-Embaassy Suites Waikiki Beach - 240K
-Hilton Waikiki (in town not on the beach) - 240K

Similarly hotels in Dublin, Ireland for the same trip
-Shelbourne (Renaissance) - 150K (and this hotel is on tourist maps it's so swank!)
-Conrad (HH) Dublin - 240K
-Hilton Dublin - 210K

Call me crazy but I'm still confident that my MR points go WAY farther than HH points.
Ok, Crazy
I know nothing about MR but;
Your profile has you as a HH silver. As such, you are eligible for VIP rewards. Another poster said Gold or Diamond but that appears to be wrong. According to the HH website, Silver is eligible also. A six night stay at a cat 6, such as Embassy Suites Waikiki or Hilton Hawaiian Village would be 175,000 Pt's. Please note that cat 5 and 4 are even less. See below for a link to that page.
