Over the past week, we have compiled an updated list of all Hilton hotels requiring a maximum of 5,000 and 10,000 Honors points for standard award rooms (read more here) and a comprehensive list of all affiliated hotels with their maximum standard awards (read more here).
We have also updated the Honors points and Hilton brand distributions that you can file in the “good to know” department.
You can access Hilton here.

Hilton Brand Distribution
Hampton Inn and Hilton Garden Inn hotels represent roughly 55% of all Hilton-affiliated hotels. However, if you add Embassy Suites, Home2 Suites, and Homewood Suites, these five brands represent 74%.
Honors Point Distribution
It is quite interesting that three award buckets of 30K/40K/50K points per night are 77% of all hotels.
Hilton Hotels Requiring 5,000 & 10,000 Honors Points per Night:

Conclusion
I rarely stay at brands that represent most Hilton hotels, although I have stayed at a couple of HGI’s and one Hampton Inn so far this year, but none of the other three.
There is a paradox of what most of these hotel chains advertise (Maldives & Bora Bora) and the reality of Hampton Inn and HGI boxes worldwide.
There is nothing wrong with selling the program with aspirational properties, but the bread and butter for Hilton are these select service cement boxes that you can drop at every corner.
I can’t remember a day without seeing how one of major travel bloggers trashes Marriott (no pun intended, John). Still Hilton somehow is fine by them.
How comes?
This analysis shows how much Hilton devalued its award chart. OMG! It’s really unbelievable to see that level of devaluation.
No award charts.
No transparency and no notice devaluations is the norm.
No late checkout.
No suite upgrade.
No suite upgrade instruments.
No breakfast in North America now.
still Marriott is the evil somehow.
Agreed. People claim to be Bonvoyed and stuck in the old SPG era
Hilton seems to be getting a bit of a free pass
Don’t worry, as Hilton picks up more former United executives, it will deteriorate! They are experts!
We have never said that any of these loyalty programs would be perfect. They got lot of heat recently because of the breakfast “experiment” in the US.
John I didn’t mean you particularly even though I also believe you can be quite unfair to Marriott. Still among the major blogs you do provide the most balanced coverage of major hotel programs. Maybe Gary Leff does also a +/- fair job trashing all the programs :D.
but if you go to omaat, liveandletsfly and etc it’s #bonvoyed #bonvoyed #bonvoyed every day.
Even though I was initially very disappointed with Arne Sorenson approach and comments I get why they may feel fed up. They created all around the best program among major chains with most guaranteed perks (all of the most important perks from SPG were adopted by Marriott). Hyatt is better of course but first go and try to find a Hyatt to stay at if you’re not in the states. Still Marriott keeps getting shit non stop from bonvoyed blogs and spgmembers. Just a quick comparison to Hilton where you have nothing guaranteed and now even BB taken away + 300-400% devaluation over the course of 3-4 years + terrible customer service (like shot an email to guest.correspondance asking to fix onproperty issues and got a response 9 days later). IHG – zero elite recognition + constant devaluation + death of points breaks. Accor – is it a even a real program or just a mess of loosely connected and loosely controlled properties with thousands of independent promos and no customer service.

On the good side, while I prefer to avoid Hampton (there are many HGI that I truly like), accomplishing a long drive on I10 is definitely served by being able to stop at a Hilton affiliate most anywhere!
Sad that my comment about appreciating the Hamptons along I10 disappeared.
