Latest HGV News

Local Picks in Charleston, Member feedback and the return of the Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions

Winter might be approaching, but it’s still a great time for new adventures — from off-season escapes to destinations that shine in the cooler months. The latest Club Traveler Member Update is here to help you make the most of every journey. 

Our new Local Picks and More video explores Charleston, South Carolina, through the eyes of HGV Team Members who know it best. We joined Kevin Zmijewski, general manager of Liberty Place Charleston, a Hilton Club, and Jonathan Raz, regional vice president of Resort Operations, as they shared their favorite Southern cuisine and local experiences.

Charleston isn’t the only Member favorite in the spotlight. In Orlando, the Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions returns February 1–7, 2027, bringing together LPGA champions, celebrities and athletes for four days of world-class golf and entertainment. Hosted at Lake Nona Golf & Country Club, the event also features live music and exclusive experiences. 

Beyond the excitement on the course, we’ve had the opportunity to connect directly with Members at this year’s Member Insight Sessions in Orlando and Charleston. These conversations provided valuable feedback and insights that will help shape HGV’s future, and we’re grateful to everyone who took the time to participate. Look out for details of upcoming Insight Sessions throughout 2027. 

As the year winds to a close, please note that your Member Services Contact Centers will be closed or have reduced operating hours during the holidays. Visit the Contact Us page on your Member website to find the latest hours of operation, book vacations, save points and access other helpful resources. Members using club.hiltongrandvacations.com can also get assistance from the 24/7 chatbot. 

Finally, we’re aware of a recent data breach at Amadeus, a third-party provider used to book reservations with HGV through iHotelier. HGV has notified Members potentially impacted by the incident. Members have also reported receiving calls from representatives of International Resort World who claim to be affiliated with HGV. For more information and tips on how to protect yourself, visit the Timeshare Fraud Education page on the Unified Member website and bluegreenowner.com.

Wishing you happy adventures ahead!

Beyond helping you stay informed and protect your account, your Member website continues to offer enhancements designed to improve your travel-planning experience. Enhanced booking capabilities allow you to search from the dashboard, view availability using an upgraded calendar and map views and compare travel options more seamlessly.

These enhancements are part of the many resources available through your Member website, which also puts vacation inspiration, account information and Member benefits at your fingertips.
