This recognition is a testament to our commitment to responsible tourism and the hard work of our dedicated teams. By protecting and honouring our natural surroundings, we’re able to create experiences that not only inspire our guests but also safeguard these precious environments for generations to come.

A new chapter begins for Salter Brothers Hospitality.   We’re thrilled to share our refreshed identity and vision—a bold expression of our ambition to lead Australia’s luxury retreat hotels into a remarkable future.   In just over a year, we’ve become Australia’s leading luxury retreat hotel operator, curating unforgettable experiences under the Spicers Retreats, Bannisters, and independent brands. With Ardour Hotels & Estates joining us in 2025, our story continues to grow.   This new SBH brand reflects who we are and where we’re going: a commitment to ‘the art of hospitality, quality, innovation, and creating lasting connections with our guests and extraordinary team. With a vision to expand our portfolio and craft even more extraordinary retreats, we’re looking forward to sharing the unique magic of our retreats with the world.   We’re proud of what we’ve accomplished, and we can’t wait to embark on this next chapter together.
