Hilton Honors is paying bonus points on every stay completed between 15 October and 31 December 2026, and UAE hotels are included. Every Hilton hotel earns 1,000 bonus points a stay. Sixteen UAE hotels on Hilton’s luxury, lifestyle and resort list earn 3,000, among them both Waldorf Astorias in Dubai, Conrad Dubai and Conrad Abu Dhabi Etihad Towers. You have to register first.
The rules below come from Hilton’s own promotion terms and its list of 3,000-point hotels, both read on 19 October.
The rules that matter
- Register before you check out. Registration is on the promotion page. Hilton’s terms ask you to register “prior to completing a stay”, so a stay you already booked counts as long as you register before it ends. Stays you finished before registering do not count.
- The bonus is per stay, not per night. A one-night stay and a week-long stay at the same hotel earn the same bonus. Checking out and back in again does not help: Hilton counts consecutive nights at one hotel as one stay.
- The stay must finish by 31 December. A stay that started before 15 October counts if it ends on or after that date. A stay that runs past 31 December does not count.
- No cap. Hilton sets no limit on the number of bonus points you can earn in the promotion. Separate limits on base points at some brands still apply.
- Exclusions. Group bookings do not qualify. The offer cannot be combined with “other select offers”, which Hilton does not name.
- Bonus points do not count towards elite status. They can take six to eight weeks after checkout to post.
The terms say nothing about where you book or how many nights you stay. Hilton’s FAQ asks “Are all rates included in this promotion?”, but its answer did not load when we read the page. LoyaltyLobby reproduces Hilton’s answer as “No” and does not list the excluded rates. Hilton has not said which rates are excluded, so book a standard member rate if you want to be safe. We could not confirm whether award stays earn the bonus.
The 16 UAE hotels on the 3,000-point list
Hilton’s list gives hotel names but not countries. We searched the full list for UAE locations and found 16. LoyaltyLobby’s country-sorted copy of the list has the same 16 under the UAE.
- Dubai (9): Al Seef Heritage Hotel Dubai, Curio Collection; Canopy by Hilton Dubai Al Seef; Conrad Dubai; DoubleTree by Hilton Dubai – Jumeirah Beach; Hilton Dubai Jumeirah; Hilton Dubai Palm Jumeirah; Hilton Dubai The Walk; Waldorf Astoria Dubai International Financial Centre; Waldorf Astoria Dubai Palm Jumeirah.
- Abu Dhabi (4): Conrad Abu Dhabi Etihad Towers; Royal Rose Hotel Abu Dhabi, Curio Collection; The Mangroves Abu Dhabi, LXR Hotels & Resorts; The WB Abu Dhabi, Curio Collection.
- Ras Al Khaimah (3): DoubleTree by Hilton Resort & Spa Marjan Island; Hampton by Hilton Marjan Island; Waldorf Astoria Ras Al Khaimah.
Any other Hilton-brand hotel in the UAE earns the 1,000-point bonus.
Is it worth it?
We value a Hilton Honors point at 1.5 fils, so 3,000 points are worth about AED 45 and 1,000 points about AED 15. The bonus is the same however long you stay, so it adds the most to a short stay. A one-night staycation at one of the 16 hotels, or a weekend on Marjan Island, gains proportionally more than a week-long stay.
It is not a reason to book a stay you did not want. But if a Hilton stay is already planned before 31 December, including over National Day, it takes two minutes to register. Our Hilton Honors guide explains how the programme works. Accor is running a separate offer on UAE hotels, with a triple-points promotion that must be booked by 25 October.
Verified on 19 October 2026 against Hilton’s promotion terms, FAQ page and list of 3,000-point hotels. The FAQ answers did not load, so the rates answer is LoyaltyLobby’s reproduction of Hilton’s FAQ. AED values use our 1.5-fils baseline.
