Hilton has an incredible portfolio of hotels dotted all over the world. And making up a part of that portfolio are some of the most aspirational Hilton luxury hotels you can book with points.

Some of Hilton's most luxurious properties offer a fantastic value of up to 3.57 cents per point, over six times the value of what AwardWallet users typically redeem Hilton Honors points for. To curate a list of the 15 best-value Hilton luxury hotels you can book with points, we've analyzed the information from thousands of actual award bookings across tens of thousands of free nights.

So, which Hilton luxury hotels offer the best value for your points? Let's take a look.

How To Use This Data To Get a Great Deal

For each of Hilton's luxury hotels, we've taken a look at the average cost per night if you're paying cash, the average number of points per night, and the number of cents per point (CPP) you're getting to show how far, on average, your Hilton points go at each of these luxurious properties.

Cents-per-point is a helpful metric to compare various redemptions side-by-side. To calculate CPP, determine how much you'll save by spending points instead of money. Then, divide by the points needed to redeem for a free night. It's that simple.

You'll want to look for redemptions worth at least half a cent per point to get the most out of your Hilton Honors points. This goes for both luxury and non-luxury properties. Anything above that 0.5 cent-per-point mark presents decent or great value if you find a redemption well above it.

You also can stretch the value of your points even further by taking advantage of Hilton's fifth-night-free benefit. If you're an elite member, this means redeeming enough points for four nights and picking up a complimentary fifth night.

It's also worth using your Hilton Free Night Rewards at these properties to extract maximum value. Of the properties in this list, only the Ho'olei at Grand Wailea isn't available for Free Night Reward redemption (see the full list of exclusions).

Earning Hilton Honors Points

Hilton Honors points are easy to earn, courtesy of a handful of co-branded Hilton credit card offerings and a big-name partner offering points transfers to Hilton. You also can buy Hilton points outright, which can make sense for a high-value Hilton luxury hotel redemption — especially if there's an added bonus or discount.

Presently, you can earn Hilton points by earning a welcome bonus and spending on four co-branded credit cards. Here's a look at the current welcome offer on each card:

Or, if you hold an American Express credit card that earns Membership Rewards, you can instantly transfer them to Hilton Honors at a 1:2 ratio.
