WorldHotels, the independent hotel brand owned by BWH Hotels, is continuing to grow its footprint with more than 40 hotels in the pipeline, following roughly 100 additions in 2025. It marks WorldHotels’ first move into residential real estate, a category many hotel brands have chased in recent years. Growth Through PartnershipsMuch of the brand’s recent growth has come through the WorldHotels Crafted collection, a group built around independent hotels with strong local character. Two wellness-focused properties, Hotel Terme San Michele & SPA in Ischia, Italy, and Acqua di Mare Resort in Roatan, Honduras, round out that push. Behind all this, BWH Hotels is leaning on its Upscale & Luxury Worldwide Sales division to connect these independent properties with corporate and leisure travel buyers.
