Hilton Grand Vacations Chicago Downtown/Magnificent Mile

[holdaer]

Interesting that this destination is branded as Hilton Grand Vacations and not a Hilton Club.

It just appeared on the HGVC destinations website.

• This property is anticipated to open in the second quarter of 2019.

Is the a new announcement that I missed, or just ignored?

I'm surprised HGV doesn't have anything in Chicagoland. I wonder how this will play out with points, etc.

It was announced quite a while ago and it is NOT Hilton Club. It’s regular HGV. I’ve stayed in the hotel before and the location is great.

You had it back in the fall that Chicago would be regular HGVC. (From this thread: Upcoming New Resorts)

Very excited about these new resorts! Any others to add?

To make it easier, above is the list I collected from the Upcoming Resorts thread plus added Maui(!) I also noted which were conversions vs. new build to indicate how fast they will come available for reservations.

I'm thinking it's sticky time. I propose we make a sticky post that lists the official new resorts and the second post will have the rumored resorts? HGVC seems to be expanding pretty rapidly right now. Might be an easy way to keep track of the rumors and if/when they become official.

Thanks. I had a feeling the points would be higher, but they aren’t too bad.

Barbados is what I am now curious about. I expect it to be sky high, but hope their less extravagant units without the private pools aren't too bad.

Thanks. There was also some info in a thread (probably correct but not official) shared here on TUG a few months ago. The thread set the expectation for online booking to start this month. We'll see.

HGVC Elite premier can book the crane as of yesterday but only from the phone. Owners were the first to allow booking. No word about online booking right now
