Preferred Hotel Group has kicked off its annual celebration of Independent Hotel Day by declaring the winners of its 2021 I Prefer Members’ Choice Awards.
The ultra-luxurious Atelier Playa Mujeres in Cancun, Mexico, was named the overall global winner, as well as the winner of the North American category, and other top regional accolades went to The Fullerton Hotel Singapore, Turtle Inn in Belize, and Belmont Champs Elysees in Paris, France.
To extend the celebrations and to thank I Prefer members worldwide for continuing to Believe in Travel, Preferred has launched a limited-time 5,000 bonus points offer valid for bookings made at any of the 40 winning properties.
“As the world continues to reopen to international travel and with hoteliers excitedly re-welcoming many more guests back through their doors, it is the ideal time to recognize the incredible resilience and independent spirit of our member hotels and their dedicated teams,” said Alison McDermott, Vice President of Global Merchandising and Marketing for Preferred Hotels & Resorts. “While Preferred believes that every day is Independent Hotel Day, today, we celebrate it with our loyal I Prefer Members in honour of these best-in-class hotels that have not only weathered the storm but come through the other side thriving!”
Only hotels from Preferred Hotel Group’s family of brands that participate in I Prefer Hotel Rewards – the world’s biggest loyalty program for independent and unique hotel experiences – can be nominated in the I Prefer Members’ Choice Awards, with winners decided exclusively by I Prefer Members in recognition of consistently high quality standards and exceptional, personalized experiences. For 2021, hotels spanning 26 countries were selected as winners across four regional categories – and this year marks the first time that properties from Preferred Hotel Group’s recently launched sustainable brand Beyond Green were included, resulting in wins for Turtle Inn in Belize and The Brando in French Polynesia.
