A week ago, as if to give credence to that, Hilton trumpeted that the online room reservations site would go live on Dec. 10.

It did go live. But if spring’s the reopening target, why was the earliest reservation being offered not until Sept. 1?

Spokesperson Emma Silverman said, “No, the [spring] opening has not been shifted back. As we move closer to our opening date, we anticipate accepting reservations for dates beginning in spring 2025.”
