A trio of hotel chains is offering discounts. Hilton International’s two-for-one weekend program in 19 European cities and Cairo is good until March 30.

Also, Hilton is offering lower summer rates at 81 hotels around the world from June 16 through September (July 1 to Aug. 31 in Europe). The deal includes continental breakfast, service charges and taxes.

Combining the two promotional rates is not allowed, so if you’re going to a European Hilton this summer, compare prices of the two-for-one and the summer program to determine which offers the best deal.

Discounts Up to 50 %

Pullman International Hotels is offering $69 or $89 per person, per room, at more than 75 hotels in Europe from June 15 to Sept. 15. These rates, which include tax and service charges, are discounted up to 50% off regular rates, according to the hotel.

Properties in the program are in Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Portugal and Spain.

MinOtels Europe, an association of about 600 small, independently owned hotels and inns in 20 European countries, offers a program of one price for all its properties. However, a surcharge of $9 to $36 per night may have to be paid at about 10% of the hotels and inns in big cities and popular resorts. St. Moritz in Switzerland and Brighton in England would be two examples, according to a MinOtel spokeswoman.

Voucher Program

Under the program, double rooms are available for $90 per night (singles $70), including a regional breakfast, plus tax and service charges. Extras are given at some properties, such as complimentary drinks or half-bottles of wine.

In addition, hotels will make reservations at another MinOtel at no charge, if the hotel is in the same country (a charge might be levied if the hotel is in another country). Reservations also may be made before leaving the United States.
