Hilton leak shows new “Diamond Reserve” elite tier with $18K spend

Looks like Hilton’s adding a new top tier above Diamond called Diamond Reserve, spotted in their internal system. It reportedly needs 80 nights plus $18,000 in spend per year and the color’s black instead of purple. No details yet on benefits, but hopefully it means confirmed suite upgrades and guaranteed late checkout at last. There’s also talk of a hidden invite-only “Honor Society” level for owners or VIPs. Sounds like Hilton’s finally trying to fix its weak elite perks.
