The Leading Hotels of the World, founded in 1928, is the oldest alliance of independent luxury hotels. Unlike a chain, independent hotels across the globe keep their own history and philosophy while coming together under the LHW banner.

Every hotel in the collection has its own distinct architecture and design. Founded by European hoteliers in 1928 and thriving for more than 90 years, LHW is headquartered in New York with some 30 offices worldwide. In Korea, only two properties — The Shilla Seoul and Signiel Seoul — hold LHW membership.
