Hilton has added 3 SLH properties:
- Teranka (Formentera, Spain)
- Nobu Hotel Marbella (Marbella, Spain)
- Flemings Mayfair (London, England)
Hilton says they are releasing only “limited inventory” now with additional space added as the continue testing, in preparation for broader partnership rollout.
SLH experience should be similar to what members received from Hyatt, which was limited benefits relative to Hyatt’s elite offerings but which are in fact similar to what Honors offers at its own properties.
- All members: Member Discount, Complimentary Standard Wi-Fi, Complimentary Late Checkout, Bottled Water/Hydration per stay, No Resort Fees on Reward Stays
- Honors Silver: 20% Elite Tier Bonus, 5th Standard Reward Night Free, All “Member” benefits
- Honors Gold: 80% Elite Tier Bonus, Complimentary Breakfast (for two guests), Space-available Upgrades, 5th Standard Reward Night Free, All “Member” benefits
- Honors Diamond: 100% Elite Tier Bonus, Complimentary Breakfast (for two guests), Space-available upgrades, 5th Standard Reward Night Free, All “Member” benefits
Ultimately 100 SLH hotels should come online this year for Honors with more coming next year, and the most expensive redemption should cost 150,000 points per night.
I’ve taken advantage of redemptions at places like Point Grace Resort in Turks and Caicos and Wentworth Mansion in Charleston through World of Hyatt.
Grace Bay Beach, Turks and Caicos
Wentworth Mansion
Both were fantastic. This will give Honors a much wider portfolio of luxury redemption possibilities, although I expect inventory at many smaller properties to be quite limited.
99,999 points a night?
Just completed a walk-up rate reservation at an SLH property in Turkey. Check-in agent was not aware of the Hilton partnership and said there wasn’t a field in his system to enter a Hilton Honors number. Upon checking out, I sent a copy of my folio to Hilton Twitter team and they manually posted 20x points per USD spent. However since this particular SLH property has not been ‘activated’ in their system, it will not register as a ‘stay’ in my HH account.
