Yesterday, we published (access here) the category 1 Hilton Honors hotels that only require 5,000 points per night and we just finished the list of 154 category 2 hotels that need 10,000 points.
Hilton Honors stopped publishing award charts and informing members when hotels change in number of points required for free nights back in 2017 that made it very difficult to inform our readers when these changes take place.
You can access Hilton here.

Remember that these hotels qualify for fifth night free if you are elite member. You are then basically paying 40,000 points (8,000 points on average) for five nights.

Conclusion
When we published similar list in April 2017 (read more here), there were total of 141 hotels at 10,000 points per night level. Glad to see that there are more category 2 hotels in 2018 (and hopefully more in 2019!).
Remember that Hilton Honors no longer gives any advance notice about possible award category changes so there are no guarantees how long these point requirements will stay in place. These are valid as of today (March 20, 2018).
You can purchase Hilton Honors purchase points (access here) during their frequent sales at 0.5 cents per point. If you wants to catch their next pne, remember to follow our articles.
Hampton Inn Miami: I didn’t realize that was in Oklahoma. Near the border to Pittsburg, Kansas. Not the other border near Paris, Texas. It can be confusing.
hopefully not more cat 2 hotels upgraded from cat 1 :))
Can the US ones be broken down by state? If that’s too much work I understand. But like another poster I clicked the Hampton Inn Miami and was so disappointed. It would help especially for cities that aren’t as familiar.
Good idea. I’ll do it later today.
Did you end up doing it? nope. pathetic blog.
I’ve stayed at that one on business. Not a vacation spot.
most of those lists were just cat 1 5k a night …what happened???? and so much about transparency!!!
Hilton changed the award catwgcat plain and simple.
Your conclusion is not great, 13 more 10k cat hotels, BUT more than 13 5k Hotels moved up to 10k so 10k band total should be higher, Difference is that 10k’s moved to 15/20k’s too
There are more hotels because those were former Cat 1 hotels lol. Hilton has moved Cat 2 hotels up as well. I can think of a few in Georgia, Alabama, South Carolina, Illinois, the sole one in Massachusetts…..all moved to Cat 3.
Hi – this is very helpful, thanks. Do you know if there is a map available showing where the US 10K point Hilton hotels are located? Thanks
UGH. Hillsboro Texas? You got my hopes up…. I though it was Oregon. Set our expectations by listing the 10K properties by state.
can someone point me to a link for 30k, 40k point list and hotels which can be booked aligned to these point values – I could not find anything on Google
thank you for this list. We are visiting Vienna Austria later this year and I had reserved a Holiday Inn. The redemption was ridiculous $150.00 or 35,000 points/night. Breakfast was extra and a 2nd person in the room was extra $25.00 per night. The Hilton is a much better deal. Even if we have to catch a cab to town on the weekend since their shuttle does not run on weekends.
This list is no longer accurate. Just checking hotels at random. I.E. The one’s in Cairo Egypt. Ramses is now 20K and Pyramid Golf 47K.
