Hilton has released the latest list of properties which will be changing categories.  Starting on July 9, 2014, 24 properties will increase categories while 15 properties will decrease.  Lets take a look at some of the properties which will be changing.

Notable Properties

A few notable properties are decreasing categories.  For example, the Conrad Beijing & the Fiji Beach Resort are both decreasing from Category 8 hotels down to category 7.

Three properties are actually moving from category 6 down to category 4.  These properties are: DoubleTree Suites Omaha, Hampton Inn Greenfield & Hampton Inn Indianapolis/Fisher.

Among the properties increasing categories, there are a few noticeable ones as well. Both the DoubleTree Resort in Key West and the Doubletree in Breckenridge, CO are moving up two categories from 6 to 8!

There are also a couple of increases in the Orlando area as both the DoubleTree Hotel in Lake Buena Vista & the Hilton Lake Buena Vista are moving from categories 5 to 6.

Conclusion

This list isn’t bad and is just a normal adjustment as part of doing business.  As rates change in different areas and for different properties, companies like Hilton have to adjust their redemption costs in order to remain profitable.  I have no issue with a minor adjustment like this.
