On December 12, 2024, Preferred Travel Group, a family-owned company that encompasses 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 recognize and honour the finest hotels in hospitality, celebrating 21 exceptional establishments across four global regions 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 recognize 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.”

I Prefer Hotel Rewards program members determine the winners of the I Prefer Members’ Choice Awards. This program is the world’s most extensive loyalty program for unique and independent hotel experiences.

This year, voter participation nearly doubled, indicating growth in both the program and member engagement. Members cast ballots throughout October to acknowledge their unique experiences at any of the 600 participating properties. Only hotels that belong to Preferred Travel Group’s family of brands and participate in I Prefer Hotel Rewards can receive nominations for these awards. Winners are selected based on their exceptional service and memorable experiences.
