Yes, you can book a room for someone else using your Hilton Honors account. You can also pool points with others or gift points to someone else to book their own room or use in other ways.

Yes, you can use your Hilton Honors points to book a stay for a friend or family member, but the process is different depending on how you want to handle the booking. The simplest way is to book the room in your own name using your points and then call Hilton Reservations to add the other person's name as a second guest who is authorized to check in without you. Alternatively, Hilton allows you to Transfer or Pool points with another member for free; you can send up to 500,000 points per year to another account, allowing that person to book the stay directly from their own profile. It is important to note that if you book the room for someone else using your points, they typically will not receive your Elite status benefits (like free breakfast or room upgrades) unless you are also staying in the room. In 2026, Hilton's "Points Pooling" remains one of the most flexible systems in the industry, making it easy to "gift" a vacation to someone else by combining balances or transferring points directly to their account.
