Can I book a stay at a hotel that is not part of the Hilton chain?

Hilton HHonors primarily focuses on reservations for hotels that are part of the Hilton portfolio, which includes brands such as Hilton, DoubleTree, Hampton, and others. Therefore, members typically book stays exclusively within the Hilton family of hotels to earn points and enjoy member benefits. However, there are circumstances in which members can use their Hilton HHonors points for stays at hotels that are not part of the Hilton chain, specifically through the Points & Money option or by utilizing the Hilton HHonors Travel Partners program. This program allows members to convert their points for use with various travel-related services, which may include booking accommodations at select non-Hilton properties, though options may be limited and vary by location. To fully understand the details and availability, it is advisable to check the Hilton HHonors website or the specific terms and conditions related to these programs.
