    Any reason why Hilton Honors Category is not listed anywhere? Maybe I am missing it on the website… Even when you try to book with points, no rate comes up.

    CurioCollection.com website states
    “Properties identified with a * have signed letters of intent” and all properties listed have an asterisk.

    Still working hotels into the HHonors system is my guess.
