Here is where to spend your Hilton points in the Americas

Traveling the Americas is a dream filled with vibrant cities, breathtaking landscapes, and… sky-high hotel prices that can empty your wallet faster than you can say “continental breakfast.” Enter Hilton Honors points, your trusty sidekick for turning that big adventure into a reality without maxing out your credit card. But before you start splurging points like a kid in a candy store, let’s dive into the best ways to stretch those hard-earned rewards across the continent.

From the rainforests of Costa Rica to the buzzing streets of Orlando, we’ll show you how to get the most bang for your Hilton buck (and maybe even score a few extra perks along the way). Buckle up—your points are about to travel farther than ever.

If you are not familiar with the general cent-per-point (CPP) concept, I recommend you read up on my recent article about this topic here:

If you are already familiar with this concept, you might be interested in reading up on the best Hilton properties to use your points for globally. I have also written an extensive article about it recently, so you can find some travel inspiration:

But without further ado, let’s dive right into the best properties. Below, you find the 30 highest average CPP-rated properties in the Americas. Do note that firstly this does not assume using the 5th night free-offer that Hilton offers Silver members and up. I would strongly recommend you make sure that you stay the 5 nights if you have the time as it will make your redemption so much more of a good deal.

Secondly, please always compare the cash and point rates specifically for your dates. Cash rates especially vary widely between different dates and what makes on average a good redemption might be a bad one for specific dates. Conversely, some otherwise “bad” CPP properties can be a fantastic redemption if the cash rate is blown up due to a big convention or concert in town that night.

When we look at the properties below, you can see that a lot of the most attractive properties are in Central America, with the classics, such as the Waldorf Astoria Los Cabos Pedregal, but also many SLH hotels on smaller island nations dominating this ranking.
