Which Hilton hotels can you book for just 5,000 points per night?

Hilton Honors still has a handful of hotels which are 5,000 points per night EVERY NIGHT.

Given that some of their hotels now run to 150,000 points per night (the new rate for Waldorf Astoria Maldives on peak days), these are a great deal if you need to be anywhere near one of them.

This list is especially interesting given that Hilton is offering a 100% bonus when you purchase Hilton Honors points.  This takes the cost per point down to as little as 0.5 cents.  The current bonus ends on 8th July – you can buy on this page of the Hilton website.

Remember that Hilton counts reward nights towards elite status qualification.  If you are a few nights short of requalifying, a stay at one of these properties would do the trick very cheaply.  I wrote this story a few years ago about how Will achieved Hilton Diamond status for £68 of Tesco Clubcard vouchers.

Unfortunately, none of 5,000 points per night hotels are in the UK.  In fact, to be honest, it is unlikely that any of them are in places you want to visit. 

Bali Airport is possibly the one you are most likely to come across although you could also have a very cheap tour of Turkey.  The 10,000 points list of Hilton Honors redemptions, which is here, is a bit more user friendly.

All of this data comes from Hilton’s ‘Points Explorer’ tool here.  Set the slider to 5,000 points.

How to earn Hilton Honors points and status from UK credit cards (April 2025)

There are various ways of earning Hilton Honors points from UK credit and debit cards.  Many cards also have generous sign-up bonuses.

There are two dedicated Hilton Honors debit cards. These are especially attractive when spending abroad due to the 0% or 0.5% FX fee, depending on card.

You also receive FREE Hilton Honors status for as long as you hold the debit cards – Gold status with the Plus card and Silver status with the basic card. This is a great reason to apply even if you rarely use it.

We reviewed the Hilton Honors Plus Debit Card here and the Hilton Honors Debit Card here.

You can apply for either card here.

SPECIAL OFFER: Until 30th April 2025, the annual fee on the basic Hilton Honors debit card is halved from £60 to £30. The sign-up bonus is also easier to earn – you need to spend £1,000 either in the UK or abroad within three months. The usual bonus rule requires you to spend the full £1,000 outside the UK.
