Did you know there's a Hilton Honors award calendar buried on the website?
Hilton's loyalty program, Hilton Honors, is a great program that can offer loads of value. And while Hilton makes earning and burning its points easy, using its free night search engine can be much less straightforward. Fortunately, there is a way to streamline the process of finding availability.
Hilton Honors Award Calendar
The Hilton Honors award calendar allows you to pull up the points cost for a specific property an entire month at a time. This makes searching for the lowest (standard) price room much easier than searching individual dates.

How to Pull Up Hilton's Calendar
First, you'll need to navigate to the Hilton website. Once there, it's time to start searching.
For this article, we are going to highlight the Waldorf Astoria Los Cabos Pedregal. As you can see from the photo below, this property is pricey. So, it's a great property for a points booking.
In order to redeem a free night, we'll first need to find standard award availability. You can book nights that aren't priced out at the Standard rate, but you will be paying out the wazoo if you go this route. So, for the best redemption, we need to find Standard night availability.
Additionally, if you want to use a Free Weekend Night Reward, you'll have to find Standard award availability.
For a standard night at the Waldorf Astoria Los Cabos Pedregal, you'll cough up 120,000 Hilton Honors points a night.
Once on the Pedregal's booking page, make sure to select select the “Use Points and Money” feature.
Next, navigate to the top and select the “Edit Stay” option, which we've highlighted above in orange.
Finally, select the “Shop by Price” option at the bottom of the calendar, which we have also highlighted in orange.
And voila! You have a calendar showing all the availability for the Waldorf Astoria Los Cabos Pedregal for the month. As you can see, there aren't too many Standard nights available, but there are a few.
