It’s Strawberry Season and Hilton Is Sharing Sumptuous Strawberry Sweets and Treats for Summer

With more 5-star reviews on external review sites than any hotel brand, Hampton by Hilton is a beloved hotel brand for a variety of reasons. And now, Hampton is adding one more reason to book an upcoming getaway to any of its U.S. and Canadian properties this summer. It's red. It's sweet. And it's in season!

This summer, nearly 1,800 Hampton hotels in the U.S. and Canada are celebrating strawberry season with the launch of its limited-time strawberry-flavored waffles. Hampton's free fresh-baked waffles are renowned for being crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, and between May 15 through July 31, guests can enjoy these iconic breakfast treats with a strawberry twist. Patriotic guests will also find complimentary red, white and blue sprinkles and whipped cream to top their breakfast waffles as a nod to the Memorial Day and Fourth of July holidays.

Craving even more strawberry flavor this summer? Guests can discover other ways to savor summer and strawberries across Hilton's 19 brands, with specialty cocktails and dishes created by Hilton bartenders and chefs.

For example, The Ray Hotel Delray Beach, Curio Collection by Hilton in Florida offers a sumptuous yet healthy strawberry smoothie at its Stingers Coffee Shop. Stingers combines strawberries, a banana and almond milk with real local Delray Beach honey, also available for take-home in 2- and 16-ounce bottles so you can replicate the recipe back home.

In Oxnard, California, home to the nation's largest-producing strawberry fields, nearby Zachari Dunes on Mandalay Beach, Curio Collection by Hilton pairs locally grown strawberries with California citrus to create a perfect house-made lemonade that greets guests upon arrival. Featuring the ripe berries in a variety of dishes, the hotel's oceanfront Ox & Ocean tops its organic green salad in strawberry vinaigrette, creates a savory strawberry salsa for a seasonal swordfish dish and offers a mouthwatering strawberry hand pie for dessert.

And, for a sweet end to a meal at Hotel del Coronado, Curio Collection by Hilton, try the Strawberry Pavlova. The vanilla bean meringue is served with strawberry sorbet, strawberry consommé, honey and goat cheese foam and is served at the hotel's Sheerwater seaside restaurant, featuring fresh ocean breezes and iconic sunsets.

Whether indulging in strawberry-flavored waffles, sipping on strawberry-infused beverages or sampling strawberry desserts, it matters where you stay, and Hilton hotels’ focus on seasonal foods and beverages will be sure to sweeten your summer.
