Eleven YOTEL hotels now book through Hilton

Eleven YOTEL properties are live in Hilton’s booking channels. The Gate reported the milestone on 8 October 2026. Hilton Honors members can book those hotels direct and earn or redeem points on eligible stays. A direct booking through Hilton’s own channels also carries the member benefits that attach to it.

YOTEL’s partnership page lists eleven properties where members earn points today: New York Times Square, Bangkok Sukhumvit, Geneva Lake, Glasgow, Boston, Amsterdam, Washington DC, YOTELPAD London Stratford, Miami, San Francisco and Edinburgh.

Select by Hilton is the route in

Hilton announced the exclusive agreement with YOTEL on Thursday 19 March 2026. YOTEL became the first independent brand on Hilton’s distribution platform under Select by Hilton.

The Gate reported the integration as a step in the expansion of where Hilton Honors members can stay, earn and redeem points.

YOTEL keeps its name, its management and its licensing

YOTEL continues to manage and license its brand. The company states a goal of more than tripling its portfolio in the coming years. YOTEL launched in London in 2007. The brand works an asset-light model and partners with long-term investors on design-led properties.

The rooms run on technology. The YOTEL SmartBed converts from a flatbed to a sofa at the touch of a button. The company also uses automated luggage storage. The Gate names YOTEL hotels in New York, Tokyo, Amsterdam, Glasgow and Singapore.

The rollout ran in phases from July

YOTEL’s partnership page records the sequence. YOTEL hotels began joining Hilton on 15 July 2026, and the company expected all participating hotels to be live by mid-September 2026. YOTEL Club closed to members on 15 July 2026. The company contacted members ahead of that date with details on joining Hilton Honors and on the welcome offer.

Bookings made direct on yotel.com become eligible for Hilton Honors points once the hotel moves into Hilton’s systems. Hilton matches the booking data to a Hilton Honors account, and the stay then appears in the member’s account. Hilton Honors benefits attach to direct bookings.

YOTEL states that Hilton Honors opens points and perks at more than 9,000 Hilton hotels worldwide.

Three property groups sit in a second phase

YOTEL describes the integration as a phased approach. The company states that its YOTELAIR properties, YOTEL Istanbul Airport and YOTEL Manchester Deansgate were not part of the first phase. YOTEL intends to integrate them in a second phase and has set no target date for that phase.

YOTEL Club benefits stay in place until that hotel joins Hilton Honors. A member then earns and redeems points across more than 9,000 hotels worldwide.

What a member keeps

YOTEL states that current YOTEL Club bookings made directly on yotel.com are unaffected by the transition. The company states that a direct booking on yotel.com carries the best price at its properties globally. Hilton’s member benefits page carries the full Hilton Honors benefit breakdown for every tier.

Where the property names sit

YOTEL’s partnership page carries the brand-level timetable and the eleven properties where members earn points today.
