Doubletree Hotels, Suites, Resorts and Clubs present a chocolate chip cookie to each guest at check-in. Synonymous with Doubletree hospitality, the cookie has been used to differentiate the Doubletree hotel brand from its competition.
Doubletree gives out approximately 29,000 chocolate chip cookies each day, and a total of over 125,000,000. Each cookie weighs a 2½ ounces and has an average of 20 chocolate chips. The cookies are currently manufactured by The Christie Cookie company. In June 2002, Doubletree gave its 100,000,000th cookie.

Had my yearly review today. My manager told me she was going to give me 4.5/5 on supplier relations until I reminded her that no Hilton reps had given me a Doubletree cookie in months. So she bumped me up to 5/5, which she should have done in the first place! Considering that I spent a night at a Crowne Plaza a couple weeks ago and they fed me steak!
