As one of the world’s largest luxury hotel brands, LHW seeks the unexpected and the exceptional for its collection. Hotels must apply for admission and undergo a rigorous quality inspection encompassing all aspects affecting guest comfort, convenience and mood. Inspection reports, based on hundreds of separate, stringent criteria, are subsequently filed with the Executive Committee whose members then vote on admittance. The result is a rich portfolio of unique properties that deliver Remarkably Uncommon travel experiences.
