I am glad that HGVC is adding new properties to the portfolio, however since HGVC is slow to update the website with the newest properties, would it be possible to create a sticky for hidden resorts, the associated points charts and seasons, and non-standard club reservation windows based on our collective knowledge e.g. here is a start:

Hidden Properties:

Washington DC: The District by HC (44 days prior to checkout)
Hilton Head Island, SC: Ocean Oak by HGVC (9 Months?)
Orlando, FL: Las Palmeras by HGVC (9 months?)
New York, NY: The Residences by HC (44 days prior to checkout, opens 2018)
Japanese Properties (listed on new website but no points charts and calendar)

Non-standard club windows:

Grand Islander (6 months)
Hokoulani (6 months)
W 57th (44 days)


Lastly, is it possible to make reservations for the NY residences or Japanese properties yet? What is the club window and points charts for these properties?

You could add the Grand Mayan and Grand Luxxe to that. Good idea.

HGVC's online Club Member Guide doesn't do a good job of covering the resorts available through their SFX partnership. There is a little discussion about it here - http://www.hgvclubprogram.com/sfx-preferred-resorts/

However the Grand Mayan and Grand Luxxe points charts can be found on the Hgvc.com website and new Club website.
http://www.hiltongrandvacations.com/mexico/ (see the point chart tab for each resort)
https://club.hiltongrandvacations.com/en/resort#/filter/868C72DE-58D4-41AD-9CFD-78B3FF95198E (there is a link to the downloadable point charts under the Resort Overview section. You might have to click on additional details or scroll to the bottom)

The Club Reservation window for the following Hilton club properties starts at 44 days prior to check-out.
- West 57th Street by Hilton Club
- The District by Hilton Club
- The Residences by Hilton Club (availability starts in 2018)



From the Club Traveler - http://clubtraveler.hgvclub.com/your-club/what-your-hilton-club

CT: What is planned for Hilton Club?
HK: We currently have a number of projects underway, which I think many Club Members will be excited about. The Residences by Hilton Club is a brand-new offering currently under development in New York City. Located on the upper floors of the New York Hilton Midtown, these elegant studio and one-bedroom units feature classical design inspired by the glamorous past of the hotel’s iconic penthouses, which once served as residences for John D. Rockefeller, John Lennon, and Conrad Hilton, among others. Availability is expected in 2018.

We’re also pleased to announce The District by Hilton Club, the first Club offering in Washington, D.C., located in the heart of the city between Dupont Circle and Georgetown. Embedded in the Embassy Suites by Hilton in Georgetown, the newly renovated one- and two-bedroom units deliver sophisticated surroundings with access to all the city has to offer. Availability is expected starting June 2016.

CT: Can Hilton Grand Vacations Club Members use their Points to stay at Hilton Club properties?
HK: Yes, Hilton Grand Vacations Club Members may use their Points to make reservations at the following Hilton Club properties: West 57th Street by Hilton Club, The District by Hilton Club, and The Residences by Hilton Club.

CT: Can you offer any tips to Club Members who wish to make a reservation at Hilton Club properties?
HK: Book early! Owner usage is high at Hilton Club properties, so check for availability as soon as the booking window for Hilton Grand Vacations Club Members opens, usually 44 days prior to check-out.

Thanks alwaysonvac. I updated the initial post with this new information to make it easier to reference.
