In the months ahead, all Hilton guests will be able to experience stays that blend the spirit of the iconic outdoor adventure with the hospitality and design-forward thinking of a boutique hotel. While the details are scarce, there are a few knowns at this time:

• Hilton Honors members will be able to both earn and redeem Hilton Honors points at participating AutoCamp properties.
• AutoCamp properties will be available for booking via all Hilton Honors channels (i.e. website, app, etc).
• Hilton Honors members will be able to enjoy exclusive, member only benefits.

There are no details on the potential benefits for each Hilton Honors status level at this time.

Final Thoughts

The partnership with AutoCamp is the second major partnership announcement from Hilton in 2024, along with the Small Luxury Hotels partnership. The unique partnership gives Hilton a foothold in the rapidly growing National Park accommodation segment. This bodes well for Hilton, as the options for convenient accommodations near National Parks have traditionally been a “black-out” area for major hotel chains and award night redemptions. As with the Small Luxury Hotels partnership, two questions remain. First, what benefits do Hilton Honors members receive when booking an AutoCamp property or experience. Second, what redemption rates will AutoCamp properties require under the Hilton dynamic award pricing model.
