Hilton has relaunched its Public Sector Leisure Offer for stays in the UK, Ireland, and Continental Europe.
Eligible government, public sector, and non-profit employees get up to 25% off at participating hotels. The discount at Hampton hotels is capped at 15%. The rate plan appears to include breakfast for two.
You can access this offer on Hilton’s website here.
This rate plan is intended for government and public sector employees’ LEISURE TRAVEL and is not a government rate. It is eligible for Hilton Honors stay/night credit and elite benefits.
Government and public sector employees, such as teachers, firefighters, police, public transport employees, healthcare sector employees, if they work for public hospitals, are eligible. In addition, Hilton clarifies on the T&Cs that they have made this rate plan also available for charitable and non-profit organization employees.
You must provide government, public sector, or non-profit credentials.

I executed a few searches for major European cities. The Public Sector Leisure Rate is often the lowest, when available.

Amsterdam
Barcelona
Rome

The hotel has this rate available for several room types, up to a junior suite.
The rate includes breakfast but is prepaid and noncancelable.
Conclusion
It is great that Hilton has decided to bring this discounted rate plan back for government, public sector, and non-profit employees.
There is an unfortunate mistake on the T&Cs that I have highlighted (a valid airline identification?).
