With a portfolio of over 290 of the world’s most exclusive independent hotels across 50 countries – Small Luxury Hotels welcomes you to escape to a private world of luxury.

For the discerning guest, the Small Luxury Hotels of the World brand guarantees a commitment to excellence and an assurance of privacy, pampering and exclusivity - embracing the romantic heritage of rural retreats and historic houses, the sophisticated indulgence of city sanctuaries, spa centres, sports resorts and superior game lodges around the globe.

SLH is uniquely positioned within the luxury hotel market, providing the global representation, whilst preserving the distinctive individuality of each of its members.

Each SLH property has their own distinctive character, a quality that comes from not only their location and facilities but their individual owners and clientele. You should think of them not so much as hotels as destinations. No ordinary destinations either. The comfort levels run deep and the cuisine is superb, even in the middle of a wilderness.

Romantic hideaways
For romance look no further – weddings, honeymoon, anniversary or special occasions - your perfect romantic sojourn awaits…

Sports resorts
Many SLH hotels organize activities for guests – whether your desired activity is golf, tennis, riding, skiing or water sports – facilities are often on-site or nearby and sporting events within easy reach.

Adventure playgrounds
White water rafting, big game safaris, hot air ballooning, reef walking, turtle watching, jungle trekking – the possibilities within SLH are endless.

Heritage houses
Some SLH hotels are heritage-listed buildings; others are close to famous heritage sites- unique to the locale and customs within their geographical region.

Waterfront hotels
The waterfront hotels differ from lakes and rivers, to mountain streams or rocky bays, beachside or poolside or the ultimate at the edge of the Great Barrier Reef…

City sanctuaries
For shopping, culture, convenience and indulgence in cities the world over - from London, Paris and Rome to New York, Lima, Christchurch and Bangkok.

The group offers ease of booking and the familiarity of an international hotel chain, whilst at the same time enveloping the unique character, design and individuality of each of its member properties.
