I think so. I earned enough Hilton points last year from stays averaging around $100/night at US properties to redeem for three nights at the Conrad Hong Kong this year. Not only that, but the status gets me upgrades, free internet, free breakfast etc.
Saying I need to stay somewhere while traveling anyway, I may as well leverage it into some benefits.
