WORLDHOTELS™: A CURATED WORLD OF INDEPENDENT LUXURY AND DISTINCTION

In the world of global hospitality, WorldHotels™ stands apart as a curated family of the finest independent hotels and resorts. Operating as a soft brand within the BWH Hotels network, WorldHotels combines the entrepreneurial spirit of independent hoteliers with the support and reach of a global enterprise, delivering exceptional experiences that are unique, enriching, and unforgettable.

WorldHotels’ story begins in 1970, when the Frankfurt-based Steigenberger Hotel Group launched a reservation system to help independent luxury hotels compete in an increasingly connected world. This system evolved into Steigenberger Reservation Service (SRS Hotels) and eventually became WorldHotels. Over the decades, the brand has embraced innovation, expanded its portfolio, and in 2019 joined BWH Hotels, strengthening its global presence while preserving its commitment to individuality, excellence, and authentic hospitality.

One Brand, Four Collections

WorldHotels organizes its portfolio into four distinctive collections, catering to travelers seeking luxury, authenticity, and meaningful experiences:

• WorldHotels™ Luxury – Iconic, high-end properties offering timeless elegance.
• WorldHotels™ Elite – Sophisticated hotels with exceptional style and service.
• WorldHotels™ Crafted – Boutique properties that reflect local culture and character.
• WorldHotels™ Distinctive – Unique stays designed to surprise, inspire, and connect

With over 160 hotels and resorts worldwide, each property blends local culture with international standards of quality and service.

Guided by Four Pillars of Excellence

WorldHotels thrives on principles that elevate every guest experience:

• A World of Care – Warm, attentive hospitality and attention to detail.
• A World of Your Own – Personalized luxury experiences tailored to each guest.
• A World of Connections – Spaces and experiences that foster connection for both business and leisure travelers.
• A World of Good – Commitment to sustainability, community, and responsible stewardship of the planet.

WorldHotels is continually innovating, introducing experiential stays, fully licensed hotels, and branded residences to expand the ways guests can immerse themselves in the brand’s distinctive experiences. From outdoor adventures to culturally rich urban retreats, the brand ensures each stay leaves a lasting impression.

Headquartered in Frankfurt, Germany, WorldHotels is led by a team dedicated to excellence in independent hospitality. With its parent company, BWH Hotels, overseeing more than 4,300 hotels across 100+ countries, WorldHotels enjoys the benefits of a robust global network while maintaining the individuality, personal touch, and character that define independent luxury.
