SEE YOU AT THE CLUB

[TRAVEL] Uwern Jong takes Small Luxury Hotels of the Worlds "The Club" affinity programme for a whirl.

Being a Travel Editor has its perks, but it seems that the generous folk at Small Luxury Hotels of the World™ has passed on the benefits of being one to mere mortals (kidding - believe me, my job sounds glamourous, but it's a lot of hard work!).

Their marketing invites loyal guests to feel Special, Loved and Honoured (see what they did there?) to their newly enhanced "customer recognition programme" - THE CLUB.  Self-claimed arbiters of luxury travel for 20 years, the programme rewards travellers who treasure the boutique, intimate nature of the hotels in its portfolio.

So what are the perks?

Membership of The Club of SLH is offered on a complimentary basis and benefits start from the very first stay.  Perks include complimentary room nights, upgrades and access to exclusive offers.

The more a Club member stays at SLH properties, the more the love grows and the benefits they will receive increase.  After just one stay at an SLH property, Club members are upgraded from “Special” to “Loved”, and after five further stays they will become “Honoured” members, enjoying the top level of benefits.

 

The Club of SLH offers incomparable customer service through a dedicated Club Manager and Club Reservations Consultants, ensuring guests experience the very best personal service and advice and recommendations tailored to their needs.

 
Club members will also get a complimentary room upgrade, which is of course subject to availability, exclusive rates and access to the Club Concierge team.

After just one say, you're automatically upgraded to LOVED status. This means you get a daily complimentary continental breakfast for two on each stay and immediate late check-out.

HONOURED members get a complimentary night on SLH to say thank you, plus an additional complimentary night for every additional five stays, a priority room upgrade over all other members and the holy grail - early check-in.

It seems membership does certainly have it's priviledges - www.slh.com
