Hilton and Small Luxury Hotels of the World™ (SLH) are celebrating the one-year anniversary of their exclusive partnership, which has added over 450 boutique hotels to Hilton’s luxury portfolio and expanded its presence into 12 new countries, including Cambodia, Slovenia, and Saint Vincent & the Grenadines.
Since its launch, the collaboration has introduced Hilton Honors members to a curated world of independent stays, from rainforest retreats to coastal villas, while allowing SLH properties to tap into Hilton’s global distribution network and loyalty programme. Hilton now adds more than one SLH property per week on average, dramatically increasing its footprint in unique destinations.
“This partnership is key to our luxury growth strategy,” said John Rogers, SVP of Brand Management at Hilton. “It connects hotel owners to over 226 million Hilton Honors members and offers guests access to some of the world’s most exclusive stays”.

SLH properties have seen a 78% increase in traffic via Hilton’s booking channels year-over-year in July, underscoring the commercial success of the partnership. More than 10 billion Hilton Honors Points have been redeemed at SLH hotels, unlocking aspirational travel for members in destinations where Hilton previously had limited presence.
“This has been our strongest collaboration,” said Richard Hyde, COO of SLH. “It’s driving significant bookings and attracting new properties to our portfolio”
