SH Hotels & Resorts, the hospitality company founded by Barry Sternlicht, has announced a significant worldwide expansion of its portfolio across four continents and 13 countries and territories.

The company reports it has more than 30 hotels and branded residential projects open and in the pipeline, plus a number of deals in the LOI (letter of intent) stage. The expansion includes properties under the 1 Hotels, Baccarat Hotels, and Treehouse Hotels brands.

“At SH Hotels & Resorts, we believe in creating spaces that transcend the ordinary and are more than just a place to stay—they are a celebration of living in harmony with our surroundings,” says Sternlicht. “Our latest expansion is not just about extending our reach; it’s a chance to expose more individuals to our mission. In 1 Hotels, it’s about fusing sustainable luxury with the restorative power of nature. In Baccarat Hotels, we combine timeless elegance with modern sophistication. And in Treehouse Hotels, we ignite the imagination with whimsical charm and playful design. Each new property is a step forward in our journey to redefine what luxury means today and for future generations.”
