Small Luxury Hotels of the World has recruited Mike Bonner as commercial director for part of its business.
Bonner joins from PR and sales representation business Perowne International where he was global director of sales, marketing and digital.
In his new role, he will head up commercial for SLH Services, which provides services for independent hotels globally including sales under the ‘Independently Yours’ brand, marketing, content creation, revenue management and distribution.
Bonner joined Perowne International in June 2022. Prior to that he worked as director of sales and marketing at Rosewood London for five years.
He has more than 30 years’ experience in the travel industry, and previously held senior roles at Silversea, Maybourne Hotel Group and One&Only Resorts.
A spokesperson for SLH said: “These bespoke services are designed to be available to SLH member hotels as a provision outside of their standard membership but also to properties not part of the SLH portfolio.
“In his role, Mike will manage the development of the division, drawing on the knowledge and expertise of SLH and its sister brand, Luxury Hospitality Partners (LHP), to offer these bespoke services to independent hotels.”
