The partnership will dramatically expand the luxury
experiences offered by Hilton as unique SLH properties join the unparalleled
hotels of the growing Waldorf
Astoria Hotels & Resorts, Conrad
Hotels & Resorts and LXR Hotels
& Resorts brands.
Through this exclusive partnership, which will ramp
up in the months ahead, all of Hilton’s customers, including the more than 180
million members of Hilton Honors, will
soon be able to dream, book and earn and redeem Points for stays at
participating properties in the SLH community of 560 luxury boutique hotels
spanning 90 countries. These locations are highly complementary to Hilton’s
vast network of hotels and will give guests access to additional luxury
accommodations in hundreds of new destinations.
“Hilton guests are among the most sophisticated
travelers in the world, and we are always looking for amazing new experiences
to share with them,” said Chris Silcock, president, Global Brands and
Commercial Services, Hilton. “This relationship with Small Luxury Hotels of the
World will grant Hilton customers and Hilton Honors members access to a
community of high-end boutique hotels in exciting new luxury travel
destinations, giving them more ways to dream, book, and earn and redeem points
with Hilton.”
Participating SLH hotels will be bookable on all
Hilton channels, giving the hotels exposure to a broad audience while allowing
them to retain the independent spirit that makes each property unique.
“We’re thrilled to begin this win-win relationship
with Hilton as it brings exciting possibilities for both brands,” said Shaun
Leleu, chairman, Small Luxury Hotels of the World. “Hilton customers, including
Hilton Honors members, gain access to our unrivalled collection of exceptional
boutique hotels, while our properties enjoy amplified reach to a loyal and
discerning audience. It's a game changer for independently owned hotels on a
global scale.”
More details of this new relationship will be
announced soon.
Hilton continues to offer customers the right stay
for every travel occasion through an unmatched portfolio of industry-leading
brands plus exclusive partnerships that create more experiences for guests to
dream about. The partnership with Small Luxury Hotels of the World adds to
the company’s
dramatic growth trajectory and reflects its focus on accelerating
