Today’s travellers are embracing pared-back extravagance by interacting with local cultures, respecting nature and participating in something that feels bigger than themselves. That’s the verdict from Small Luxury Hotels of the World (SLH), which has identified six themes defining the luxury hospitality scene in 2020 and the progressive hotels delivering these experiences.
CONSCIOUS LUXURY
Discerning travellers now expect bioarchitecture, conservation projects, plastic-free initiatives and carbon neutrality.
Check out: Aleenta Resort and Spa Hua Hin in Thailand, which champions carbon-free cooking and Harbour Village Beach Club in Bonaire, where guests who dive can learn how to hang and maintain corals and become PADI certified in coral restoration.
DISPERSED HOTELS
Dispersed Hotels span several buildings in one small town or village, creating a unique micro-community for guests and locals.
