Hilton releases list of Premium Clubs open to Diamond Reserve members

5

At the end of 2025, Hilton Honors announced the creation of a new top-tier elite status: Diamond Reserve. One of the exclusive benefits of this spendy status was complimentary entry into what Hilton described as “Premium Clubs.”

Premium Clubs are supposed to be elevated lounge experiences with additional food and beverage options, but they are accessible only by paying an extra fee or being a Diamond Reserve member. There was just one problem: no one at Hilton seemed to know how many Premium Clubs there were, or where exactly they were located.

Now that’s been rectified. Loyalty Lobby discovered that Hilton Honors now has a dedicated web page for premium lounges…all eleven of them.

Quick Thoughts

After Hilton announced that Premium Club entry would be a Diamond Reserve benefit, the running joke became, “So exclusive, not even Hilton knows where they are.” Now, we have a full list, and it’s a whopping eleven properties. There are five in the Middle East, one in Europe, one in Mexico, and four in the US.

I visited the Sakura Club in DC as part of a Hilton function, and it was a nice enough club. It seemed like the equivalent of a decent Asian lounge, but with a fraction of the usage of a normal Hilton Club. They would undoubtedly be attractive to someone who’s spending enough with Hilton to reach the $18K annual minimum for Diamond Reserve.

Taking a quick tour around the various options, they all look fairly nice (I’m especially intrigued by the Hotel del Coronado Ocean Club). That said, with only eleven locations worldwide, it would seem to be a pretty marginal benefit for most travelers. If you happen to be visiting one of those eleven properties, it will be a great perk. At the other ~9,000 Hilton properties around the world, it won’t mean much.

I know two of those lounges and the its been a bone of contention for years because the hotel’s had refused to allow Diamond’s access to them saying they were not ‘executive lounges’ but instead calling them say ‘Imperial Club’. The number of complaints that Hilton Diamond line likely got about them, lol. Level 45 lounge in the Conrad Abu Dhabi Etihad Towers is stunning with good food and drink options.

The Imperial Club at Rome Cavalieri used to be so much better but in recent years they really scaled it back. Very disappointed that didn’t include the Napua lounge at Grand Wailea.

I assume the venue at Conrad Abu Dhabi is “Level 45”? Etihad Towers is the location of the property, not a venue within it (I see this is what is listed on the Hilton page, so it’s not an FM issue – but weird that they didn’t identify the actual venue).

100% It’ll be Level 45.
