If you're looking to book a stay at one of the world's best luxury hotels online, odds are you'll use one of two sites to make your reservation. Leading Hotels of the World and Kiwi Collection are the leaders in the industry, and both offer a wide variety of accommodations and locations. While each site has pros and cons, Kiwi Collection stands out thanks to the ease of use and almost overwhelming range of search options.

Leading Hotels of the World has been around since 1928 when a group of 38 forward-thinking European hoteliers came together to coordinate their marketing and sales efforts towards travel agents and the general public. Today, the prestigious organization counts over 430 participating hotels, resorts and spas, all of which have passed a rigorous application and inspection process. Recently LHotW unveiled a fantastic new reservation system on their website that also tells you everything you could ever possibly want to know about each property. You can also find many great deals and offers from the world's most famous hotels.

While Kiwi Collection hasn't been around for 80 years, they have quickly become the leading site for luxury hotel reservations. Kiwi Collection allows you to book rooms at over 1,000 of the world's finest properties, including a number of hotels that are invitation only.

One thing we love about Kiwi Collection is the ability to find a place perfectly suited to your lifestyle. Instead of simply searching by country and city, at Kiwi Collection you can search by style, setting, property type, brand, interest or affiliation. For instance we like to gamble in tropical settings, so we entered "gambling" as an interest and "tropical" as a setting. A minute later we were given a few options including the Ritz-Carlton in San Juan.

If you're staying at a property that's affiliated with Leading Hotels of the World you should probably use that website to book your stay. But if you aren't set on a particular location Kiwi Collection will help you find the perfect locale and hotel. For the best of both worlds you can even book reservations for LHotW hotels, spas and resorts at Kiwi Collection. Now that's teamwork.
