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).
