Preferred Hotels reveals 2020 I Prefer Members’ Choice Award winners

Preferred Hotels & Resorts – the world’s largest independent hotel brand – has unveiled the winners of the third annual I Prefer Members’ Choice Awards and, as part of the celebration, announced a limited-time Bonus Points Promotion for new and existing members of its I Prefer Hotel Rewards programme.

Honouring 38 independent hotels, resorts, and residences across four regional categories, the 2020 global awards were determined directly by I Prefer members who cast their ballots to recognise the inimitable experiences they have enjoyed during past visits to any of the 700 properties that participate in I Prefer.

For 2020, Royal Plaza on Scotts in Singapore was declared the overall winner for its consistent delivery of exceptional guest services, with other top honours going to Grand Hotel Tremezzo in Lake Como, Italy; Boston Harbor Hotel in Massachusetts, US; and Half Moon in Montego Bay, Jamaica. While distinctly unique in their approach to hospitality, all of the renowned, award-winning properties are connected through an unwavering dedication to providing exemplary service and high-quality standards.

“At the foundation of I Prefer is a pledge to offer unparalleled levels of consistent, flexible, and rewarding hospitality,” said Jeri Salazar, Vice President of Loyalty, Preferred Hotels & Resorts. “Through these annual awards, we are proud to recognise what our I Prefer members find to be the most valued aspects of a hotel stay – genuine recognition, sincere personalisation, and heartfelt connections to local culture – which is something that our portfolio of independent hotels is uniquely positioned to provide.”
