Members of the Hilton Honors membership program with Diamond Reserve elite status must choose between access to a premium club and the daily dining credit at this particular hotel property — but is this an official policy at other hotel and resort properties that feature a premium club?
Hilton Diamond Reserve Members Must Choose Between Premium Club Access and Dining Credit at This Hotel Property
I am currently staying as a guest in Conrad Las Vegas at Resorts World. When I checked into this hotel property yesterday afternoon, Wednesday, April 22, 2026, I was initially given the food and beverage credit of $25.00 per person per day…
…but when I asked about access to the Club 66 VIP Lounge as a Diamond Reserve member, the agent behind the front desk was unsure and had to ask a colleague or manager about what exactly is the policy. She returned a few minutes later and said that I had to choose which benefit I prefer: access to the premium lounge; or the food and beverage credit to three dining establishments that are on the property.
I thought that was odd and was not expecting that; but I chose access to the premium club. I intend to write about my experience in an article in the future.
The list of 13 premium clubs of Hilton worldwide include:
EGYPT
- Rosetta Club Waldorf Astoria Cairo Heliopolis
ITALY
- Imperial Club Roma Cavalieri, a Waldorf Astoria Hotel
JORDAN
- Club Signia Amman
MEXICO
- Ceiba Club Conrad Tulum
QATAR
- Waldorf Astoria Doha West Bay
UNITED ARAB EMIRATES
- Conrad Abu Dhabi Etihad Towers
- Pearl Club Waldorf Astoria Palm Jumeirah
UNITED STATES – ARIZONA
- Citrus Club LXR Biltmore
UNITED STATES – CALIFORNIA
- Ocean Club Hotel del Coronado
UNITED STATES – DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA
- Sakura Club Conrad DC
UNITED STATES – GEORGIA
- Club Signia Atlanta
UNITED STATES – NEVADA
- Club 66 VIP Lounge Resorts World Las Vegas
UNITED STATES – OHIO
- The Club at Hilton, Hilton Cleveland Downtown
Final Boarding Call
This experience has me wondering: must members who have earned Diamond Reserve elite status with the Hilton Honors membership program choose between access to a premium lounge and the standard credit for food and beverages?
I will give an update on this policy as soon as I find out the answer to this question…
