New Search Interface Allows Travelers to Hone In On Experience, Hotel That Suits Their Interests
CHICAGO – April 7, 2015 – Preferred Hotel Group, the world’s largest independent hotel brand representing more than 650 distinctive properties across 85 countries, has introduced a new web interface that allows travelers to choose their own adventure. This new search option comes as an integral part of Preferred Hotels & Resorts’ comprehensive rebranding strategy, which launched in early March, that focuses on how to best meet modern travelers’ desires and interests.
Hotels within Preferred Hotels & Resorts’ dynamic portfolio can now be selected by travelers’ preferences through an extensive, clickable menu, aptly compiled and categorized by Preferred Hotels & Resorts’ team of travel experts. This new interactive feature presents a series of options such as a hotel’s settings (e.g. beach, lake, mountain, city), amenities, interests (e.g. culinary, honeymoon, LGBT-friendly), style (e.g. tranquil, hip, stately, eco-friendly), family-friendly offerings (e.g. baby-sitting, kids club, spacious connecting rooms/suites), and activities (e.g. winter sports, hiking, cooking classes, horseback riding), allowing travelers to precisely hone in on a hotel that suits their needs and interests and provides the type of travel experience they seek.
