Leading Hotels of the World (LHW) is a collection of 400+ luxury hotel which stands apart by curating only the most exceptional properties—each one utterly unique. With a rigorous 5% acceptance rate (just 1 in 20 applicants approved), every LHW hotel is a destination in itself:
No two alike: From historic castles to private islands, each property tells its own story through design and local traditions.
Personal connections: Many are family-owned, with owners often on-site to welcome you (unlike corporate chains).
