Blacklane, the global chauffeur service, and Global Hotel Alliance (GHA), an alliance of independent hotel brands, have announced a partnership aimed at enhancing luxury travel and lifestyle experiences for travellers worldwide.
As part of the first phase of the collaboration, members of the GHA DISCOVERY loyalty programme will gain access to benefits when using Blacklane’s chauffeur services across more than 500 cities globally. These benefits include complimentary gift vouchers and added value on Blacklane bookings, designed to provide a seamless travel experience from home to destination.
In return, Blacklane guests will be able to accelerate their status within the GHA DISCOVERY programme and access rewards including DISCOVERY Dollars (D$), which can be redeemed across more than 1,000 GHA hotels and resorts worldwide. The rewards currency can also be used at restaurants operated by The Wolseley Hospitality Group in London and across more than 260 restaurants within the Rotana Hotels & Resorts portfolio in the Middle East.
Dr. Jens Wohltorf, founder and CEO, Blacklane, commented, “Bringing Blacklane to GHA DISCOVERY’s member community is an exciting milestone. We’re thrilled to welcome GHA hotel guests to our portfolio of experiences designed with the discerning traveler in mind. Our collaboration is about more than member rewards; it is a true partnership to enhance luxury travel worldwide. Together, GHA and Blacklane are ensuring international travelers have access to benefits that enhance how they arrive at some of the world’s best luxury hotels and resorts.”
Christopher Hartley, CEO, GHA, added, “Partnering with Blacklane extends our hospitality beyond the hotel stay, enriching the entire travel experience. Our members value thoughtful details that create memorable journeys, and Blacklane shares this philosophy. We look forward to adding further benefits as this exciting collaboration grows.”
The partnership will cover services including airport transfers, city rides and long-distance travel, alongside stays at GHA member brands such as Anantara Hotels & Resorts, Capella Hotels and Resorts, Kempinski Hotels, Nikki Beach Hotels & Resorts, Pan Pacific Hotels Group and Viceroy Hotels & Resorts.
All partnership benefits will be available from May 8, 2026.
