Can the Hilton Gift Card be used outside of the U.S.?
Yes, The Hilton Gift Card is accepted at all hotels within the Hilton Portfolio.

What this does not tell us is the exchange rate applied when the card is used at a property which does not bill in USD.

How are transactions made in foreign currencies processed?
If you make a purchase at an establishment in a foreign currency, it will be converted into U.S. dollars on the date it is processed
by us or our agents. Unless a particular rate is required by applicable law, you authorize us to choose a conversion rate that is
acceptable to us for that date. Currently, the conversion rate we use for a transaction in a foreign currency is no greater than (a) the
highest official conversion rate published by a government agency, or (b) the highest interbank conversion rate identified by us from
customary banking sources on the conversion date or the prior business day. This conversion rate may differ from rates in effect on
the day of your transactions. Charges converted by Merchants will be billed at the rates these Merchants use. We will not charge a
conversion fee for transactions made in foreign currencies
