A permanent research institution for the luxury hotel industry.
The LHB Research Institute publishes proprietary intelligence, indices, awards and thematic studies for principals, operators and institutional investors in luxury hospitality. Editorially independent. Methodologically transparent. Organised as enduring research divisions.
The Institute exists to advance the global luxury hotel industry through independent intelligence — research assets designed to compound in value across decades rather than inform a single market cycle.
Luxury Hotel Brokers exists to create and apply trusted knowledge that improves decisions throughout the global luxury hospitality industry.
The Institute invests in research and intelligence because trusted knowledge — independently produced, methodologically transparent and preserved as a permanent record — is the foundation on which better decisions are made across the sector.
Six enduring departments, each with a permanent editorial mandate.
Luxury Hotel Knowledge Graph™
The proprietary intellectual foundation of the institution. Every hotel, group, owner, operator, architect, region, transaction and award — interconnected as one editorial graph.
Market Intelligence Division
Continuous monitoring of capital values, transactions and operating performance across the world's luxury hospitality markets.
Revenue Intelligence Division
The world's authority on non-room revenue optimisation within luxury hospitality. Home of Non-Room Revenue Intelligence™.

Publications Programme
The permanent architecture that turns isolated reports into enduring publication families — consistent branding, numbering, methodology, archives and historical comparisons.
The methodological and editorial foundations that govern every division.
Methodology
How every index, report and analytical framework is constructed. Disclosed in full.

The editorial, ethical and analytical standards that govern everything the Institute publishes.
Editorial Board

Future Contributors
A standing invitation to senior practitioners interested in contributing to the Institute's work.
A permanent publishing platform. Every report assembled from the Knowledge Graph.
The Research Platform holds a permanent, structured record for every luxury hospitality asset — the Luxury Hotel Intelligence Record™. Reports are not written as isolated pages; they are dynamically assembled from citable, version-controlled knowledge with per-field source attribution and confidence ratings.
Intelligence Record™
Structured schema covering identity, location, physical, ownership, financial and revenue intelligence for every asset.
Field-level Attribution
Every field carries a source, confidence rating (low, medium, high) and as-of date. Citations belong to the record, not the report.
Version-controlled Publications
Reports carry an ID, version, editor, reviewer, methodology and permanent snapshots. Every edition is preserved for historical comparison.
