Request Your Hilton for Luxury Rate →What Is the Hilton for Luxury Program?
Hilton for Luxury is Hilton Worldwide's exclusive preferred-partner program for accredited luxury travel advisors. Previously known as Hilton Impresario, the program grants guests booked through a participating travel advisor a curated set of VIP benefits at Hilton's luxury hotel brands: Waldorf Astoria Hotels & Resorts, Conrad Hotels & Resorts, LXR Hotels & Resorts, NoMad Hotels, Signia by Hilton, and Curio Collection by Hilton.
Unlike a discount program, Hilton for Luxury layers complimentary added-value benefits on top of the hotel's best available rate - so the nightly price is identical to what you would pay booking direct on hilton.com, but the stay includes hundreds of dollars of complimentary inclusions per night. StarsDesk is an authorized Hilton for Luxury travel agency, meaning every Waldorf Astoria, Conrad, LXR, NoMad, Signia, and Curio Collection by Hilton reservation we book qualifies for the full program benefits.
The program is part of Hilton's broader strategy to compete with luxury consortia such as Virtuoso, American Express Fine Hotels & Resorts, Four Seasons Preferred Partner, Hyatt Privé, Marriott STARS, and Rosewood Elite - each of which offers a similar advisor-channel-only set of perks at their respective hotel collections.
Hilton's Luxury Portfolio - Six Brands at a Glance
Hilton Hotels & Resorts operates one of the most diverse luxury portfolios in the hospitality industry. Every property within the six brands below qualifies for the full Hilton for Luxury benefits package when booked through StarsDesk.
Waldorf Astoria Hotels & Resorts
The flagship of Hilton's luxury collection and the spiritual heir to the legendary Waldorf Astoria New York founded in 1893. Today the brand spans 30+ landmark properties - from Waldorf Astoria Maldives Ithaafushi and Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills to Waldorf Astoria Bangkok, Waldorf Astoria Cancun, Waldorf Astoria Versailles, and Waldorf Astoria Lusail Doha. Waldorf Astoria represents Hilton's highest service tier and is the brand most frequently requested through the Hilton for Luxury program.
Conrad Hotels & Resorts
Named for founder Conrad Hilton, Conrad is the brand built around contemporary luxury travel - modern design, intuitive service, and a strong urban / resort dual presence. Notable properties include Conrad Bangkok, Conrad Maldives Rangali Island, Conrad Algarve, Conrad Tokyo, Conrad Bali, Conrad New York Downtown, Conrad Washington DC, and Conrad Cairo. Conrad properties are popular for Hilton for Luxury bookings due to consistent five-star service and the $100 hotel credit pairing well with Conrad's strong spa and dining programs.
LXR Hotels & Resorts
LXR Hotels & Resorts is Hilton's collection of independent landmark luxury hotels - each property retains its individual character while gaining access to Hilton Honors and the Hilton for Luxury benefits. Properties include Habtoor Palace Dubai, The Biltmore Mayfair London, Zemi Beach House Anguilla, Mango House Seychelles, and Susona Bodrum.
NoMad Hotels
Acquired by Hilton in 2023, NoMad Hotels brings cosmopolitan European design sensibility to Hilton's luxury portfolio. NoMad London and NoMad New York are the flagship properties; the brand is rapidly expanding into key gateway cities and is a premium pick within Hilton for Luxury for design-forward travelers.
Signia by Hilton
Signia by Hilton is Hilton's premier brand for sophisticated meetings, conferences, and events married to luxury leisure stays - properties such as Signia by Hilton Atlanta and Signia by Hilton Orlando feature large-scale event infrastructure alongside full luxury amenities. Qualifies for Hilton for Luxury benefits on all leisure bookings.
Curio Collection by Hilton
Curio Collection by Hilton is a curated portfolio of upper-upscale and luxury independent hotels handpicked for their distinctive character. With 130+ properties globally - including SLS South Beach, The David Citadel Jerusalem, and The Sam Houston Hotel Houston - Curio brings the Hilton for Luxury benefits package to properties that would otherwise sit outside a chain-loyalty program. Note: not every Curio property qualifies for Hilton for Luxury - verify with your StarsDesk advisor before booking.
Hilton for Luxury Benefits - What You Receive on Every Stay
Every Hilton for Luxury reservation booked through StarsDesk includes the following complimentary benefits at participating Waldorf Astoria, Conrad, LXR, NoMad, Signia, and Curio Collection by Hilton properties. Benefits are layered on top of Hilton Honors loyalty earnings - guests with Hilton Honors status retain all elite benefits in addition to the program perks below.

Booking Direct vs. Booking Hilton for Luxury Through StarsDesk
The same nightly rate. A completely different stay. The comparison below shows what you receive when you book a Waldorf Astoria, Conrad, LXR, NoMad, Signia, or Curio Collection by Hilton stay through StarsDesk's Hilton for Luxury access versus booking direct on hilton.com.
| Benefit | Direct (hilton.com) | StarsDesk (Hilton for Luxury) |
|---|---|---|
| Same nightly rate | ✓ | ✓ |
| Hilton Honors points | ✓ | ✓ |
| Daily breakfast for two | ✗ | ✓ |
| $100 hotel credit | ✗ | ✓ |
| Room upgrade on arrival | ✗ | ✓ |
| Early check-in / late check-out | ✗ | ✓ |
| VIP welcome amenity | ✗ | ✓ |
| Dedicated travel advisor support | ✗ | ✓ |

Because Hilton for Luxury benefits are funded by the hotel - not deducted from your rate - there is no premium for booking through StarsDesk. Your nightly cost is identical to booking direct.
