Small Luxury Hotels of the World (SLH) has expanded its Considerate Collection, adding 24 properties in the last 12 months.
Launched in 2021 with 25 hotels, the Considerate Collection identifies the most sustainable and regenerative hotels in the SLH portfolio. The collection, which marked its fourth anniversary in October 2025, now includes 82 properties in 41 countries to help travellers find more sustainable options.
SLH has encouraged travellers to stay small and considerate since its founding. As the brand marks its 35th anniversary in 2025, the newly launched SLH Call-to-Action Report outlines the brand’s sustainability initiatives to date, highlights developments in the Considerate Collection, and details portfolio-wide commitments and partnerships. The report aims to showcase impact within the SLH portfolio and the wider hotel industry.
The report also details the evolution of the Considerate Collection, including a video covering the first SLH Considerate Connections Retreat. To mark the fourth anniversary, SLH gathered Considerate Collection hoteliers at Dar Ahlam in Morocco to discuss regenerative hospitality and the role of small hotels in advancing sustainability.
Entry to the Considerate Collection remains merit-based. Each property must meet three core criteria: environmentally conscious, community minded, and cultural custodianship. Properties must also meet the highest categories of the SLH Sustainability Criteria, developed in line with the Global Sustainable Tourism Council framework and the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals. The result is a portfolio of diverse hotels that combine sustainability with small-scale operation.
Recent additions to the collection include Lilløy Lindenberg in Norway, Quinta Da Comporta – Wellness Boutique Resort in Portugal, and The Retreat Koh Chang in Thailand.
New hotels joining in 2025 include Laguna Coast Resort in Naxos, Greece, which opened in May 2025, and Namia River Retreat in Hoi An, Vietnam, which opened in December 2024. Other additions include Calcot & Spa in the UK’s Cotswolds, and Casa de Uco Vineyards & Wine Resort in Mendoza, Argentina.
