A couple of weeks ago Hilton kicked off their integration of Small Luxury Hotels (SLH) properties with the addition of three properties – Teranka Formentera (one of the Balearic Islands), Nobu Hotel Marbella in Spain and Flemings Mayfair in London.
That list has now been expanded to a total of 18 properties including properties in Scotland, Denmark, Hong Kong, China, Nicaragua and more.
You can see the updated list here. Two of the highlights on this list are the highly rated Calala Island in Nicaragua and the Grand Hotel Victoria Concept and Spa – Lago di Como in Italy. The latter is a property that Nick has visited a couple of times (see his reviews here and here) although I haven’t been able to find any availability at either of those properties.
In fact, I’ve struggled to find any availability whatsoever at the handful of properties I’ve checked, so it seems like Hilton is still in the process of properly integrating these hotels. If there are any that you’re particularly interested in, it’d be worth monitoring them each day because if and when dates do become bookable with points, I suspect that availability will dry up again quickly.
I did manage to find one hotel with at least some availability. The Rusty Parrot Lodge and Spa in Jackson, WY – just a short drive from Grand Teton National Park and 1-2 hours from Yellowstone National Park – has about two weeks at the end of October/beginning of November bookable with cash or points. The cash rate ranges from $435-$640 with taxes and fees, with points bookings ranging from 94,000-105,000. That means you’d be looking at getting 0.46-0.61cpp (cents per point) of value. That’s not amazing on the low end, but a bit better on the high end, especially if you can take advantage of Hilton’s 5th night free benefit on award stays.
I imagine that we’ll see Hilton continue to gradually roll out more SLH properties, so we’ll keep you updated when we notice more hotels going live.
