Here's everything we know so far about the Outset Collection by Hilton.<\/p>\n
What Is the New Outset Collection Brand?<\/span><\/h2>\nThe Outset Collection is “designed for guests seeking soulful, independent hotel stays across adventure outposts, urban hotspots, small towns, and offbeat hubs,” according to Hilton. It's also Hilton's 25th brand.<\/p>\n
The first Outset Collection property is Slackline Moab <\/a>in Utah. It features trail-friendly meals, a gear shop, and free parking with EV charging.<\/p>\nACME Hotel Chicago has also recently joined the collection. While not as nature-centric as the Slackline, ACME is an affordable option in the often-pricey River North district.<\/p>\n![\"slackline](\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\")
Credit: Hilton<\/em><\/enter><\/figure>\nElite Perks at the Outset Collection<\/span><\/h2>\nLike other Hilton-affiliated properties, Outset Collection hotels participate in Hilton Honors<\/a>. That means elite members can expect standard tier benefits, though specific upgrade availability may vary by property.<\/p>\n\n- Hilton Honors Silver: <\/strong>Complimentary Wi-Fi and two complimentary bottles of water<\/li>\n
- Hilton Honors Gold<\/a>:<\/strong> Space-available upgrades to preferred rooms<\/li>\n
- Hilton Honors Diamond: <\/strong>Space-available upgrades, including select suites when available<\/li>\n
- Hilton Honors Diamond Reserve:<\/strong>\u00a04 p.m. late checkout and\u00a0the ability to use confirmed upgrade certificates, subject to program terms<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
In addition, Gold, Diamond, and Diamond Reserves receive a MyWay bonus<\/a> at check-in. Gold elites receive 750 bonus points for each stay, while Hilton Diamond elites receive 1,500 bonus points.<\/p>\nLooking for an easy way to score Hilton Honors Gold status? A Hilton credit card<\/a> is going to be your best bet.

Now let's see what Hilton members earn when checking into an Outset hotel.<\/p>\n
Earning Rates at the Outset Collection<\/span><\/h2>\nGood news: earning rates at the Outset Collection match other full-service Hiltons in the program. Some limited-service brands in the Hilton portfolio earn below the noted rates. Thankfully, that's not the case with Outset.<\/p>\n
Every Hilton member will earn 10 Hilton Honors points per dollar at the Outset Collection. If you have elite status, you'll also earn bonus Hilton points for your spend:<\/p>\n
\n- Silver elites <\/strong>earn a 20% bonus on points, for a total of 12 points per dollar.<\/li>\n
- Gold elites<\/strong> earn an 80% bonus on points, for a total of 18 points per dollar.<\/li>\n
- Diamond elites <\/strong>earn a 100% bonus on points, for a total of 20 points per dollar.<\/li>\n
- Diamond Reserve elites <\/strong>earn a 120% bonus on points, for a total of 22 points per dollar.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
That's in addition to any Hilton Honors points you may earn from a co-branded credit card<\/a>. Hilton also has frequent promotions that deliver solid bonus points to members<\/a>.<\/p>\nHow To Redeem at the Outset Collection<\/span><\/h2>\nIf you want to try out an Outset Collection property, the good news is it's pretty reasonable if you pick the correct dates. The two open properties are located in cities with a distinct on- and off-season.<\/p>\n
At ACME Hotel Chicago, standard room awards can start around 25,000 Hilton Honors points per night in the dead of winter and climb to 60,000 points during peak summer dates. With winter cash rates under $80, redeeming 25,000 points yields roughly 0.32 cents per point \u2014 well below the 0.59-cent average redemption<\/a> value AwardWallet users report for Hilton Honors points. However, if you can find standard award availability during busy summer dates, you may be able to extract above-average value.<\/p>\nHilton Honors members with Silver status or higher receive the fifth night free<\/a> on standard-room award stays. For example, a five-night stay pricing at 23,000 points per night would cost 92,000 points total \u2014 effectively 18,400 points per night.<\/p>\nCredit: Hilton<\/em><\/enter><\/figure>\nBottom Line<\/span><\/h2>\nThe Outset Collection reflects Hilton's move to capture adventure-focused travelers. Many want to visit the outdoors or smaller-market cities while still earning their Hilton points and receiving elite benefits.<\/p>\n
As the Outset Collection continues to grow, As the Outset Collection grows, it will be worth watching which new properties join the brand and how consistently they deliver Hilton Honors benefits.<\/p>\n
