WorldHotels has announced an impressive year of growth in 2025 fueled by increasing demand for authentic, experiential travel. The global brand of independent luxury and lifestyle hotels has significantly expanded its footprint, welcoming nearly 100 new luxury and upscale hotels across 12 countries, new glamping locations, as well as the development of WorldHotels Residences, now under construction.
“Last year was a watershed year for WorldHotels. We didn’t just grow our portfolio; we continued to innovate and transform our offerings to accommodate the changing luxury traveler’s needs,” said Ron Pohl, president of WorldHotels. “Each property has its own independent soul, history and unique offering which continues to resonate with today’s guests. The luxury travel industry is on track to reach $1.7 trillion by 2032, and we’re seeing consumers in this category crave more personalized, one-of-a-kind experiences. That’s why we’re expanding into branded residences, glamping and wellness offerings, providing them with the flexibility and authenticity they’re seeking.”
