The 8 Best Ennismore (sbe) Hotels in the World [SLS, Mondrian & More]

Ennismore (formerly known as sbe) is an international collection of hotel brands, restaurants, bars, and lounges with a presence in major nightlife hubs across the planet.

Ennismore brands, which include hotel brands SLS Hotels & Residences, Mondrian, Delano, The Redbury, Hyde Hotels & Residences, and more, are generally known for offering dining, nightlife, and hospitality services that are second-to-none.

Since the group is relatively small, we’ll explore all of Ennismore’s brands and give you the inside scoop on the best ones to book — let’s get started!

What Is Ennismore?

Ennismore began as sbe, originally founded in 2002 by Sam Nazarian. It has since expanded to open hotels, residences, restaurants, nightclubs, and more in renowned nightlife hubs including Miami, New York, Dubai, Doha, and Cancún.

The group focuses on delivering luxury hotel and entertainment experiences, including inspiring design elements, modern accommodations, incredible clubs, gastronomic restaurants, chic lounges, and posh spas.

With respect to hotels, Ennismore is best known for brands like SLS, Delano, and Mondrian. The group also owns and operates internationally known restaurants and lounges including Katsuya, The Bazaar by José Andrés, Umami Burger, and more.

Let’s take a look at how you can use credit cards to maximize stays at Ennismore properties.

Ennismore DisLoyalty Program

The Ennismore DisLoyalty Program encourages guests to try something new. After joining the program (which has a yearly membership fee), members can save on 75+ hotels in the Dis-Loyalty Collective, which includes brands like Mondrian, Delano, SLS, and more.

How To Maximize Ennismore Stays With Credit Cards

Getting extra value from your stay can be as easy as using the right credit card.

Depending on which channel you use to book your stay, you can get discounts, benefits, and more. We’re now going to explore how using the right credit cards can add value, starting with using points for stays at Ennismore properties.

How To Use Points for Ennismore Stays

Redeeming ALL – Accor Live Limitless Reward Points

Ennismore is fully owned by Accor Hotels which allows travelers to earn and redeem ALL – Accor Live Limitless Reward points at Ennismore properties around the world.

You’ll get a fixed value of €40 (~$47) for every 2,000 Rewards points you redeem. That means each of your Reward points is worth about 2.35 cents.

Hot Tip: The SLS Beverly Hills is owned by Sunrider International and managed by Marriott, which means you can earn and redeem Marriott Bonvoy points exclusively at this SLS property! 

Redeeming Chase Ultimate Rewards Points

Chase Ultimate Rewards is one of the most attractive rewards currencies in the world. By making purchases on certain Chase credit cards, you will accrue Ultimate Rewards points.

Chase maintains transfer partnerships with some hotel chains that allow travelers to get outsize value when redeeming points, but no such relationship exists with Accor, which is why we recommend using the Chase travel portal to book your stay with points. Depending on which card you have, you can get up to 1.5 cents per point of value!

You’ll get 1.5 cents per point in value from the Chase Sapphire Reserve^®, while you’ll get 1.25 cents per point in value from the Chase Sapphire Preferred^® Card and the Ink Business Preferred^® Credit Card. Finally, you’ll get a 1 cent per point value from Chase Freedom Flex℠, Chase Freedom Unlimited^®, Ink Business Cash® Credit Card, and Ink Business Unlimited® Credit Card.

That means a $1,500 stay will cost as few as 100,000 Chase Ultimate Rewards points if you hold the Chase Sapphire Reserve card, while if you have the Chase Sapphire Preferred card, you’d get $1,250 in value from 100,000 points.

Hot Tip: Have the Chase Sapphire Reserve card or Chase Sapphire Preferred card? You can get Ennismore hotel benefits on paid hotel stays, including your fourth night free, $30 hotel credit, complimentary room upgrade (where available), free continental breakfast, and more!

Redeeming Citi ThankYou Points

The next option to consider is Citi ThankYou Rewards, which offers a flat redemption value for any travel booked through the Citi Travel Center (including flights, hotels, cruises, car rentals, and more).

When you redeem Citi ThankYou Points for SLS stays, you will get a redemption value of 1 cent per point. Alternatively, you can transfer Citi ThankYou Points to Accor Live Limitless at a 2:1 ratio.

Redeeming Capital One Miles

Capital One miles can be earned through a number of the issuer’s Venture and Spark credit cards.

The miles you earn can be redeemed in 2 ways:

• Transfers to ALL – Accor Live Limitless at a 2:1 ratio (redemption value of ~1.175 cents per point)
• Capital One Travel portal (redemption value of 1 cent per point)

As you can see above, transferring Capital One miles to ALL – Accor Live Limitless will give you a slightly better value.

Redeeming American Express Membership Rewards Points

Unfortunately, no Ennismore properties are part of the Fine Hotels & Resorts program. This means you can only redeem your points through the AmexTravel.com portal for a value of 0.7 cents per point on upcoming Ennismore stays.

Book via Amex’s The Hotel Collection

If you happen to be paying for your stay instead of redeeming points for it, you might consider booking through The Hotel Collection, which confers a room upgrade upon arrival, if available, and a $100 property credit per stay.

Currently, there are 8 Ennismore properties that are part of The Hotel Collection:

To book a stay at The Hotel Collection, you must have an eligible American Express card, like the American Express^® Gold Card, American Express^® Business Gold Card, The Platinum Card^® from American Express, The Business Platinum Card^® from American Express, or Centurion^® Card from American Express.

Hot Tip: Amex Platinum cardmembers can also get up to $200 in statement credits every year on prepaid hotel stays of 2 or more nights at The Hotel Collection booked via AmexTravel.com!

Book via Virtuoso

Virtuoso offers another way for anyone to get elite-like benefits on hotel stays, as long as you book your stay through a Virtuoso advisor. When you make a Virtuoso booking, you’ll get:

• Daily breakfast for 2
• A room upgrade upon arrival, subject to availability
• Early check-in and late checkout, subject to availability
• A Virtuoso amenity, such as a $100 food-and-beverage credit or a $100 property credit
• Complimentary Wi-Fi

Currently, the following SLS properties participate in Virtuoso:

• SLS Beverly Hills
• SLS Brickell
• SLS South Beach

Bottom Line: The difference between Virtuoso and The Hotel Collection is that Virtuoso bookings offer daily breakfast, early check-in, late checkout, and free Wi-Fi. However, there are fewer properties participating in Virtuoso than The Hotel Collection. You need an eligible Amex card to book a stay at The Hotel Collection, while you need to make Virtuoso bookings through an eligible advisor.

Using the Citi Prestige^® Card Fourth-Night Free Benefit

The Citi Prestige card, though not open for new applications, still has one of the most useful hotel perks in the world: its fourth-night free benefit.

If you book through the ThankYou Rewards site or via phone at 800-THANK-YOU, you can receive your fourth night free for bookings of 4 consecutive nights or more.

You can use this perk twice each calendar year, which is a fantastic way to save up to 25% on your booking, especially if you’re booking during the high season when average room rates are elevated!

Book Directly for Exclusive Offers and Packages

Ennismore offers a catalog of special offers that can help you enjoy your stay even more.

From complimentary cabana rentals to rate discounts, couples spa retreats, and even access to exclusive performances by artists like John Legend, there’s bound to be something worth considering for everybody!

You’ll need to book directly with the property to access these offers.
