There Are Now More Than 500 Luxury Hotels You Can Use Hilton Points On

• Hilton’s luxury portfolio now has more than 500 hotels.
• The brand’s 2025 openings include the highly anticipated reopening of the Waldorf Astoria New York.
• Also coming soon: New Waldorf Astoria resorts in Osaka and Costa Rica, and a new LXR in Paris’s seventh arrondissement.

For travelers looking to use long-hoarded Hilton points on a luxury vacation, this might be the year, with a slew of new openings across Hilton’s luxury portfolio. Hilton’s luxury line-up now includes more than 500 hotels under brands like Waldorf Astoria, Conrad, LXR Hotels & Resorts, Signia by Hilton, and NoMad Hotels, the luxury lifestyle brand that Hilton acquired last year and plans to grow to as many as 100 properties around the world. The hotel giant also has a growing partnership with Small Luxury Hotels of the World.

“Global demand for unforgettable stays and sophisticated accommodations is undeniable, and we’re inspired by what lies ahead as we expand our award-winning brands into dynamic markets like Kuala Lumpur, Sydney, and Athens,” said Dino Michael, Hilton’s senior vice president. “Hilton’s recent Trends Report highlights that 2025 will be the ‘Year of the Travel Maximizer,’ with luxury travelers leading the charge to make every moment count.”

Waldorf Astoria is on every luxury hotel aficionado’s mind this year, as the brand flagship Waldorf Astoria New York is set to reopen this spring (though, reservations are currently only available for stays beginning in September). The luxe hotel that has been the home-away-from-home for presidents, royalty, and aspiring royalty will make its grand reentrance with 375 guest rooms and suites, chef Michael Anthony’s Lex Yard restaurant, and a spa clocking in at more than 30,000 square feet.

“This property was the original benchmark for luxury and ‘sincerely elegant service’ for over a century,” Michael added. “This highly anticipated event will not only reintroduce the iconic hotel but also mark the brand’s modernization and a new era of luxury.”

The Waldorf Astoria Osaka, which debuted this spring in Japan’s third-largest city, occupies the top floors of a new 40-story tower, making way for stellar views from each of the hotel’s 252 rooms and suites. Guests at the new Waldorf are treated to a Peacock Alley—the Waldorf’s signature cocktail lounge—with vaulted ceilings and expansive views of Osaka Bay. Guests can even enjoy a sky-high al fresco cocktail from the Peacock Terrace.

In Latin America, the Waldorf Astoria Costa Rica Punta Cacique opens this spring on the cliffs of Playa Penca. A secluded mix of 148 guest rooms and 40 suites offers an indoor-outdoor layout of palm-trees-meet-midcentury-modern design (with the occasional eclectic splash, like a T-rex slide in the kids’ club).

Conrad, Hilton’s biggest luxury brand, will expand its presence to Greece and Germany later this year. Conrad Athens The Ilisian is slated to open in November with 307 guest rooms and suites (many of which overlook the Acropolis), a Greek-French brasserie, and an expansive pool deck. Conrad Hamburg, which is now accepting reservations for stays in October onward, on the Mönckebergstraße high street, around the corner from the city’s famed Galeria department store.

Elsewhere in Europe, the LXR brand will arrive in France this spring with the opening of Sax Paris in the city’s seventh arrondissement. The pet-friendly hotel indulges guests with a rooftop terrace, a library bar, and accommodations that range from cozy rooms to three-bedroom suites.

The Parisian addition comes as LXR is about to launch the Pursuit of Adventure program, which will offer immersive experiences and destination excursions for guests at each of the 17 hotels in the brand.

“[Luxury travelers are] embracing a balance of adventure and relaxation, creating meaningful connections, and seeking enriching experiences that go beyond the ordinary,” Michael said.
