Hilton Golden Key Sweepstakes Gives Guests A Chance To Rub Shoulders With Rock 'N' Roll Royalty At 49th Annual Grammy® Awards

Premier Hotel Brand Partners with Premier Music Awards Show to Offer Guests Experience of a Lifetime

(Friday, November 10, 2006) - Hilton Hotels feature plush amenities that encourage guests to have an incomparable night in, but beginning Dec. 1, guests at participating Hilton Hotels throughout the U.S. and Canada will have the chance to win the ultimate night out. Guests can enter for a chance to win a trip for two to music's premier award show, the 49th Annual GRAMMY Awards on Feb. 11, in Los Angeles.

In keeping with the idea that travel should create new memories, guests staying at participating Hilton Hotels between Dec. 1 and Jan. 7 will receive a Golden Key at check-in, which may unlock the special lock located in the lobby of participating hotels. Five lucky grand prize winners will win a trip for two to the 49th Annual GRAMMY Awards in Los Angeles.

"Like travel, music has the power to transport us, create new memories and transform our experiences," says Jeff Diskin, SVP of brand management & marketing, Hilton Hotels. "Partnering with The Recording Academy® was a natural fit for Hilton and what better way to link the powers of travel and music than to offer our guests the chance to win the transformative opportunity of a lifetime - a trip to the GRAMMY Awards."

To enter, travelers can book their reservations on Hilton.com and stay at any participating Hilton hotel in the U.S. and Canada between Dec. 1, 2006 and Jan. 7, 2007. Visit Hilton.com for complete sweepstakes rules and a list of participating Hilton Hotels.

The Hilton Golden Key sweepstakes is one element of the company's GRAMMY partnership. As part of the Hilton Harmony Tour, a grand piano has been touring the United States collecting signatures from some of the world's best known musicians and celebrities, among them Bruce Springsteen, Kanye West, Coldplay's Chris Martin, Stevie Wonder and Tony Bennett, to name a few. At each stop local artists conduct music lessons with school children. Along with an unforgettable music lesson, Hilton donates $1,000 toward the music programs of schools visited by artists. The piano will be auctioned off with 100 percent of the proceeds going to benefit music education programs of the GRAMMY Foundation®. For more information, visit www.hiltonharmonytour.com.
