The heartland of the collection: the Ritz Paris, Badrutt's Palace, the Sachers, Monte-Carlo's palaces, and the deepest Alpine bench in luxury travel.
By Biirdee Travel. Updated 2026-06-10.
Western Europe is where LHW was born, and its 97 members here remain the collection's spine. Paris brings the Ritz and La Réserve; Switzerland alone fields 35 members — Badrutt's Palace, Baur au Lac, the Dolder Grand, Gstaad Palace — the deepest alpine line-up under any flag; Vienna and Salzburg answer with the Sachers; Monaco with all three of Monte-Carlo's palace hotels.
Every hotel below carries Leaders Club benefits — breakfast for two, upgrade requests, points toward free nights — and Biirdee stacks partner perks on top where we hold direct relationships. "Check live rates" links open each property on our booking site.
The Ritz Paris, La Réserve Paris, Fouquet's Paris, J.K. Place Paris, and Fauchon L'Hôtel as of 2026 — note that several famous palaces (Le Bristol, the Four Seasons George V) belong to other groups or none.
Switzerland and Austria dominate: Badrutt's Palace, Kulm, and Suvretta House in St. Moritz; Gstaad Palace; Mont Cervin in Zermatt; The Chedi Andermatt; the K2 trio in Courchevel; and Zürserhof on the Arlberg.
Yes — it's a flagship member, and qualifying bookings carry breakfast for two, upgrade requests, and points. Biirdee handles the booking and the stacking; see how Leaders Club works.
