That’s why at SLH, we have hotels that suit every travel style.

We have hotels as characterful as you.

From London to New York City

Last year, we held a casting call in London asking our community to share their travel stories with us, for a chance to win the trip of a lifetime and become the face of our next campaign. This time, we headed to New York City, where 30 handpicked travel lovers attended our day in the studio, before our panel of judges picked our winners. Here’s how it went…
