So unless you can’t live without Hilton we can vote with your wallets elsewhere
While I do enjoy a handful of their properties the reality is no guarantee of a late check out
a meager elite breakfast domestically iffy suite upgrades at best and now simply overpriced rooms on award and revenue
So for myself with rare exceptions I’m done with them
Did I say the lack of heads up from the Hilton Dishonors Ponzi scheme corporate management?
The good news is Marriott ande IHG are 100% uncapped for their room rates on points, so enjoy.

Most expensive London hotel on random dates in summer 2025:

Hilton: 100k (Dukes)
Marriott: 128.5k (London EDITION)
IHG: 120k (intercontinental Park Lane)

FWIW, the FNC you get for the Hilton Aspire will actually cover a night at Dukes. Not so much a Marriott or IHG hotel in that price range.

Hyatt's definitely better pricewise for points but that's going to be a Chase UR transfer thing... good thing Hyatt hasn't been jacking prices and putting hotels in Category 8 lately, huh?
