The Leading Hotels of the World
Independent luxury, with Virtuoso benefits
About the program
Founded in 1928, The Leading Hotels of the World is a collection of more than 450 independently owned luxury hotels. LHW’s own loyalty program, Leaders Club, is separate: since 2022, bookings made through travel agencies earn Leaders Club points but not its member benefits.
Classic Travel’s benefits at Leading Hotels come through Virtuoso, at the many LHW hotels that are also Virtuoso partners: daily breakfast for up to two guests per bedroom, an upgrade on arrival when available, a hotel or resort credit, and early check-in or late checkout when available.
