Hilton expands SLH partnership to nearly 400 hotels

Hilton is expanding its portfolio of luxury hotels with the addition of nearly 400 boutique properties from the Small Luxury Hotels of the World collection. Starting today, hundreds of these properties will be available on all Hilton direct booking channels, including Hilton.com and the Hilton Honors app.

“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,” Chris Silcock, president, global brands and commercial services, Hilton, said in a statement. “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.”

Through the exclusive partnership, members of Hilton Honors will be able to earn and redeem Points for SLH stays. Additionally, they will enjoy exclusive benefits at SLH’s city, beach and resort hotels. Since the announcement in February, 390 SLH properties have opted to join into the partnership with more hotels expected to be added as the SLH and Hilton relationship grows.

"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,” said Shaun Leleu, chairman, Small Luxury Hotels of the World. “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."
