Hilton has officially opened reservations for its new Apartment Collection, a brand designed for travelers seeking apartment-style accommodations with the benefits of Hilton Honors. The first two properties are now live, and Honors members can both earn and redeem points—plus enjoy elite perks—when booking these stays.
Our Take
Good news for Hilton loyalists and extended-stay travelers. Hilton’s Apartment Collection finally brings the reliability and rewards of the Honors program to the booming apartment-style lodging segment. This is a smart move that gives members more options to earn and burn points, especially for longer stays or family trips where a kitchen and extra space matter.
What Changed
- Hilton’s Apartment Collection now accepts reservations at its first two properties (as of June 2026)
- Honors members earn points at standard Hilton rates (10x base points per $1, plus elite bonuses)
- Elite status perks (late checkout, upgrades, etc.) are honored at Apartment Collection properties
- Points redemptions are available, with dynamic pricing similar to other Hilton brands (typically 0.4¢/point by our valuation)
Who Benefits Most
- Hilton Honors elites booking extended stays: A 7-night stay at $250/night earns 17,500 base points, worth ~$70 at our 0.4¢/point valuation, plus elite bonuses (up to 20,125 points for Diamond, worth ~$80.50)
- Families needing kitchen space: Apartment-style rooms with full kitchens and living areas, plus the ability to redeem points for longer stays
- Road warriors on project assignments: Earning elite night credits and points for stays that would otherwise go to Airbnb or non-chain apartments
- Hilton cardholders maximizing spend: Using the Hilton Aspire or Hilton Surpass cards for 14x/12x points per $1, stacking with base earnings for up to 34x total (worth ~13.6% back)
Who Should Be Cautious
- Points maximizers seeking outsized value: Hilton’s dynamic pricing means you’ll rarely get more than 0.4¢/point in value, so cash bookings may be better for low-priced dates
- Travelers loyal to other chains: Marriott and Hyatt have their own apartment-style brands; if you’re not in the Hilton ecosystem, this won’t move the needle
- Short-stay guests: Apartment Collection is optimized for longer stays; for one-night trips, traditional Hilton brands may offer better value or amenities
What To Do Right Now
- Check the Apartment Collection’s first two properties for your upcoming travel dates—availability is limited as the brand ramps up.
- Compare cash vs. points pricing; use our 0.4¢/point valuation to decide if redeeming points makes sense for your stay.
- If you have Hilton elite status, confirm which perks (late checkout, upgrades) are offered at these properties before booking.
- Use a Hilton co-branded card for bookings to maximize points earnings.
- Track new Apartment Collection openings—more locations are expected soon, expanding options for Honors members.
