Preferred Hotels & Resorts Launches Preferred Wellbeing Distinction

Preferred Hotels & Resorts, a top hotel network spanning hundreds of properties in 80 countries, has just launched a Preferred Wellbeing distinction. 

Preferred Wellbeing spotlights more than 50 hotels within the network’s portfolio that offer immersive, holistic wellness experiences and lead major hospitality wellness trends. The new collection is a response to Preferred’s Luxury Travel Report, which found that “a third of luxury travelers are actively seeking transformational wellness journeys, and 77% agree that true luxury today means escaping the pressure to post and impress online.” 

“We are thrilled to introduce Preferred Wellbeing, which reflects an elevated focus on holistic wellness across our global portfolio,” said Lindsey Ueberroth, CEO of Preferred Hotels & Resorts. “Our latest research shows that travelers are increasingly prioritizing experiences that support physical, mental, and transformative wellbeing. Preferred Wellbeing was created to help guests easily discover and book hotels that are defining what’s next in the wellness space.”   

To earn the Preferred Wellbeing distinction, hotels must meet 10 of 12 criteria within five categories: rest and recovery, movement, nourishment, connection to place, and environmental responsibility. 

Hotels and resorts in the collection are leaders in wellness trends, such as longevity, integrative healing, hydrotherapy, nature‑based restoration, and personalized multi‑day journeys. Some of properties include Amrit Ocean Resort and Residences – Singer Island in Florida, Grand Velas Riviera Maya in Mexico, Post Ranch Inn in California, and Parco dei Principi Grand Hotel & SPA in Rome.
