalty/Rewards Programs COSTA MESA, Calif.: 7 April 2016 — As the competition among hotel loyalty/rewards programs continues to heat up, hotel chains having multiple brands, wide distribution networks and diverse partnerships demonstrate distinct advantages in satisfying their members, according to the J.D. Power 2016 Hotel Loyalty/Rewards Program Satisfaction Report,SM released today. The report measures customer satisfaction by examining six factors (in order of importance): account maintenance/management (23%); ease of redeeming points/miles (22%); ease of earning points/miles (18%); variety of benefits (16%); reward program terms (16%); and customer service (5%). Satisfaction is measured on a 1,000-point scale. Overall satisfaction with hotel loyalty/rewards programs improves to 711 in 2016 from 701 in 2015. Among the highest-ranked brands in the report, satisfaction with their loyalty/rewards programs is influenced by ease of earning and redeeming points, a diverse partnership network and multiple hotel brands. The ability for a customer to accumulate points and easily redeem them for one of many locations or an upscale property is highly satisfying—and it is a competitive differentiator among loyalty/rewards programs. “Members of hotel loyalty/rewards programs see great value in their program of choice, and they are highly satisfied when they can easily earn and redeem points to select preferred locations in various locations,” said Rick Garlick, global travel and hospitality practice lead at J.D. Power. “Programs with hotels offering multiple brands, partnerships and locations have a strong competitive advantage. However, once customers arrive at a location, their actual hotel experience plays an important role in the overall experience with their program. Loyalty/rewards program administrators need to keep this in mind while exploring opportunities to create innovative customer centric perks.” Report Rankings Hilton HHonors1 and Marriott Rewards2 rank highest in a tie among hotel loyalty/rewards programs, with an overall satisfaction score of 741 each. Satisfaction with Hilton HHonors improves by 14 points and Marriott Rewards increases significantly by 24 points. This is also the second consecutive year Hilton HHonors ranks highest in this report. 1 Hilton HHonors is the rewards program for Hilton Worldwide, which represents the following hotel brands: Conrad Hotels & Resorts; Canopy by Hilton; Curio Collection by Hilton; DoubleTree by Hilton; Embassy Suites by Hilton; Hampton by Hilton; Hampton Inn & Suites; Hilton Garden Inn; Hilton Grand Vacations; Hilton Hotels & Resorts; Home2 Suites by Hilton; Homewood Suites by Hilton; Tru by Hilton; and Waldorf Astoria Hotels & Resorts. 2 Marriott Rewards is the rewards program for Marriott International, which represents the following hotel brands: AC Hotels; Autograph Collection Hotels; Courtyard; Delta Hotels & Resorts; Edition; Fairfield Inn & Suites; Gaylord Hotels; JW Marriott; Marriott Executive Apartments; Marriott Hotels & Resorts; Marriott Vacation Club; Moxy Hotels; Protea Hotels; Renaissance Hotels; Residence Inn; SpringHill Suites; and TownePlace Suites. (Page 1 of 2) Hilton HHonors scores high in the account maintenance/management factor (756) and also performs particularly well in the reward program terms and variety of benefits factors. Marriott Rewards scores high in ease of redeeming points/miles (755) and performs particularly well in reward program terms and ease of earning points/miles. Following Hilton HHonors and Marriott Rewards in the rankings is IHG Rewards Club3 (722). Following are additional findings in the report. Satisfaction Influences Program Loyalty: Providing an outstanding loyalty/rewards program experience can generate high levels of advocacy and retention. The report finds that 83% of highly satisfied members (overall satisfaction scores of 900 or higher) say they “definitely will” recommend the brand to a friend, relative or colleague, while only 10% of displeased members (scores of 649 or less) say they “definitely will” recommend. Loyalty/Rewards Program Value Remains Consistent: Slightly more than three-fourths (77%) of members say their program is equally as valuable as it was in 2015, and just 11% indicate their program is less valuable than the year before. Positive Reviews and Reputation Are Reasons to Choose: Satisfaction is highest among the 8% of members who choose their loyalty program based on positive reviews—award or online ratings—(829 vs. 815 in 2015) and is second highest among the 11% of members who choose based on the program’s reputation (811 vs. 800 in 2015). Location, Location, Location: Convenience of location continues to be the primary reason customers enroll in hotel loyalty/rewards programs, with 40% of customers choosing their program based on convenience of locations. The 2016 Hotel Loyalty/Rewards Program Satisfaction Report is based on responses from more than 3,096 consumers in the United States who have joined a hotel loyalty plan. Invitations to participate in the online survey were sent via email to panelists in February 2016.

    Tilly Shirlaw Hilton Worldwide +44 207 856 8723 [email protected] Grayling Poland For Hilton Worldwide Anna Kuprian +48 607 102 439 [email protected] Hilton Worldwide Introduces Hampton by Hilton in Lodz Construction of new Hampton by Hilton Lodz underway to open in 2018 LODZ, Poland and MCLEAN, Va. (24 November 2015) - Hilton Worldwide (NYSE: HLT) has reached a franchise agreement with VHM Hotel Management Sp. z o.o. to open a second hotel in the city of Łódź. Construction has begun of a mixed use tower block on Piotrkowska Street which will see the 149 guest room Hampton by Hilton Lodz open in early 2018. The announcement comes a little over two years after Hilton Worldwide opened its debut hotel in Poland’s third largest city, in the shape of DoubleTree by Hilton Łódź, which has gone on to establish itself as the city’s leading upscale hotel - hosting Polish Fashion Week earlier this month. Hampton by Hilton Łódź will provide visitors to the city with new, affordable accommodation within the city centre. Patrick Fitzgibbon, senior vice president, development, Europe & Africa, Hilton Worldwide, said: "We feel the hotel market in Łódź is underrepresented when it comes to branded accommodation with less than 10% of its properties operating under established international brands. We’ve seen our DoubleTree by Hilton property perform particularly well and gain a foothold in the city’s upscale sector. Hampton by Hilton Łódź affords us the opportunity to make a similar impact in the economy end of the market." Located on Piotrkowska Street, Europe’s largest pedestrian thoroughfare, the mixed use development will be surrounded by Łódź’s nineteenth architectural heritage.
