Once officially rebranded a Conrad, the property should participate fully in the loyalty program.
Pretty much exactly what you said -

The London NYC will reflag as the Conrad New York Midtown sometime next year or in 2019 after renovations. It would seem that at that point, the property will be fully participating in Hilton Honors.
