Hilton is making waves in the luxury travel industry by significantly expanding its portfolio with nearly 400 extraordinary boutique hotels through an exclusive partnership with Small Luxury Hotels of the World (SLH). Starting today, travelers can book these stunning properties on all Hilton direct booking channels, including Hilton.com and the Hilton Honors app.
This collaboration brings an impressive new dimension to Hilton’s luxury brand portfolio, which includes Waldorf Astoria Hotels & Resorts, Conrad Hotels & Resorts, LXR Hotels & Resorts, and Signia by Hilton. The diverse range of SLH properties offers guests unique and intimate accommodations in settings ranging from rustic huts and woodland treehouses to rainforest retreats and coastal villas.
Hilton Honors members will particularly benefit from this partnership. They can now earn and redeem Points at SLH hotels, enjoying exclusive perks such as free WiFi, a guaranteed member discount, and space-available room upgrades. Gold and Diamond members also receive continental breakfast for two guests. The partnership adds more value to the Hilton Honors program with flexible booking options, no resort fees on stays booked with Points, and a 5th Standard Reward Night Free.
Chris Silcock, President of Global Brands and Commercial Services at Hilton, highlighted the significance of the integration: “Partnering with Small Luxury Hotels of the World allows us to broaden the Hilton stay experience and meet our guests’ travel aspirations with special opportunities for our loyal Hilton Honors members. The unique properties in SLH’s collection complement our renowned luxury portfolio and help us deliver distinct, localized travel experiences.”
Shaun Leleu, Chairman of Small Luxury Hotels of the World, added, “This collaboration introduces our boutique hotels to Hilton’s loyal clientele, expanding our reach and transforming the landscape for independently owned hotels. Hilton guests will experience our unique approach to hospitality and enjoy warm welcomes at SLH properties.”
