Conclusion
There are still 157 hotels left where members only need 5,000 or 10,000 points for a free night. It is good for those that travel to Turkey and China, where often most of these hotels are.

Damn Hilton, what have you done??
Hilton have destroyed the loyalty program 🙁
Hardly. Have you not noticed that most, though not all, properties on the list are highly franchised “pop and mom” hotels (Hampton Inn, Garden Inn) that used to opt out of most Honors promos, until they were told that they could no longer opt out? Well, those are properties where service is likely to be awful because their owners couldn’t care less about Hilton Honors. Why would you anyone want to redeem points at such properties.
Moreover, I and may others would argue that it is not particularly a good use of points to spend them at properties low-end that would cost $50/night or less. Why not pay cash at low end and use points at high end, where stays would be more expensive or outright unaffordable to pay cash, with Waldorf Astoria Maldives being one and extreme example?
Very good point. That’s my strategy too and very happy with it so far.
because the value of staying at high-end hotels is nowhere near their inflated cash price.
Do not confuse these two things
I just came back from WA Maldives Ithaafushi, where I spent 5 absolutely incredible award nights over New Year’s Eve for “just” 480K HH points (5th night free), the cash value of which would have been $20,333 based on a dummy cash booking I did at the same time, yielding a “nominal” redemption value of 4.2 cents per HH point. There is no way I would have been able to afford that highly ‘aspirational’ and lucrative stay if I had to pay cash.
Now tell me who is confused.

None of the photos of WA Maldives above are Adobe-‘photoshopped.’ That is the sort of high-end places that one can afford by playing the game with a “full deck”, as I suggested.
G’day!
That’s interesting, I haven’t seen a $50/night Hampton, the cheapest I’ve ever seen was a Tru for $70/night (I don’t like the Tru or Home2, they have weird, to me, breakfast choices). I have had bad service at a full service Hilton before with a higher rate and great service at a Hampton that was cheaper, it seems to me like the area determines the service. The worse hotel I’ve ever been to was a full service Hilton by the St. Louis airport, but all the hotels near that airport suck, and in contrast all the hotels in downtown St. Louis are much better service wise, regardless of brand.
Your experience is diametrically opposite to mine. I invariably get much better service and Diamond status recognition at high-end Hilton hotels (WA, Conrad, full service Hilton, DT) than I do at ‘utilitarian’ places like Hampton Inn or Home2…
I agree, I’m loyal to Hilton only because of digital check in and digital key, its very convenient and has spoiled me, but trying to collect Hilton points is not very relevant. It’s easier to collect cashback/flexible points and not worry about trying to max value out of their points. Most properties I would be staying at have a point value of less than 0.3 cent/point (i.e. 40,000 points for a $90/night room) and a few of my favorite properties are even worse (for example: 70,000 points for a 102/night room, aka, a tenth of a cent/point). Not saying I won’t use the points I collect staying in Hilton brands, I just don’t go out of my way to earn them anymore, through other means (i.e. transferring amex points, using Hilton card, card rentals, etc)
Prices of 5,000-10,000 points per night seem a bargain to me. Recently, I paid 27,000 points per night for a reservation in Hiltom Barra Rio de Janeiro in late August 2019.
I paid 120K per night for 4 night reward stay at Waldorf Astoria Maldives, getting a fifth night free, for a total cash value of $20,333.36, including taxes and service charge and the value is exact to cent because I did a dummy cash booking at the same time as I booked the award stay.
For the cost of just one night at WA Maldives I would be able to spend almost one free month in a 5K/night hotel or 2 free weeks in a 10K/night hotel. So, forgive me if I am cynical about the notion that Hilton is ‘destroying’ their program by changing the costs of 5K or 10K per night hotels!
I love the picture; Bali Hilton Garden Inn pool. Well run. Fabulous staff. Unbeatable location (walk from the airport!). Many thanks to you and the Bali HGI.
Hotels in Izmir are not available. There are 6 Hilton hotels and none of them is available to book using points. Am I missing something?
Update: I used inkognito tab in google chrome and the hotels became available using points… Strange
