Hilton adds another 100-plus hotels thanks to Small Luxury Hotels of the World partnership
A new partnership between Hilton and Small Luxury Hotels of the World continues to grow mere months after its initial rollout.
Another 102 SLH properties are now available for booking through Hilton's direct reservations channels. This completes a growth target announced earlier in the summer that the SLH-Hilton partnership count would rise to nearly 400 hotels. But Hilton Honors members should go to the SLH-Hilton partnership website highlighted here to check on which hotels are participating and when they are participating, as the integration is rolling out in batches over the next few days — meaning reservations can take place Tuesday, but some hotels won't be ready for arrivals until Monday.
Some of the newest additions to the Hilton-SLH partnership include Grace La Margna St Moritz, a boutique luxury hotel in Switzerland that is popular for its mountain views, modern design and extensive art collection. The Atlantic Hotel, a culinary-forward hotel on the Channel Island of Jersey, is also part of the latest addition. Other new options for Hilton Honors members looking to earn and redeem points at an SLH property include Hacienda Zorita Wine Hotel & Spa in Salamanca, Spain, and Rawah Ranch in Glendevey, Colorado.
When staying at an SLH hotel, Hilton Honors members enjoy benefits like free Wi-Fi, complimentary late checkout and — for Hilton Honors Gold and Diamond members — space-available upgrades and continental breakfast for two people.
The Hilton-SLH partnership is part of Hilton's growing presence in the luxury and lifestyle space, as the hotel giant has also recently ramped up growth plans for newly acquired brands like Graduate and NoMad. SLH, formerly a Hyatt partner, joined Hilton earlier this year while Hyatt moved forward, launching a new boutique hotel pairing thanks to its acquisition of the Mr & Mrs Smith booking platform.
While it all may seem like a confusing game of boutique hotel musical chairs, one thing is clear: Loyalty members at Hilton have more options than ever when it comes to booking a stay at hotels outside the typical brand box.
