The chain is making the disposals after exchanging contracts for the sale of 11 properties for £111 million.
Hilton said in February it was considering further disposals worth between £300-£400 million.
The lastest batch to become available include the Gatwick property and the Hilton London Olympia. Others are in Aberdeen, Basingstoke, Belfast, Bristol, Bromsgrove, Coventry, Dartford, Dunkeld House, Edinburgh Airport, Newbury, Newport, Southampton, Strathclyde, Swindon and Templepatrick.
