Last month, World Properties’ first three small luxury hotels were integrated into the Hilton Honors system — and now, nearly 400 more are available to book directly with Hilton, allowing members to earn or use Hilton Honors points at some incredible hotels. is
For the past few months, Hilton loyalists have been patiently waiting for this day after news broke that Hilton had snapped up its collection of independent hotels from Hyatt, which many saw as a major loss for Hyatt’s loyalty program.
Now, 390 SLH hotels and resorts have already chosen to join Hilton Honors, with more expected to be added over time as the partnership continues, according to a statement from Hilton. That number is significantly higher than the roughly 100 rumored to join, a big win for Hilton Honors and a push to expand its luxury and lifestyle offerings.
Currently, Hilton Honors members, especially those with higher status, can expect a number of perks for SLH stays booked by Hilton. These benefits include:
- Member: Guaranteed member discount, complimentary standard Wi-Fi, complimentary late checkout, bottled water and no resort fee on award stays
- of silver: 20% elite level bonus, fifth grade reward night free and all entry-level member benefits
- Gold: 80% elite level bonus, complimentary breakfast (for two guests), space-available upgrade, fifth grade award night free and all entry-level member benefits
- diamond: 100% elite level bonus, complimentary breakfast (for two guests), space-available upgrade, fifth grade award night free and all entry-level member benefits

Some of the now-integrated resort standouts include the Rusty Parrot Lodge and Spa in Jackson, Wyoming, a 40-room spectacular and incredible skiing near Yellowstone; Nimb Hotel in Copenhagen’s iconic Tivoli Gardens; and Antigua’s Hermitage Bay, a beautiful all-inclusive resort that makes it possible to use Hilton Honors points to pay for a vacation that includes all your food and drinks.
Hilton’s partnership with SLH is just one of several strategic partnerships and acquisitions helping to expand Hilton’s reach. This year, the company also partnered with outdoor lodging brand Autocamp to add Airstream trailers and luxury glamping to Hilton Honors. In addition, it acquired Graduate Hotels, a collection of college-themed hotels around major universities, for $210 million. Not to mention, it also took a majority stake in Nomad Hotels.
