Small Luxury Hotels Unveils 22 New Member Hotels

Small Luxury Hotels of the World (SLH) is proud to announce the launch of its latest brand campaign, which celebrates the individuality and character of its properties. The campaign, entitled ‘Hotels as Characterful as You,’ highlights how each SLH property has its own distinctive personality that reflects the tastes, and aspirations of its guests.

The social media-driven ‘Hotels as Characterful as You’ campaign was initially launched in March, with a search for unique individuals from SLH’s community of independent-minded guests. After a successful casting call, six faces were chosen and paired with properties from SLH’s 520-strong portfolio. The campaign is now live on various digital platforms, OOH advertising, and Sky VOD.

SLH has also added 22 hotels to its portfolio since the beginning of the year, which include seven new openings for 2023, and four actively sustainable luxury hotels which have been accepted into the brand’s Considerate Collection.  With these four additions, the Considerate Collection now totals 54 hotels.
