From a Nobu in Poland to a Vietnamese river retreat, 30 more boutique SLH hotels are now bookable through Hilton
Hilton's partnership with Small Luxury Hotels of the World just keeps getting sweeter: The duo announced 30 new hotels that are now integrated into the Hilton Honors ecosystem.
Last year, an initial 390 luxury boutique properties were added to the program, and a steady stream of new properties have been added over the last few months, bringing the total count to well over 400 hotels stretching across the globe.
Some of the latest additions include Nobu Hotel Warsaw, with chic rooms that reflect the hotel's early 20th-century art deco design, a Nobu restaurant with the head chef's iconic rock shrimp tempura and a spa using Natura Bisse products. Hilton Honors members can now book Nobu Hotel Warsaw for as little as 50,000 points per night. (If you have American Express Membership Rewards points, you can actually snag a night here for 25,000 points since Membership Rewards points transfer at a 1:2 ratio.)
If you're surprised to see that you can book a Nobu-branded hotel with Hilton points, let me surprise you thrice over — there are actually three Nobu hotels that are now part of the SLH partnership: Warsaw, Marrakech and Marbella.
Also in Europe, Vista Palazzo Lago di Como gives Hilton Honors members a luxurious new lakefront escape from 150,000 points per night while Dylan Hotel, Dublin offers an art-filled retreat for as low as 65,000 points per night.
In Hoi An, Vietnam, the Namia River Retreat is now available to book from 90,000 points per night. The serene hotel offers pool villas with private areas to swim, large family villas, authentic Vietnamese food and right-out-of-the-water seafood.
And while those hotels are just a small sampling of the many that are now officially bookable through Hilton, the dozens and dozens of other properties also give Hilton Honors elite members many of the great perks they're used to with other Hilton brands. Those benefits, based on status level, include:
- Member: Guaranteed member discount, complimentary standard Wi-Fi, complimentary late checkout, bottled water and no resort fees on award stays
- Silver: 20% points bonus, fifth standard reward night free and all entry-level member benefits
- Gold: 80% points bonus, complimentary breakfast (for two guests), space-available upgrades, fifth standard reward night free and all entry-level member benefits
- Diamond: 100% points bonus, complimentary breakfast (for two guests), space-available upgrades, fifth standard reward night free and all entry-level member benefits
