About the program
Small Luxury Hotels WithIN at Lyxresan Travels
Small Luxury Hotels of the World was founded in 1991 by a group of independent hotel owners who believed that the finest boutique hotels had more in common with one another than with any traditional hotel chain. Today, the collection spans more than 700 independently owned properties across 100 countries, united by a shared emphasis on character, individuality, and highly personal hospitality. The portfolio ranges from historic palazzos and coastal fortresses to remote wellness retreats and private island hideaways. Standout properties include Cap Rocat in Mallorca, Le Sirenuse overlooking the Amalfi Coast, The Retreat at Blue Lagoon Iceland, and Cotton House on Mustique.
WithIN is SLH’s preferred advisor program. Through our WithIN status, Lyxresan Travels confirms exclusive amenities at participating SLH properties worldwide, with VIP recognition communicated directly to the hotel team before arrival. At smaller boutique hotels where service is deeply personal and no two stays feel alike, that relationship often makes a meaningful difference to the overall experience.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about SLH
What makes SLH properties different from branded luxury hotels?
SLH properties are independently owned and operated — no franchise relationship, no central management company determining service protocols. Every SLH hotel has a distinct character shaped by its owner and its location. What they share is a quality standard: all SLH members are assessed against a rigorous set of criteria and must continue to meet them to retain membership.
Do SLH properties cost more than comparable branded hotels?
Not typically. Boutique independent hotels are often priced comparably to branded luxury properties in the same market, and many offer significantly more character and personalisation for the rate. Through our WithIN advisor status, we add exclusive benefits on top of the best available rate — making the boutique option a better value proposition than booking direct.
