Santorini, Bali, New York, Tokyo, Lake Como? You want to stay in the world’s very best hotels for free. We’re talking the ones that often run- over $1000 per night. While this totally sounds like a pipe dream, it’s absolutely doable for just about anyone, with a good little insight. Many points programs seem like an endless pyramid scheme in which you never have enough points for an amazing free night, and even when you do, there’s no availability, but one lesser known group offers a much better solution.

Complete Five One Night Stays-Get One Free, At Any SLH Hotel, Regardless Of Cost …

Once you’re a “loved” member, which you’d generally attain after completing just one stay at a SLH property (but you get immediately), you only need to accumulate five separate one night stays to earn a free night, anywhere within the SLH portfolio, provided you check in to at least two different hotels in the process. There are virtually no blackout dates or complicated points currencies. When you’ve done your five separate stays (which MUST be booked via the SLH website or reservations line, not the hotel), you just email, give the dates and location you’d like for your free stay. Next thing you know, free night. You can earn many. Full T&C’s…

That’s Right, You Can Book Cheap Stays And Then Redeem For Expensive Ones, over And Over…

SLH has many hotels, such as top properties on Lake Como in Italy that run 1000 per night. On the other hand, they have many charming properties in the US, Europe, Asia, Africa, Middle East and South Pacific that are somewhat cheap. It’s not at all hard to find SLH properties in countless other parts of the world where rooms go for less than $100 per night. Essentially, if you made five separate stays (single nights, separated by at least one night) at less than $100 per night, cashing in a free night worth more than $700 seems like an excellent rate of return. You can earn an unlimited amount of free nights, for every five stays. They even refer to you as “honored” guest at that stage…

As a side note, the Viceroy Bali would be this authors first choice, its magic. If we’ve failed to answer any questions into your brilliant future travel plans, here’s SLH’s FAQ’s…
