NEW YORK—Time Inc.’s Southern Living introduces the Southern Living Hotel Collection—a small, curated group of independent, four- and five-star level hotels, resorts, and inns that span 18 Southern states.
Hotels in the collection are vetted according to the same criteria editors use to determine editorial coverage. The collection is by invitation only. It is launching with 15 hotels, but the brand will continue to select additional properties over the coming years until the list reaches up to 100 locations across the South.
“The 15 charter members of the Southern Living Hotel Collection are made up of iconic Southern resorts, historic Southern hotels, and newly discovered Southern inns,” said Southern Living Publisher Greg Schumann. “We’re very proud of our unique collection as they all serve to provide the very best in Southern hospitality.”
