Small Luxury Hotels on course for record breaking year
Small Luxury Hotels of the World says it is on course for a record breaking year as it sees a resurgence of the luxury market.
SLH has reported a 13% rise in revenue and a 6% increase in room nights compared to the same time last year.
It has also seen a 6% year on year rise in revenue from its ‘basket of hotels’, which refers to the 216 hotels that have been part of the brand for over seven years.
Paul Kerr, CEO at Small Luxury Hotels of the World™ (SLH), said: "It’s particularly encouraging to see a rise in our basket – over the past few years SLH has grown by adding new hotels to the brand but the basket of hotels has remained fairly static.
"With the end of the recession, it’s a positive outlook for our core hotels, those that have been with us for many years, which are now seeing an uplift in travel and expenditure."
The SLH website, slh.com – which will be revamped in the Autumn, has enjoyed more success with a 50% increase in mobile views year-on-year.
Reservations are up by 20% on tablets and by 208% on mobile when compared to the same time frame last year.
Fifteen hotels have been added to the portfolio, including nine hotels in EMEA, two new joiners in the Americas and four hotels from the APAC region.
