The Guide to Hilton Diamond Status
The Guide to Hilton Diamond Status-December 2024
Dec 23, 2024 2:22 AM

Are you a Hilton loyalist? Do you arrive in a city, scope out the nearest Hilton property, and settle in without looking elsewhere? Hilton rewards its frequent customers with an elite status program that offers suite upgrades, food and beverage credits and executive lounge access, so it’s no surprise that many travelers seek out its hotels.

Here's a look at Hilton Diamond status, the benefits that this top-tier elite status provides and how much it’s worth.

Hilton Diamond benefits

Sitting at the top of the four tiers of the Hilton Honors loyalty program, Hilton’s Diamond elite status comes with an impressive array of perks. This includes:

100% bonus on points. Diamond members earn an additional 100% bonus on all Hilton Honors points earned during stays.

Room upgrades. Those with Diamond status can be upgraded to a one-bedroom suite, if available.

Executive lounge access. Diamonds receive access to the lounge no matter their room type.

48-hour room guarantee. The Diamond guarantee allows members to book rooms at sold-out hotels with at least 48 hours of notice.

Elite status gifting. Diamonds can gift Gold elite status to other members once they’ve stayed 40 nights per year. They can gift Diamond status after staying 70 nights per year.

No resort fees on award stays. This benefit is awarded at all tiers of status; it can save up to $45 per night in some locations.

Complimentary WiFi. Diamond members are entitled to premium complimentary internet.

Free bottled water. This benefit starts at Silver elite status but applies to Diamonds as well.

Fifth night free. Silver elite members and above receive the fifth night free on award stays.

Diamond status extension. Allows for a one-time extension of elite status after meeting eligible criteria.

Daily food and beverage credit or complimentary breakfast. Gold members and above receive a credit (in the U.S.) or free breakfast when staying with Hilton.

Late check-out. Diamond members can request up to a 4 p.m. check out.

Can Hilton Diamond members check in early? Unfortunately, this isn't guaranteed, even for top-tier status holders. Availability varies by property, but it never hurts to ask.

How to get Hilton Diamond status

There are four different ways to become a Hilton Diamond member, though some are more challenging than others. However, for 2022, Hilton has reduced its requirements for earning elite status by 30%, making it easier to earn status.

Stays

If you’re trying to become a Diamond member based on the number of stays, you’ll need to complete 21 stays in a calendar year. This can be good for those who frequently stay a single night in a Hilton hotel.
