It is probably safe to say that there is no consensus among Hilton branded properties regarding this topic. We have been following this trend for 25 years when Holiday Inns mandated that 10% of the rooms be NON SMOKING. It is probably quite safe to say that it is most likely that additional chains will become 100% non smoking in the near future. We would encourage prospective guests to vote with their reservations. Stay at a 100% non smoking hotel and leave a comment card for the General Manager applauding their decision.

I come across new ones converting to non-smoking virtually every week. The way the trend is going I figure it is only a matter of time before the hotel by hotel choice of allowing or disallowing smoking will be replaced by the chain going smokefree.
