There is only one week left to take advantage of the double points promotion that Hilton Honors is running - from now until 03 May 2017, purchase at least 5,000 Hilton Honors Points and get 100% more! With that being said, you should only take advantage of this promotion if you have an intended use for the Hilton Honors Points.

From now until 08 February 2016, purchase Hilton HHonors Points with an 80% bonus. Just as an example, you used to be able to get 1,000 Hilton HHonors Points at US$10. With the same US$10 now, you will get 1,800 Hilton HHonors Points instead - an 80% bonus! If you are thinking about heading down to the DoubleTree by Hilton Johor Bahru for the long weekend ahead (or whenever you want), check if there is any availability on points because it will definitely save you quite a bit! 

With Chinese New Year set menus going over S$4,000++ a table in Singapore, maybe it's not a bad idea to consider the DoubleTree by Hilton Johor Bahru instead. Opt for the more casual Prosperity Buffet Dinner (RM128 Nett per adult) or the more indulgent Prosperity Set Dinner (RM 1,588 Nett per table of 10 guests) complete with a private dining area. 

Christmas is just around the corner and if you have no plans for the upcoming New Year's Eve next week, check out what the DoubleTree by Hilton Johor Bahru has to offer! In fact, while you are there, consider staying in one of the beautifully-appointed One-Bedroom Suites or the Deluxe/Executive Rooms. Countdown to a brand new 2016 at Makan Kitchen or Tosca! 

I have stayed at the DoubleTree by Hilton Johor Bahru a couple of times in a One Bedroom Suite and an Executive Room. The DoubleTree by Hilton Johor Bahru is located approximately 15 minutes drive from the Woodlands Checkpoint (provided there is no congestion) and being a Category 1 hotel, it is extremely worth it at just 5,000 Hilton HHonors Points a night. The hotel is however going to become a Category 2 hotel soon so be sure to redeem your Hilton Honors points early!

The Doubletree by Hilton Hotel Johor Bahru is located just minutes away after clearing the Woodlands Checkpoint. In fact, due to its proximity, it is very possible for you visit even if you are not driving - simply take a bus into Johor Bahru and then flag a taxi from there (less than RM5 on meter) or if you are feeling a little adventurous, take a walk!  Check out my review of the Executive Room here! 

 One of the best things about being in Singapore is that you are always a short flight or drive away from another country. I decided to check out one of the latest Hilton properties in the region which is just a short drive away from Singapore (not factoring in the traffic congestion which may happen of course) - the Doubletree by Hilton Hotel Johor Bahru. Check out the amazing One-Bedroom Suite here! 

To celebrate the new opening of DoubleTree by Hilton Johor Bahru, you will earn a bonus of 1,000 Hilton HHonors Points per night for stays until 31 December 2014. You may only earn up to a maximum of 5,000 Hilton HHonors Points per stay.
