After snagging the Small Luxury Hotels of the World alliance from Hyatt in February 2024, Hilton added select SLH properties to its program in spurts between June and September 2024. The initial additions are finished, but SLH properties continue to periodically join and leave the Hilton Honors program.

In February, we covered when 30 additional SLH properties became bookable through Hilton Honors. However, Loyalty Lobby and Frequent Miler have since noticed that several more SLH properties have become bookable through Hilton Honors (while several are no longer bookable through that platform). So, here's what you should know about the alliance and these recent moves.

SLH and Hilton Honors alliance

SLH is a collection of luxury, often boutique, hotels and resorts, some of which have decided to participate in Hilton Honors. You can earn and redeem Hilton Honors points at those SLH properties participating in Hilton Honors.

Hilton Honors members also enjoy free Wi-Fi and complimentary late checkout (subject to availability) at participating SLH properties when booking through Hilton. And Hilton Honors Gold and Diamond members enjoy space-available room upgrades and continental breakfast for themselves and one additional guest on eligible stays at participating SLH hotels.

The best way to see which SLH properties participate in Hilton Honors is to view Hilton's map of SLH properties.

SLH properties that participate in Hilton Honors change periodically, usually without any fanfare from Hilton Honors. In the rest of this article, I'll discuss some of the most notable recent additions and departures.

Be sure to compare award rates with paid rates before booking any of these properties. Keep in mind that TPG's June 2025 valuations peg the value of Hilton points at 0.5 cents each, so you'll usually only want to redeem Hilton points when you can get more than 0.5 cents per point in value.

SLH properties that recently left Hilton Honors

Over the last few months, several SLH properties have left Hilton Honors. These properties include:

  • Casa Lucia in Buenos Aires, Argentina
  • Grand Hotel Parker's in Naples, Italy
  • Hotel Eclat Taipei in Taiwan
  • Hounds Tooth Inn in Oakhurst, California

SLH properties can choose whether to participate in Hilton Honors, so they may leave if they don't believe they're getting enough value from the alliance. However, Grand Hotel Parker's, Hotel Eclat Taipei and Hounds Tooth Inn seemingly left the SLH program entirely, as none of these properties currently appear on the SLH website.

Bottom line

It's not surprising to see SLH properties join and leave Hilton Honors. As such, it's a good idea to periodically check Hilton's map of participating SLH properties to see the current options in your upcoming travel destinations. I loved the two SLH stays I've had to date at Calala Island in Nicaragua and Nanuku Resort in Fiji and may redeem a Hilton free night certificate at a SLH property later this year.
