38 Hotels Honored Globally with Singapore’s Royal Plaza on Scotts Ranked #1
NEWPORT BEACH, CALIFORNIA – January 13, 2021: Preferred Hotels & Resorts – the world’s largest independent hotel brand – today 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 program. Honoring 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 recognize 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 honors going to Grand Hotel Tremezzo in Lake Como, Italy; Boston Harbor Hotel in Massachusetts, United States; 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 recognize what our I Prefer members find to be the most valued aspects of a hotel stay – genuine recognition, sincere personalization, and heartfelt connections to local culture – which is something that our portfolio of independent hotels is uniquely positioned to provide.”
