DALLAS -- Small Luxury Hotels of the World, a global consortium of 270 of the world's finest hotels and resorts, will debut a new short-term guest loyalty program called 'Invitation to Experience.' Set to debut March 1st, the program encourages SLH guests to visit a second SLH-member property in North America & Caribbean prior to May 24, 2002, by rewarding them with a $100.00 credit towards a two-night minimum stay. This new program is SLH's way of saying thank you to repeat customers and a means to encourage loyalty to the SLH brand in North America.

An 'Invitation to Experience' is structured as a gift voucher program, and the vouchers will be distributed to guests during checkout at participating Small Luxury Hotels of the World properties for use at another SLH member property in the region.

The voucher must be presented at check-in during the guest's second SLH visit and can be used toward incidental charges incurred during the stay or toward an upgrade to a higher room category. The voucher will be applicable to all rates and/or rate types and may not be used against the room rate, room occupancy tax or any other room-associated charges.

Reservations at any SLH member hotel can be made by calling Small Luxury Hotels of the World, 800-525-4800, visiting the Web site at www.slh.com or by contacting a travel professional. Hotels interested in becoming members of Small Luxury Hotels of the World can apply online at www.slh.com or contact the SLH Dallas office at (972) 866-8010.
