There is something special about a warm, yummy chocolate chip cookie. It says “Welcome” in so many ways. That’s why we give one to every guest as they check in. It’s our way of showing you how much we care. For 25 years, we’ve been baking these signature chocolate chip cookies for travelers all over the world.

The DoubleTree by Hilton Cookie

Your Welcome Starts Here

Just for fun, here are a few facts to ponder as you sink your teeth into one of our delicious treats.

DoubleTree by Hilton gives out approximately 60,000 chocolate chip cookies each day adding up to more than 21 million cookies annually. In the early 1980s, most hotels reserved treats like these for VIPS; we started handing them out to everyone because we think every guest is a VIP. Since 1995, Christie Cookie Company has been the keeper of our secret cookie recipe. Every DoubleTree by Hilton hotel follows this recipe and exact baking instructions to the letter to ensure you get the same delicious experience no matter which DoubleTree you visit. Cookies are baked fresh every day at every hotel, all over the world, from Canada to China. That’s why they taste so good! Each cookie is approximately two full ounces of delicious-ness and is filled with an average of 20 yummy, melty chocolate chips – that’s more than 580,000 pounds of chocolate chips each and every year! We have donated more than 1,000,000 cookies to acknowledge and honor members of the communities where we operate hotels. Doctors and nurses, homeless shelters and orphanages, food banks and firefighters have all been given DoubleTree signature chocolate chip cookies.

At more than 325 hotels in 27 different countries, DoubleTree strives to Create A Rewarding Experience (CARE) for our guests. It starts with a warm chocolate chip cookie to welcome you.
