With more than 8,300 locations worldwide and 24 distinct brands, there’s a Hilton stay experience for every type of traveler. This year, Hilton® has expanded its portfolio and partnerships to include even more options for travelers.
What better way to showcase the full breadth of what Hilton has to offer than by taking a peek at some of its most unique and exciting properties? And we’d be remiss to leave out how you can enhance a future Hilton stay with some exciting limited-time welcome offers ending Jan. 8, 2025, on Hilton Honors American Express cards.
Here’s all the information (and inspiration) you need to book your next stay with Hilton.
Our favorite ‘new ways to stay’ with Hilton
Hilton’s recent acquisitions and partnerships have not only added more destinations to its already strong lineup but have also provided travelers with the opportunity to stay at properties that reflect their travel style while earning and redeeming Hilton Honors™ points.
Here are a few of our favorites.
Graduate by Hilton Cincinnati
Graduate by Hilton knows a thing or two about school spirit. With locations conveniently near college campuses, Graduate by Hilton infuses each property with playful, inviting spaces for friends, family and fans to gather and decor that pays homage to the town’s history and collegiate culture.
Take Graduate by Hilton Cincinnati, for example. Located on the University of Cincinnati campus, the hotel incorporates the Bearcats’ colors into much of its decor, but the tribute doesn’t stop there. You’ll also find nods to the things that Cincinnati is most well known for, like the city’s unique take on chili and its legacy as the former headquarters of the Kenner toy company.
Rooms at Graduate by Hilton Cincinnati start at $140 or 43,000 Hilton Honors points per night.
AutoCamp Yosemite
According to Hilton’s 2025 Trends Report, 20% of travelers will aim for outdoor adventures in the new year. Thanks to an exclusive partnership between Hilton and premier outdoor hospitality brand AutoCamp, travelers can now enjoy the country’s natural splendor without sacrificing quality or comfortable accommodations (not to mention a hot shower).

AutoCamp locations offer a variety of accommodation options; The Clubhouse, a social hub for games, activities and refreshments; and The Kitchen, a dining outlet with fresh and prepared options so you can commune with one another and the great outdoors.
AutoCamp Yosemite is located in Midpines, California, about a 35-minute drive from Yosemite’s Arch Rock Entrance, though the vistas are just as scenic from the property as they are inside the national park’s boundaries. No matter which accommodation type you choose, you can expect modern, cozy furnishings, an outdoor fire pit with cookware and grilling supplies, and spa-inspired bath products (tent accommodations share a bath facility).
Accommodations at AutoCamp Yosemite start at $179 or 47,000 Hilton Honors points per night.
NoMad London
Hilton acquired the existing NoMad location in London earlier this year, with plans to expand the brand in the future. Travelers who prefer sophisticated service and award-winning food and beverages in a design-forward setting when they visit some of the world’s most popular destinations need only look to NoMad when booking their next stay.
The flagship NoMad London hotel is just around the corner from Covent Garden Market in London’s West End, occupying the 19th-century former Bow Street Magistrates’ Court and Police Station. Rooms at this boutique property have elegant details like velvet club chairs and mosaic-tiled bathrooms, alongside upscale conveniences like in-room Nespresso machines, argan oil bath amenities and cozy bathrobes.
Rooms at NoMad London start at $474 or 95,000 Hilton Honors points per night.
Conrad Orlando
One of the newest additions to the Conrad brand, Conrad Orlando is less than 3 miles from Walt Disney World® Resort. For travelers looking for a mix of Hilton and Disney perks at a resort with a plethora of luxurious family-friendly amenities, there is no better option.
Guests of the resort have access to a kids club, a private pool and the full-service Conrad Spa, all at the property, as well as a 20-acre tropical beach with crystal clear water, golf and dining amenities within the larger Evermore Orlando Resort complex. Thanks to its status as a Disney Good Neighbor Hotel, guests can enjoy complimentary transportation to Disney theme parks and access to an on-site concierge team to assist with personalized theme park needs.
Several rooms at Conrad Orlando overlook the crystalline waters of Evermore Bay, with some poolside rooms offering direct access to the pool deck. In addition to standard rooms and suites, Conrad Orlando offers family suites, each with bunk beds, a private balcony and two full bathrooms that sleep up to six guests, as well as newly unveiled wellness-focused guest rooms.
Rooms at Conrad Orlando start at $512 or 90,000 Hilton Honors points per night.
Tempo by Hilton Nashville Downtown
Tempo by Hilton Nashville Downtown provides a stylish stay for both business and leisure travelers. There are several indoor and outdoor spaces where you can work or “talk shop” in the morning, plus a rooftop pool lounge and the Topgolf Swing Suites for resting and recharging.
Tempo by Hilton Nashville Downtown is less than a block from Nashville’s bustling Broadway scene and convenient to some of the city’s most popular attractions, including the Music City Center, Ryman Auditorium and the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum.
Guest rooms are designed to fully accommodate the modern traveler’s needs, with thoughtful design touches like well-lit areas for working and getting ready for the day, cooling bed linens and a Bluetooth speaker in the bathroom mirror. You can even choose a Peloton wellness room with a Peloton spin bike, TRX resistance bands, a yoga mat and blocks, and a selection of recovery equipment, including a Therabody Theragun.
Rooms at Tempo by Hilton Nashville Downtown start at $89 or 28,000 Hilton Honors points per night.
How to get even more from your Hilton stays
Regardless of where you choose to stay, Hilton’s cobranded credit cards offer valuable perks. Plus, with their current elevated welcome offers, they can help you earn points that you can redeem for award stays.
If you are interested in a no-annual-fee card (see rates and fees), consider the Hilton Honors American Express Card. You can earn an elevated offer of 100,000 Hilton Honors bonus points after spending $2,000 in purchases on the card in the first six months of card membership. Offer ends Jan. 8, 2025. Terms apply.
You’ll also get automatic Hilton Honors Silver status, which includes perks like bonus points on Hilton Honors Base Points earned on paid stays and the fifth night free when you book a standard room stay with only points. Terms apply.
Currently, you can earn a whopping 165,000 Hilton Honors bonus points after spending $3,000 in purchases on the card within the first six months of card membership when you apply and are approved for the Hilton Honors American Express Surpass® Card. This welcome offer, which ends Jan. 8, 2025, is worth $990 according to TPG’s December 2024 valuations, but that’s not all you get with this card. Terms apply.
One of the most valuable ongoing benefits of this card, which has a $150 annual fee (see rates and fees), is automatic Hilton Honors Gold status. This benefit comes with the same perks as Hilton Silver status, plus room upgrades at select properties when space is available and a complimentary food-and-beverage credit (available at select brands in the U.S.). Terms apply.
So, exactly how far can those points take you? Most Hilton award stays range from 5,000 to 150,000 Hilton Honors points per night for standard rooms, so you could splurge on one or two nights at a luxury resort or stretch those points into a four- or five-night stay at a budget-friendly property.
Bottom line
With Hilton’s ever-expanding portfolio, you have new ways to stay, no matter where your travels take you. If you want to make the most of your stay, don’t forget to take advantage of the current elevated welcome offers on some of Hilton’s most popular cards.
Whether you are traveling back to your alma mater for the big homecoming game or want a spot where you can enjoy the great outdoors and the great indoors, there’s a Hilton stay for you.
