Small Luxury Hotels has biggest expansion ever
Small Luxury Hotels of the World added 59 new members this year, representing the largest expansion since the brand was first started in 1991.
“The total collection now stands at 359 hotels in 59 countries,” said the association.
That includes 19,000 rooms and sites in nearly 30 capital cities and on 40 islands.
The collection also includes 90 castles and country houses as well as game lodges and others.
“Despite the growth in hotel membership, the average number of rooms at an SLH property remains consistent at 55 rooms,” the association said.
“It is not just about adding more hotels to our portfolio. We have made a concerted effort to seek out the very best and most exclusive properties in emerging and exciting luxury destinations,” said Paul Kerr, Joint Managing Director of Small Luxury Hotels of the World.
