HotelXray now supports Hilton alongside Hyatt and Marriott, and later added IHG. The same Chrome extension brings cash rates, Hilton Honors points, club lounge details, and alerts to hilton.com. Existing users can enable Hilton access in the latest version and use HotelXray on every supported website.

For Hilton Honors members, that means comparing dates, hotels, and reward types in one side panel while browsing Hilton’s website.

Compare an entire month

On a Hilton hotel page, HotelXray brings cash rates, points prices, and cents-per-point values together in a monthly calendar. Stronger redemption values are shaded green, so dates worth a closer look stand out as results load.

HotelXray calendar for Waldorf Astoria Maldives Ithaafushi in November 2026, with the Aspire Resort Credit badge: nights with a Standard Room Reward show 250,000 points, the others a Premium Room Reward from 470,000 to 540,000 points, each with a cash rate and CPP
A month at Waldorf Astoria Maldives Ithaafushi, with Standard and Premium nights side by side.

Explore exact or flexible dates, then check the rooms and rates for the stay you want. A cheaper Standard Room Reward on another date may make moving your trip worthwhile; a low cash rate may make saving your points the better choice.

Refresh rates whenever you need a fresh check. On-demand refreshes are free, with no quotas or credits to manage.

Compare hotels from the search page

HotelXray also works alongside Hilton search results. Each hotel in the panel shows a week of points, cash, and redemption values, so you can compare the hotels you’re considering without opening every listing. Sold-out nights are marked with ✕ rather than left blank.

The Club badge marks hotels with researched lounges, so you can spot them while you compare prices and locations.

Two Hilton search results in New York for November 8 to 14: New York Hilton Midtown with a Club badge, from 70,000 points and $367, and Hampton Inn Manhattan-Times Square Central, from 50,000 points and $238, with ✕ on Wednesday November 11
A week per hotel, with ✕ on a sold-out night.

Find resorts for your Amex Aspire credit

If you’re choosing a stay to use your Hilton Honors American Express Aspire Card’s resort credit, look for the Aspire Resort Credit badge beside the hotel name. HotelXray shows it in search results and on the hotel detail page, so you can spot participating resorts while comparing cash rates and points availability.

The Aspire Resort Credit badge marks a participating resort. Rates and points shown are illustrative.

Use the calendar to find a date within your budget, or set a Hilton cash-rate alert for a resort you want to visit. The badge draws on Hilton’s eligible-resort list; check that your chosen rate and charges meet your card’s resort-credit terms before booking.

Filter by reward type

Hilton sells two kinds of award: a Standard Room Reward for the hotel’s base rooms, and a Premium Room Reward for better rooms at a higher points price. The Reward Type filter switches the panel between All, Standard, and Premium, so a calendar or search list can show only the award family you would actually book.

The Waldorf Astoria Maldives Ithaafushi calendar with Reward Type set to Standard: 12 November nights show 250,000 points, a cash rate and CPP, and the nights with only a Premium Room Reward show ✕
Standard keeps only the nights a Standard Room Reward can book.

Show points and cash together or on their own, include taxes where Hilton provides them, and choose your preferred cash display currency.

Explore rooms and rates

Open a date to see rooms grouped by Standard and Premium Room Rewards, with rooms sold only for cash listed after them. Each room shows its cheapest cash rate, its points price and the CPP between the two. Because CPP uses that same room’s cash rate, a Premium Room Reward is judged against the room it actually buys, not the cheapest room in the hotel.

Rooms for Monday November 9: King Beach Villa with Pool under Standard Room Reward at $2,270 or 250,000 points, 0.91¢, and King Reef Villa with Pool under Premium Room Reward at $3,658 or 470,000 points, 0.78¢, each noting that the cash price includes the $260 resort fee
Each Room Reward is compared with its own villa's cash rate.

Research club lounges before choosing a hotel

Compare the breakfast, evening food, and everyday convenience an executive lounge adds to your stay. HotelXray’s free lounge reports cover:

  • Location and opening hours
  • Breakfast, including service outside the lounge
  • Evening food and drinks, with extra charges called out
  • Service days, guest restrictions, and known closures

Diamond members and guests in executive rooms often have access, but the hours and what is served vary widely by property. Reading the report next to the rate comparison shows whether the lounge is worth choosing one hotel over another. The Hilton executive lounge guide explains Honors lounge access, executive rooms and how to judge whether access is worth the room premium.

Set rate and award alerts

When your preferred rate or award isn’t available, set an alert from a hotel result or calendar date. HotelXray keeps checking after you close the browser.

Watch for a Standard Room Reward, a Premium Room Reward or either one, with one points budget for the stay, or watch for a cash rate below your price. Watch exact or flexible dates, or any single night within a range, and keep watching after the first match to hear about another price drop or newly available award.

The Set alert form for Waldorf Astoria Maldives Ithaafushi with dates of October 14 to 15 and ±1 day, Points selected with Standard checked under Room Rewards and no points limit
One alert watching for a Standard Room Reward.

Every alert includes an Alert check log showing when each check ran, what it found, and which results matched. Match emails include the stay, the qualifying rate or Room Reward, and direct booking links.
