Nearly 400 SLH hotels are now accessible through the Hilton Honors partnership, allowing members to earn points on paid rates and redeem them for stays at luxury properties. This development enhances Hilton's offerings in the luxury redemption market, making their points more attractive.
These high-end properties are priced within Hilton’s standard redemption range, with the most expensive stays costing up to 150,000 points per night. Notably, there are no resort fees on redemptions, and the 5th night free benefit applies.
Hilton secured this partnership from Hyatt, which had acquired the Mr & Mrs Smith booking platform. Like SLH, this is a collaboration with independent properties rather than a brand acquisition. Despite Hyatt's ownership of Mr & Mrs Smith potentially offering higher-end hotels, their low-value revenue-based redemptions rendered the partnership less beneficial. Customers still need to book through Hyatt channels to receive credit and points, similar to how it operates with Hilton and SLH.
