Hilton Hotels Corporation (HHC) and online travel operator lastminute.com have teamed up to launch a new short-break package, called Hilton Theatre Breaks.

The web-based packages – which can be booked on Hilton’s web site – combine theatre tickets to a West End show with accommodation at one of Hilton’s 14 central London properties.

A spokesperson for Hilton, Tim Davis, said: “We have launched Hilton Theatre Breaks in response to consumer demand for entertainment-based short breaks. The platform provided by lastminute.com will make booking these breaks very efficient.”

Vic Darvey, group commercial director of lastminute.com, added: “We are delighted to be working with Hilton to launch their theatre breaks. Providing consumers with ideas of how to fill their leisure time is at the heart of our company, so teaming up with another aspirational brand such as Hilton is a logical step for us.”

The online packages are available for events and hotel stays in London but will be rolled out throughout the UK and Ireland. Details: www.hilton.co.uk
