National Waffle Day is on August 24, and Hampton by Hilton is inviting breakfast lovers to help create a new limited-time waffle flavor that will be served at more than 2,450 hotels across the U.S. and Canada.

From August 22 through September 5, guests and fans are invited to share why they love The Hampton Waffle and what flavor they’d create for a chance to become the first Guest Waffle Boss.

In addition to creating the newest Hampton by Hilton waffle flavor, the Guest Waffle Boss will receive a five-night stay at a Hampton by Hilton property of their choice anywhere in the world, plus 1 million Hilton Honors Points to dream, book and spend on future stays, once-in-a-lifetime Hilton Honors Experiences and more.

“At Hampton by Hilton, waffles are more than the centerpiece of our free hot breakfast—they’re a memory in the making,” said Shruti Gandhi Buckley, senior vice president and brand leader, Hampton by Hilton. “Whether it’s the smell of syrup in the morning or the joy of opening that iconic Hampton waffle iron, these small rituals are a recipe for happiness."

Hampton by Hilton’s love affair with waffles runs deep as the first hotel brand to popularize the baked-by-guests Belgian waffle with signature flavors to include Birthday Cake, S’mores and Lemon. The winning flavor will join this lineup in its 2026 debut.

“Hamptonality starts at breakfast, where our team members greet guests with our signature warm and friendly service that sets the tone of the stay,” added Gandhi Buckley. “This contest invites our guests to share in that magic and help us create the next flavor innovation that will become part of someone’s favorite travel moment.”

To enter the contest open to Hilton Honors residents of the U.S. and D.C., participants must complete an entry form and submit a short video.
