Notes on the series. Hotel-native institutions enter as cross-references inside the article of the house that holds them, not as separate codes — a bar or spa receives its own entry only when it has become a name in its own right. Seasonal and fashion collaborations are recorded as dated lines within a house, never as entries. Residential clinics and estates, however wellness-led, belong to the main register: they sell nights. Entries carry permanent LHL-S codes once published; drafts await verification by two independent sources. · Published by LVXVRY under Editorial Manifesto LHL-001 v1.6.
