Participating SLH hotels join Hilton’s existing luxury brand portfolio, which includes LXR Hotels & Resorts, Conrad Hotels & Resorts, Waldorf Astoria Hotel & Resorts, and Signia by Hilton. These boutique properties range from coastal villas to rainforest retreats and everything in between.

Each takes the luxury travel experience further, with nuanced details that exude personality. SLH properties reflect local character and custom for a stay that goes beyond mere accommodations.

Chris Silcock, Hilton’s President of Global Brands and Commercial Services, commented,  “Integrating with Small Luxury Hotels of the World allows us to expand the Hilton stay experience and travel aspirations for all guests, with special opportunities for our loyal Hilton Honors members.”

He continued, “The hundreds of independently minded properties are highly complementary to our renowned luxury portfolio and support Hilton’s ongoing efforts to expand and create distinct, localized travel experiences for our guests.”

In 79 A.D., Mount Vesuvius erupted, marking one of the most destructive events in history. The stratovolcano — situated about 5.6 miles east of Naples, Italy — shot a cloud of molten rock, pumice, and ash 21 miles into the sky, pulverizing the Roman towns of Pompeii, Herculaneum, Oplontis, and Stabiae. For centuries, the cities remained undiscovered until architect Domenico Fontana, while building an underground channel, found Pompeii’s remnants in 1599.

Excavations followed in the 18th century and beyond, with stunning artifacts showing the human toll of the violent eruption. Jewelry, artwork, and food provided a window into Italy’s ancient culture and what people endured that day.

In a move aimed at streamlining the often cumbersome process of passport renewals, the Department of State (DOS) has launched a beta version of its updated online passport renewal system. This new program is a significant step forward, offering eligible American citizens the convenience of renewing their passports online. 

Acting quickly will be essential for those looking to renew their passports. To ensure a smooth rollout and monitor the system’s performance, the DOS is limiting the number of applications accepted daily. The online system will be accessible for a limited window each day, opening at midday Eastern Time and closing once the daily application cap is reached. The beta phase is being used so the DOS can fine-tune the system, ensuring it can efficiently handle the demand.
