Everyone should send a note to Hilton asking them to publish their hotels by category in addition to having to search by city per Rick’s comment

As a software engineer, I agree that they should be able to provide that search option fairly easily.

As a Hilton website user, I know that they can’t even keep me logged in for more than a minute or two most of the time, and page transitions frequently lead to log-outs. I’d prefer the fix that first before adding features (but I have little hope to see that addressed any time soon).

“Avid Flyertalkers” aren’t necessarily a huge percentage of their customer base.

When you are an avid FlyerTalker the whole world is here for touring. Over the years I have found myself looking for a good value for my points.

Sometimes I want to know where I can travel and stay for a week in a low category hotel. This is how Malaysia and Egypt first came in my sights.

Sometimes I want to know where the high category hotels are located and choose from those options. Particularly when it comes to beach resorts. Maldives, Seychelles, Bali, Mauritius. Getting a listing of all Category 7 HHonors hotels can be useful when no destination is predetermined for the vacation.

Hilton HHonors could easily provide the search option to check by category. Marriott, Hyatt, and Starwood provide this option.

While I hate the Hilton websites, I don’t think I can fault them here much. My guess is they didn’t design it with your research in mind The average traveler probably has a pretty good idea where they want to go and is looking for a hotel within a country.

Hilton’s website is horrible for quickly searching hotels in a particular category.

You need to search by country for Category 1 hotels. There is no way to quickly see where all the Category 1 hotels are located without a country by country search.

Any idea about how to search for “opportunity” category hotels on their website? They seem to not reveal the category of the hotel in a straightforward way. I don’t have many points and I need them to stretch!
