Hilton, a global leader in hospitality, has teamed up with American Campus Communities, the largest developer and manager of high-quality student housing in the U.S., to enhance the living experience for students. This new collaboration will offer American Campus Communities residents who are Hilton Honors members special perks, including up to 15% off the best available room rates at Hilton hotels. Starting this spring, members will also have an expedited path to Hilton Honors elite status, providing access to exclusive travel benefits worldwide.

“We’re committed to enhancing the student experience by creating communities that support students’ academic and personal journeys,” said Kimmy Kelley, chief marketing officer, American Campus Communities. “We believe that a fulfilling college experience extends beyond the classroom, and by partnering with Hilton, we’re proud to offer our residents great perks and rewards to help them make lasting memories along the way.”

“This partnership is an opportunity for Hilton to enhance the stay for the residents of American Campus Communities,” said Mark Weinstein, chief marketing officer, Hilton. “We are excited to provide memorable stays for residents throughout their college experience—whether it’s during spring or winter break, travel to an away game, or a long weekend road trip to visit friends.  We look forward to bringing the exclusive Hilton Honors perks to ACC residents and are excited for the opportunity for more young travelers to experience the Hilton stay.”

Hilton’s new partnership with American Campus Communities enhances opportunities for guests to connect with and support local academic communities. This year, Hilton expanded its portfolio with the addition of Graduate by Hilton, offering travelers distinctive, locally inspired stays in close proximity to universities. Furthermore, Hilton strengthened its commitment to collegiate sports by becoming an official sponsor of The Big Ten Conference and Big Ten Network, providing exclusive perks and experiences to student-athletes, team members, and college football fans alike.
