Small Luxury Hotels Adds Five New Members in the Americas

As the world slowly prepares to restart travel, particularly to domestic destinations, Small Luxury Hotels of the World (SLH) welcomes five new member hotels—two in the U.S., plus Mexico, Brazil and Costa Rica.

Here are the new additions: 

Riverview Ranch, Montana (Eight rooms)

A private ranch property in the Western Montana region, Riverview Ranch offers abundant wildlife, white-water rafting and trout fishing in two private lakes and the Clark Fork River. Guests can enjoy a host of activities at the ranch from arena lessons and paddle board yoga to cattle driving, pole bending and river floating. The ranch can also arrange a Polaris Ranger tour for guests to discover Montana’s wildlife, including osprey, eagles, red-tailed hawks, elks, white tail deer and big horn sheep.

Cougar Ridge, Utah (Eight rooms)

Cougar Ridge is one of the most remote and scenic regions of the country. The resort is located about two hour’s drive from Salt Lake City or Las Vegas airports. Located in the heart of the Utah national park area, the property has easy access to Capital Reef, Bryce and Zion National Park. The luxury ranch resort offers an assortment of activities ranging from horseback riding for all ability levels, rodeo activities, photography, painting, wood and rock carving, beer and winemaking, night sky parties and viewing, guided national park adventures, to hunting and trout fishing in private streams.

Tip: Cougar Ridge is a mini working ranch—feel free to get your hands dirty and experience the life of a farmhand, from feeding the animals, cleaning the shed to driving the tractor. There is also a Game Room in the basement of the lodge that you can rent out for a night of fun—it comes with a bar, golf simulator and a two-lane bowling alley.
