The Leading Hotels of the World Expands LSS Program with New Revenue Management and Payment Solutions

The Leading Hotels of the World (LHW) is pleased to announce the extension of its partnership with DayBlink GPO, the largest luxury hospitality buying consortium. LHW and DayBlink GPO have partnered for five years, and this continued collaboration underscores a shared commitment to empowering independent hotels worldwide with solutions that deliver measurable impact across distribution, revenue management, hotel technology, and beyond.


“We are proud to continue our partnership with The Leading Hotels of the World, supporting independent hotels in achieving both operational excellence and sustainable growth,” said Michael Wong, CEO of DayBlink GPO. “We continue to evolve the program to address the changing needs of hotels in a dynamic marketplace.”


Through the Leading Strategic Sourcing (LSS) program, powered by DayBlink GPO, LHW hotels not only achieve significant cost savings that strengthen their bottom lines, but also unlock additional strategic value. Today, the program includes nearly 70 suppliers, and over the past year, LSS contracts have grown by more than 135%. The program has driven strong performance across all categories for LHW’s global portfolio of 425+ hotels. Within the distribution landscape, for example, LHW has seen more than 100% year-over-year growth in arrivals through suppliers such as Hotelbeds and WebBeds. As part of this next phase of the LSS program, LHW has welcomed a new cohort of preferred suppliers across key categories, including payment solutions and revenue management.


“At LHW, we are proud to partner with companies that not only understand the operational complexity of independent hotels but also empower them to optimize performance and innovate with confidence,” said Phil Koserowski, Senior Vice President & Chief Marketing Officer, The Leading Hotels of the World. “With this next phase of the LSS program, we’re introducing smart, advanced solutions, from intelligent payment platforms to innovative revenue management solutions that help hotels enhance profitability while deepening brand desirability. These partners enable our members to modernize with purpose, staying agile and independent.”


In the payments category, four new suppliers have been selected for their commitment to excellence, innovation, and their ability to serve the requirements of LHW’s global portfolio:


  • Planet Payments: Supports hospitality brands to elevate guest experiences while driving profitability. Their platform offers Dynamic Currency Conversion rebates, tech-enabled convenience fees, and innovative acquiring services that streamline payments across front desk, F&B, and online channels.


  • Worldpay: Helps hotels boost profitability with secure, seamless payments across 135 currencies and multiple methods. Their global platform offers revenue-generating tools like Dynamic Currency Conversion and cost-saving solutions such as Disputes Defender for chargebacks. With advanced fraud protection and real-time reporting, hotel leaders can optimize performance.


  • Canary Technologies: Elevates the guest experience by modernizing touchpoints between hotels and guests. Its hotel technology platform offers services such as Payment Links and Digital Contracts to streamline contracting, simplify payment collection, and enhance efficiency, all while ensuring a seamless guest journey.


  • ROH: Transforms how hotels manage payments, from group sales and events to contracted revenue and beyond. Its intelligent payments platform converts manual processes into automated workflows, unlocking greater efficiency and profitability.


In the revenue management systems category, three providers have been selected for their expertise in revenue optimization and their innovative, data-driven technology:


  • Duetto: Empowers hospitality brands to optimize revenue and profitability through the industry’s first Revenue & Profit Operating System, moving beyond traditional RMS tools to connect all aspects of hotel revenue and operations within one unified platform.
