Small Luxury Hotels of the World
The Small Luxury Hotels of the World brand is an exclusive collection of over 350 independently-owned luxury hotels in nearly 60 countries around the world. Carefully selected for their style and sophistication, Small Luxury Hotels features award-winning properties including spas, country houses, golf resorts, island retreats, city sanctuaries, and game and wilderness lodges.

Formed to represent the collective interests of the most luxurious, independent, exclusive hotels and resorts around the world, the consortium's activities are designed to provide similar economies of scale achieved by the big international hotel chains, yet maintaining the individuality and independence of each of its member properties.

History:
Small Luxury Hotels of the World was created in 1991 as the result of a merger between two existing hotel marketing organizations, Prestige Hotels Europe and Small Luxury Hotels & Resorts of North America offering a combined force of over 30 years of international hotel marketing experience. In 1995, SLH merged with the Asian/Pacific properties of Select Hotels and Resorts International, creating a truly global membership with marketing services and reservations coverage across the globe. Today, SLH is a non-profit organization owned by all of the member hotels. A Board of Directors is elected from the membership by their peers and represents the interests of member hotels around the world.
