Travel Leaders Group has debuted a new consumer hotel website that showcases the offerings available in its portfolio of four- and five-star Select Hotels & Resorts.

The site does not accept bookings. Rather, Travel Leaders Group said it was designed to whet consumers’ travel appetites, and serves as a guide complementing the 2015 printed edition of Select Hotels & Resorts.

Furthermore, the site does not focus on price. “The race to the bottom is littered with countless cookie-cutter sites selling cookie-cutter hotel properties, yet with the dramatic increase in the number of luxury properties around the world, it’s clear that price is not the ultimate motivator for truly discerning travelers,” said Barry Liben, CEO of Travel Leaders Group. “Because of the enormous clout we have earned with the world’s most desirable properties, we’ve succeeded in negotiating exceptional rates with the type of value-added benefits our clients want most – and they can now see what each hotel has to offer via our new TLSelectHotels.com that we’re proudly unveiling today.”

Rates for Select Hotels & Resorts include daily breakfast for two, upgrades and early and late check-ins when available, and a host of other amenities.

The site will also serve as a selling tool of sorts for agents. “We anticipate that most of the time, our agents will be directing their clients to the site so they can browse properties together over the phone or in person,” said Steve Loucks, chief communications officer of Travel Leaders Group.

Consumers who are new to Travel Leaders Group will fill out form on the site and be redirected to participating agents.

The site itself is broken down into three sections. Where You’d Like to Go showcases properties in the categories of “near to home,” “a little farther afield” and “far away.” Under the When You’d Like to Go section, users are able to explore hotels based on their travel schedules. The What You’d Like to Do category helps travelers match their lifestyles and activities to a range of properties.

The Select Hotels & Resorts includes 850 hotels around the world.
