The Leading Hotels of the World (LHW) is heading into Spring 2025 with ten new properties in its portfolio.

”These exciting additions to the Leading portfolio reflect the diverse passions of our curious travelers, both in the addition of adventurous, nature-based destinations like Chilean Patagonia and Übersee, as well as culture-rich cities like Maastricht, Lecce and Athens,” said Deniz Omurgonulsen, vice-president, Member Experience, The Leading Hotels of the World. “Including both carefully restored heritage hotels and innovative new openings, this season’s intake beautifully demonstrates LHW’s continued quest for the highest quality of hospitality, and our support of independent hospitality in all its forms.”
