Being a Hilton Honors member has its perks. And indeed, a favorite is redeeming Points for free nights because what is better than free when traveling? Whether you have 20,000 Points, 50,000 Points or more than 100,000 Points, there are thousands of Hilton properties around the world from which to choose. Whether it be an urban getaway, beach retreat or family vacation to an amusement park, Hilton Honors has you covered as you make your 2022 travel plans.
Where the Redeemers Are
Of course, travelers want to know they can redeem Hilton Honors Points to visit the most popular destinations, including member-favorites like Las Vegas, Pigeon Forge (think Great Smoky Mountains) and Riviera Maya. Looking to turn your Points into free nights? You can easily and instantly see how far your Points will take you with the Points Explorer planning tool, and members can choose nearly any combination of Hilton Honors Points and money when booking a room. Here’s just a sampling of ways to redeem for a getaway in a few of the top North American destinations:
Las Vegas
Experience the glitz and glamour of Las Vegas with a luxury stay at Waldorf Astoria Las Vegas. Located in the heart of the Las Vegas Boulevard, this non-gaming hotel offers the grandeur of Waldorf Astoria just a dice-throw from the action. Enjoy adventures to the Hoover Dam and Grand Canyon, visit the lively casinos, take in fantastic theatrics and Las Vegas with a helicopter tour over the strip! When you are ready to relax, bask in the sun at the quiet pool, sample a service at the 27,000-square-foot spa or sip sensational cocktails and indulge in decadent bites while overlooking the Strip from the SkyBar. Enjoy a night on the house with redemptions starting at 80,000 Points.
Pigeon Forge, Tennessee
The Great Smoky Mountains are the No. 1 most-visited National Park and just outside the entrance to the vast forest wonderland is Pigeon Forge – although these days, the area’s hometown hero may be the biggest draw. Dolly Parton has helped transform her neck of the woods with her namesake theme park and water park, adding even more reasons to visit Eastern Tennessee. When you do, stay at Tru by Hilton Pigeon Forge, which offers redemptions starting at 40,000 Points, and features free hot breakfast, an indoor and outdoor pool and pet-friendly rooms.
Riviera Maya
Hilton Honors makes it easy to redeem your Points, so use them to enjoy an all-inclusive getaway on a sunny Mexican beach. In addition to free accommodations when you book using Points (which start at 57,000 Points per night) or Free Night Rewards, you’ll also enjoy free meals, drinks, water sports, fitness programs, arts and crafts and more at Hilton Playa del Carmen, an All-Inclusive Adult Only Resort. The property is nestled along the Caribbean Sea and within walking distance of the lively Fifth Avenue shopping and entertainment district. Or, for an additional fee, opt for a more relaxing afternoon and let your stress slip away with hydrotherapies and exclusive treatments at the Innan Spa.
A Way to Fast, Free Nights
Don’t have enough Points saved for your trip? With the latest “Free Nights Faster” special offers from Hilton Honors and American Express, eligible new Card Members who apply and are approved beginning February 3 can earn a Free Night Reward and Hilton Honors Bonus Points (terms apply).

Take a look at the top properties where members can redeem in the U.S.:
Orlando
Hilton Orlando Buena Vista Palace Disney Springs Area (starting at 50,000 Points per night) is an official Walt Disney World® Hotel within walking distance of Disney Springs®, directly accessible by a Pedestrian Skybridge. This means your family will enjoy early entry to the parks, have continuous complimentary shuttle service to the parks and indulge in special savings at Disney Springs®. Plus, select rooms and suites at the property where you can enjoy views of nightly Epcot® fireworks – no wonder the property is one of the most popular for redemptions! When you’re back at the property, the resort’s multiple dining options and Float Lagoon and Pool and Cabanas will help you relax so much you may ask, “What theme park?
Napa Valley
When it comes to bucket list travel, wining and dining across Northern California’s beautiful and world-renowned Napa Valley makes the cut. This is why Embassy Suites by Hilton Napa Valley (starting at 70,000 Points per night) is in high demand – it's located in the heart of Napa! The all-suites property is couple- and family-friendly with separate sleeping and living rooms and kitchenettes that make it a more-than-comfortable home base as you explore neighboring vineyards. Guests of the property enjoy free cooked-to-order breakfast daily, complimentary evening reception, an indoor and outdoor pool and bicycle rentals to traverse along the 47-mile Napa Valley Vine Trail.
New York City
One of the world’s most popular destinations, New York City is filled with hotels–yet Conrad New York Downtown (starting at 80,000 Points per night) is a favorite of Hilton Honors members. This all-suite property, filled with more than 2,000 pieces of one-of-a-kind artwork including the modern Loopy Doopy artwork designed by Sol LeWitt, has made it a go-to for art lovers. Situated along the Hudson River within steps of the World Trade Center, Wall Street and ferries to Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty, the Downtown property is a breath of fresh air, especially if you visit in the warmer months and enjoy its rooftop bar.
Hilton Honors also invites you to stay a little longer if these rewards weren't already inspiring your wanderlust. Now through May 1, every stay will earn you 2,500 Bonus Points through the Points Unlimited promotion so you can save for more redemptions. Plus, beginning February 3, members who register for the Points in the City promotion and stay in urban destinations including Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, New York City, New Orleans, Orlando, San Diego, San Francisco, Seattle or Washington, D.C., through May 1 will receive an additional 2,500 Bonus Points to put toward that next free night!
