The Residences, A Hilton Club

About The Residences, A Hilton Club

The Residences, A Hilton Club is a Hilton Grand Vacations property set in Manhattan, New York. As a Hilton Club timeshare, it follows the brand's club structure, with owners holding usage rights rather than a hotel-style nightly booking. The resort's city-centre setting is its main draw: this is ownership built around being able to walk out the door and into Manhattan, rather than around resort-style leisure facilities.

The Area and Things to Do

Manhattan rewards owners who like to be in the thick of it. Times Square and its Broadway theatres are about 2.5 km away, Central Park and the Metropolitan Museum of Art are roughly 2–3 km out, and the Empire State Building's observation decks are a similarly short trip. For history and views further afield, the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island are reachable by ferry from lower Manhattan (around 8 km), and the Brooklyn Bridge makes for a scenic walk or cycle at about 3.5 km away. Public transport in New York is extensive, so owners and renters rarely need a car to get around.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own a week at The Residences, A Hilton Club and are considering selling, it helps to understand what resale involves before you set a price. According to Hilton Grand Vacations' fee schedule effective 1 January 2026, resale buyers face a $736 activation fee, a $504 ownership change fee, and a $102 estoppel fee (up from $715, $489 and $99 respectively in 2025). HGV's official club disclosure also notes that transfers may be subject to a right of first refusal, with brokers reporting a 30-day window during which HGV can step in before a resale completes.

Transfer timelines vary: brokers typically quote anywhere from 4–6 weeks up to 60–120 days for a resale to close, so it's worth setting buyer expectations early. Both sides should also know that resale buyers at The Residences, A Hilton Club do not receive HGV Max access, get only limited Hilton Honors conversion with no automatic elevated status, and are not eligible for Open Season benefits. These restrictions don't stop a sale, but they do affect how a buyer should value the ownership.

On BidMyTimeshare.com, selling works as a private, owner-to-owner resale: you list your week, set your own asking price, and interested buyers contact you directly through the platform. There's no commission on the sale — sellers pay a one-time listing fee to advertise. The same marketplace works for renting out a week you can't use yourself, giving owners flexibility beyond simply keeping or giving up their ownership.

Exchange Opportunities

Owners at The Residences, A Hilton Club have access to RCI, which opens the door to exchanging a week here for stays at other RCI-affiliated resorts worldwide — useful if you fancy a beach or mountain trip instead of a return visit to New York.

Practical Notes for Owners and Buyers

Before agreeing a resale price, buyers should always confirm the current transfer fee schedule directly, since figures are updated periodically (as seen in the 2025-to-2026 increase above). Sellers should be upfront about the right-of-first-refusal process and realistic closing timelines, since both can affect how quickly a deal completes.
