Hilton Providing Free Hotel Rooms for Fire Victims
If you or someone you know has been displaced by one of the various fires in the LA area, Hilton in conjunction with 211LA is allocating 20,000 vouchers for a free stay up to a week long. You can go to 211la.org to sign up.
Yes — this is correct. Hilton, in partnership with 211 LA (the local 2-1-1 helpline) and American Express, has set up a program to provide free hotel stays for people displaced by the wildfires in the Los Angeles area.
Here are the key details:
- Hilton and American Express are making 20,000 room nights available *at no cost* to wildfire-impacted residents in the greater LA region.
- The program is coordinated by 211 LA, which is handling applications and verification.
- The vouchers are for up to seven nights of stay.
- To apply, residents should submit a “2025 Emergency Recovery Request” via 211 LA.
Here are also a few important things to know / things to watch out for:
- Availability is *not guaranteed*. Even submitting the application doesn’t mean you’ll definitely get a room, because there are a finite number of vouchers.
- Hilton is encouraging Hilton Honors members to donate their points to help support this relief effort.
- The Conrad N. Hilton Foundation is also contributing, pledging $2.5 million toward longer-term recovery efforts.
If you or someone you know is displaced, the best first step is to contact 211 LA (by phone or through their website) and fill out the emergency housing request. 211 LA will verify eligibility and, if approved, help match you with a participating Hilton property.
