List of Hilton hotels in the highest categories (80,000+ points)
Hilton hotels in the highest categories, where booking requires 80,000 to 150,000 Hilton points per night, stand out as one of the prime options for redeeming Hilton Honors points. The value of a Hilton point tends to peak here, often exceeding 1 cent per point. As these categories represent the pinnacle of the Hilton Honors program, these hotels typically belong to the most opulent establishments under the Hilton, Conrad, and Waldorf Astoria brands. With Hilton not releasing a hotel list categorized by points, this article offers an overview of the key Hilton hotels worldwide demanding 80,000 points or more per night.
What makes hotels in the highest Hilton categories so appealing?
Although Hilton Honors has officially discontinued hotel categorization, all hotels available through the Hilton Honors program can still be grouped into approximately 15 categories, each defining the maximum points required for a night's stay. Category 1 Hilton hotels require a maximum of 5,000 points per night, while Category 15 hotels historically capped at 95,000 points per night. However, some hotels now surpass this limit. Notably, since the debut of the Waldorf Astoria in the Maldives, there exists a hotel demanding 150,000 points per night.
Hilton is regularly selling points for 0.50 USD/point, effectively reducing the cost per night of some of these properties below by up to 80%. Right now, there is a promotion going on - you can find our article about it here:
