DoubleTree by Hilton Delivers a Sweet Surprise to America's Friendliest City for World Kindness Day, November 13

DoubleTree by Hilton will celebrate World Kindness Day by bringing "Cookie Care" to Charleston - recognized by Condé Nast Traveler* as America's friendliest city - in the hopes of making people's day a little brighter.

DoubleTree by Hilton will be celebrating World Kindness Day by spreading the Cookie Care through:

• Conducting free cookie giveaways from 10 AM - 1 PM at the corner of Church and Market Street in Charleston's Historic District
• A special cookie delivery to the Ronald McDonald House Charleston
• Inviting consumers all over the U.S. to join the conversation and celebrate using #CookieCare on social media to recognize someone with whom they would like to share #CookieCare and DoubleTree by Hilton may just send a surprise cookie delivery their way!

In the spirit of paying it forward, everyone will receive two cookies - one to keep and one to share!

The initiative is part of DoubleTree by Hilton's global Cookie Care campaign, which launched this spring to celebrate the brand's milestone of more than 300 million cookies given to guests as a welcome at hotel check-in. The program takes the brand's sweet treat beyond hotel doors to surprise people during key moments - from high-profile events to holidays and everyday moments of celebration.

WHY:

At DoubleTree by Hilton, we believe the little things mean everything when it comes to a great travel experience. This is why we've delighted guests with a warm chocolate chip cookie welcome for more than 25 years - the first "little thing" guests experience when they stay with us. Now, our simple gesture of a warm cookie at check-in has become synonymous with the DoubleTree by Hilton brand and a powerful symbol of the little, bright moments in life - we believe that no matter where you are or how you're feeling, cookies have the power to make you smile. As a brand, we have given out more than 300 million pieces of love - in the form of a cookie - and this year, we will leverage this iconic symbol to create and celebrate many more happy moments all year long... by sharing the #CookieCare.
