Hilton is significantly expanding its luxury hotel portfolio with the addition of nearly 400 boutique hotels from its outstanding Small Luxury Hotels of the World (SLH) collection.
As of yesterday, hundreds of these properties are available across all of Hilton’s direct booking channels, including Hilton.com and the Hilton Honors app.
Joining Hilton’s prestigious portfolio of luxury brands, which includes Waldorf Astoria Hotels & Resorts, Conrad Hotels & Resorts, LXR Hotels & Resorts and Signia by Hilton, the diverse collection of SLH hotels offers travellers new ways to stay in a variety of destinations, from rustic cabins and tree houses in the forest to rainforest retreats and beachfront villas.
Through this exclusive partnership, members of Hilton Honors, Hilton’s award-winning guest loyalty program, will be able to earn and redeem points for stays at SLH. In addition, they will enjoy exclusive privileges at SLH’s city, beach and resort hotels.
In a statement, Hilton’s head of global brands and commercial services, Chris Silcock, said: “The integration with Small Luxury Hotels of the World allows us to extend the Hilton stay experience and travel aspirations for all guests, with special opportunities for our loyal Hilton Honors members. The hundreds of independent properties greatly complement our renowned luxury portfolio and support Hilton’s ongoing efforts to expand and create distinctive, local travel experiences for our guests.”
“Through this partnership, Hilton guests and Hilton Honors members will receive a warm welcome at SLH member hotels, allowing them to experience our distinctive approach to hospitality. This alliance extends the reach of our boutique hotels to Hilton’s loyal and discerning clientele, transforming the global landscape for independent hotels in a remarkable way,” said Small Luxury Hotels of the World President Shaun Leleu for his part.
As mentioned, Hilton Honors members can upgrade their stay at participating SLH hotels with exclusive benefits such as point earning and redemption, free WiFi and a guaranteed membership discount. Gold and Diamond members also enjoy room upgrades with room upgrade options and continental breakfast for up to two people.
Hilton Honors members will appreciate the ongoing flexibility and value of the award-winning program, including benefits such as points and cash payment options, zero resort fees on stays booked by using all points, and the 5th free night.
