Today, Preferred Travel Group – the family-owned company of brands and programs such as Preferred Hotels & Resorts, Beyond Green, Historic Hotels of America, and Historic Hotels Worldwide – announced the winners of the prestigious 2024 I Prefer Members’ Choice Awards. In its seventh year, the awards celebrate the best of hospitality, with 21 exceptional hotels across four global regions recognised for their outstanding service and unique offerings. Notable winners include Biltmore Hotel, Dromoland Castle, The Fullerton Hotel Singapore, and Half Moon, each earning top honours in their respective categories.
“It is a true privilege to have the unwavering support and engagement of our discerning I Prefer members, whose feedback enables us to recognise our member properties setting the benchmark for exceptional, meaningful, and inspiring travel experiences this year,” said Lindsey Ueberroth, CEO of Preferred Travel Group. “We are incredibly proud to celebrate these outstanding hotels, as their success reflects the passion and commitment that make every guest experience unforgettable.”
The I Prefer Members’ Choice Awards winners are decided by members of the I Prefer Hotel Rewards programme, the world’s biggest loyalty programme for independent and unique hotel experiences. This year, voter participation nearly doubled, indicating growth in both the programme as well as member engagement. Ballots were cast throughout the month of October in recognition of the inimitable experiences I Prefer members enjoyed at any of the 600 participating properties. Only hotels from Preferred Travel Group’s family of brands and programmes that participate in I Prefer Hotel Rewards can be nominated for these awards, with winners determined exclusively for their dedicated delivery of exemplary service and memorable experiences.
