Looking for a top-noch nightout anywhere in NYC, using Hilton points.
Any ideas?
zek:
Waldorf Astoriia Tower maybe? That costs a ton of points.
Without using too many pts, maybe the best is Doubletree Times Square. The Conrad is new and supposedly nice but it's not in a typical touristy neighborhood.

I got the Conrad for two nights next week at $129 per night for a Deluxe King Suite using Hilton's friends and family sale (1/2 off through January 7th 2013). The Millennium Hilton was also available for $114 per night. The Waldorf was available for a few nights at about $150, but I don't think you will find anymore rooms at the W=A at that rate. You can access the sale here: http://hhonors3.hilton.com/en/offers/100040020.htm?WT.mc_id=zCBWAJM0US1HN2REP4ThankYouSale5Thankyou7GW841255
The Conrad is actually owned by Goldman Sachs who's New York office is adjacent to the hotel. When the financial crisis hit, they started forcing employees visiting the NY office to stay there (rather than at the nearby Ritz Carlton or more luxurious digs in midtown). At the time, it was an Embassy Suites. Rumor has it, that the property was revamped and upgraded to a Conrad to assuage the feelings of the bankers who couldn't handle mingling with commoners at the complimentary happy hour over plastic cups of bud-light and chex-mix, or the thought of "only" getting an Embassy Suites. All the rooms there are suites.

I see the Conrad is now available at just $114 on the sale.

I think the OP wants to use Hilton points and not cash.
