Guests can now indulge in unique, independently minded city, beach, and resort hotels across the globe thanks to Hilton’s exciting expansion. Hilton is significantly broadening its luxury hotel experiences by incorporating nearly 400 boutique properties from the esteemed Small Luxury Hotels of the World (SLH) collection. Starting today, these properties are available on all Hilton direct booking platforms, including Hilton.com and the Hilton Honors app.
This move integrates SLH’s diverse collection into Hilton’s prestigious luxury brand portfolio, which includes Waldorf Astoria Hotels & Resorts, Conrad Hotels & Resorts, LXR Hotels & Resorts, and Signia by Hilton. Travelers now have more options for intimate and unique accommodations, from rustic huts and woodland treehouses to rainforest retreats and coastal villas.
