Part of a brand name (LEADING Hotels of the World)

I'm guessing that this refers to Carlton Hotel Baglioni Milan, which is one of the hotels under the Leading Hotels of the World (LHW酒店联盟集团) hospitality consortium ( www.lhw.com ). As such, all their offers begin with the word "Leading" (i.e. Leading In Advance, Leading Special Rate, Leading Extra Nights 5 for 4, Leading Suites, Leading Breakfast Inclusive, Leading Seasonal Offers, and so on)- http://bit.ly/1fFCOAG. It's the same for some other hotels under this group ( http://bit.ly/17VAbIl , http://bit.ly/1gewEoR , http://bit.ly/1c6wRtg )-- all offers begin with the word "Leading".

As this is a brand that doesn't seem to have a official Chinese translation apart from its initials "LHW"--or at least, it appears to be so when I did a quick Google check--IMHO, I suggest playing safe by just translating it as "LHW 套房“, ”LHW 早餐“. Alternatively, you could choose a Mandarin term which best brings out the meaning of "Leading" in this context. However, as a rule of thumb, I'm usually quite wary of translating brand names (or parts of it) that don't have official Chinese translations. I'll only translate a brand name upon approval from the brand guardian(s). The word "Leading" in this context goes beyond a dictionary definition--it is tied to part of a brand name.

Just my two cents.

To the asker: You're right, I think "Leading早餐" works as well, since you are leaving the brand name untouched :)
Note from asker:
Thank you very much, and I will check it finally. I am quite busy now.
You might be right, I did not realise Carlton hotel is under the group LHW, but I think "leading早餐" should be better.

Leading Hotel里的早餐

Leading Breakfast是大写。应该是指Leading hotel里的早餐。

如果Leading Hotels of the World译成世鼎级酒店联盟集团的话, 这里可翻译成
世鼎早餐
