Waldorf Astoria New York
TANNER SAUNDERS/THE POINTS GUY
Dubbed “the greatest of them all,” the original Waldorf Astoria New York is finally back in action. It reopened in 2025 after years of closure and a megarenovation that saw the hotel move from over 1,000 rooms to just 375. Those rooms, however, are full of Upper East Side charm and comfortable apartmentlike style.
In the lobby, Peacock Alley is a great place to grab a drink, people watch and listen to music while enjoying true New York glamour. And at Lex Yard, helmed by James Beard Award-winning chef Michael Anthony, dinner is a place to see and be seen — and to enjoy perfectly roasted chicken and mouthwatering cacio e pepe pasta while sipping on cocktails from cocktail master Jeff Bell. The crown jewel of Hilton’s portfolio, the Waldorf Astoria New York is truly a masterclass in hospitality, service and design.
Rates at the Waldorf Astoria New York start around $1,000 or 150,000 Hilton Honors points per night.
Waldorf Astoria Osaka
ERIC ROSEN/THE POINTS GUY
When we checked into the Waldorf Astoria Osaka shortly after opening, we dubbed it “Japan’s most gorgeous new points hotel” — and we weren’t kidding. The hotel features beautiful Andre Fu design features, 252 guest rooms between the 32nd and 38th floors with breathtaking views of sprawling Osaka, and blue accents, like carpet and pillows, that draw the outside world in.
Like all Waldorf Astoria properties, the hotel has an outpost of Peacock Alley, paying homage to the original New York City hotel but with floor-to-ceiling, double-height windows stretching across the 28th and 29th floors. Other dining options include venues serving French and Japanese fare, plus a speakeasy. And don’t miss the spa, where you can get a relaxing treatment after a busy day exploring bustling Osaka, or hit the indoor pool.
Rates at the Waldorf Astoria Osaka start around $452 or 120,000 Hilton Honors points per night.
Zemi Beach House, LXR Hotels & Resorts
Zemi Beach House is one of only a few properties that belong to Hilton’s luxury hotel brand LXR Hotels & Resorts, and the accommodations, attentive service and amenities reflect the hotel’s deluxe designation. The resort sits on 6 acres of Anguilla’s picture-perfect coastline, with direct access to Shoal Bay Beach. This boutique hotel has just 76 rooms and suites with either garden or ocean views. Each room is done up in natural hues with blue accents that mirror the sand and sea outside on your private balcony.
Zemi Beach House boasts five on-site restaurants serving fresh, seasonal dishes from around the globe. There are special dining events weekly, including a “Caribbean Beach BBQ,” a “Sushi & Jazz” night and sunset cocktails and tapas on the beach. The hotel’s Thai House Spa invokes a traditional Thai spa experience with authentic Asian massage and body treatments, a secluded pool, a yoga deck and a juice bar housed in a 300-year-old Thai structure. Other amenities include four outdoor pools, a 24-hour fitness center, tennis courts and a complimentary kids club for kids ages 4 through 12.
