The Leading Hotels of the World and tech-enabled hotel management company Life House are teaming up to offer a turnkey solution for independent luxury hotel owners and developers.
The solution pairs the Leading Hotel’s global infrastructure of sales, marketing and distribution with Life House’s technology platform which has a proprietary revenue management and marketing system (RMMS) and operating platform that automates key back-office functions. Life House will now be a preferred management strategic partner of Leading Hotels.
The collaboration is fueled by the two entities shared mission to deliver exceptional experiences and services to guests and a superior return on investment to hotel owners and developers, they report. One of Leading Hotels’ historic properties, The Wheatleigh, a Gilded-Age era resort located in the Berkshires, has been managed by Life House since 2020.
“The Wheatleigh is a great example of the value that Life House brings to independent hotels, driving profitability for the owner, and elevating the guest experience through technology,” said Chris Walker, SVP/CCO, The Leading Hotels of the World. “We are excited to find new opportunities together that combine Leading Hotels’ standards of excellence with Life House’s innovative platform designed with today’s traveler in mind.”
“We are honored to work with The Leading Hotels of the World to usher in a new era of high-end hospitality,” said Rani Gharbie, SVP, acquisitions/head of urban growth, Life House. “Our technology platform has proven to adapt to any hotel, including five-star properties like the Wheatleigh, and we are looking forward to growing our luxury portfolio in North America and beyond.”
