Hilton has announced a major expansion of its luxury portfolio by adding nearly 400 boutique properties from the Small Luxury Hotels of the World (SLH) collection. This partnership makes these unique hotels available through Hilton's direct booking channels, including Hilton.com and the Hilton Honors app.
This collaboration significantly broadens Hilton's reach in the luxury market. By integrating SLH properties, Hilton enhances its prestigious lineup, which includes Waldorf Astoria, Conrad, LXR, and Signia by Hilton. These new additions offer travelers a variety of unique lodging experiences, from rustic retreats and rainforest lodges to coastal villas and city sanctuaries.
Hilton Honors members will particularly benefit from this partnership. They can earn and redeem points at participating SLH hotels, and enjoy exclusive perks such as free Wi-Fi, member discounts, room upgrades (subject to availability), and complimentary continental breakfast for Gold and Diamond members. The flexibility of the Hilton Honors program continues with options like Points & Money payments, no resort fees on point bookings, and a fifth night free on standard reward stays.
The SLH collection includes properties that offer personalized experiences reflecting local cultures and unique settings. Some notable examples are:
Hermitage Bay, Antigua and Barbuda: The property features elegantly designed suites that blend bright, beautiful interiors with natural wood accents and soft linens. Guests can unwind with Caribbean-inspired sundowners in the lounge or enjoy alfresco dining featuring organic produce sourced from local suppliers and the hotel's own kitchen garden.
Lanson Place Causeway Bay, Hong Kong: This luxurious hotel has recently been reimagined to offer light-filled spaces, refined dining options, and intricate touches that showcase top craftsmanship. Guests can enjoy a serene retreat within the city, featuring grand yet intimate accommodations that blend Hong Kong’s warm hospitality with chic, French-inspired design elements.
Gangtey Lodge, Bhutan: The boutique hotel boasts spectacular views of the surrounding mountains and forests, providing a serene and spiritual escape. The lodge's suites are designed to reflect Bhutanese farmhouse aesthetics, offering a rich cultural experience.
Nimb Hotel, Copenhagen, Denmark: This intimate hotel offers just 38 sophisticated rooms and suites, each designed with elegance and luxury in mind. Guests can indulge in the hotel's state-of-the-art wellness center, choose from five diverse dining options—including a classic French Brasserie—and enjoy the rustic charm of a wine cellar.
Grove of Narberth, Wales, UK: This boutique escape is known for its cozy and welcoming atmosphere, featuring big, comfy sofas, roaring fires, and beautiful gardens. Guests can enjoy stunning views of the rolling hills and dine at one of the most celebrated restaurants in Wales.
Nobu Hotel Marbella, Spain: By day, the hotel exudes relaxed luxury with its pristine sandy beaches and warm turquoise waters, known as the Golden Mile. By night, it transforms into a high-end dining destination featuring the world-renowned Nobu restaurant. Guests can indulge in exceptional cuisine and enjoy the vibrant nightlife at the exclusive La Plaza, making it a prime destination for luxury travelers.
Rusty Parrot Lodge & Spa, Wyoming, USA: This 40-room hotel is renowned for its excellent dining, relaxing spa, and welcoming atmosphere. Guests can explore the great outdoors with activities such as skiing, hiking, and wildlife viewing. The lodge’s chic Western-style décor, complete with warming fires, offers a perfect blend of comfort and adventure for travelers seeking an authentic Jackson experience.
Since the announcement in February, 390 SLH properties have joined the partnership, with more expected as the relationship between SLH and Hilton develops. This strategic move aligns with Hilton's goal of creating distinct, localized travel experiences for its guests.
Chris Silcock, President of Global Brands and Commercial Services at Hilton, stated, “Integrating with Small Luxury Hotels of the World allows us to expand the Hilton stay experience and travel aspirations for all guests, with special opportunities for our loyal Hilton Honors members. The hundreds of independently minded properties are highly complementary to our renowned luxury portfolio and support Hilton’s ongoing efforts to expand and create distinct, localized travel experiences for our guests.”
Shaun Leleu, Chairman of SLH, added, “Through this collaboration, 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 expands the reach of our boutique hotels to Hilton's loyal and discerning clientele, transforming the global landscape for independently owned hotels in a remarkable way.”
