The Preferred Hotels portfolio added 28 member properties between July 1 and September 30, 2026, marking its largest quarterly addition since 2024, the company said on October 27.

Key Takeaways

  • The additions include hotels in Spain, Italy, the Maldives, the United States, Japan and China.
  • Preferred Hotels & Resorts said it represents more than 650 properties across 80 countries.
  • A loyalty-points promotion was announced, but its published stay deadline precedes the announcement.

Preferred Hotels portfolio expands across regions

The new members range from city hotels and historic properties to an all-inclusive private-island resort. They include UMusic Hotel Madrid in Spain, Palazzo Trezza in Verona, Italy, and Diamonds Thudufushi in the Maldives.

Other additions include Washington Duke Inn & Golf Club in Durham, North Carolina; THE FUJIYA HOTEL in Hakone, Japan; and HOTEL BANOV TOWNSCAPE WUHAN in China.

Chief Executive Officer Lindsey Ueberroth said the 28 additions represented the brand’s largest quarterly intake since 2024. The company said its portfolio represents more than 650 hotels, resorts, residences and hotel groups across 80 countries.

Loyalty offer carries an inconsistent date

Preferred Hotels & Resorts said members of its I Prefer rewards program could earn 2,500 bonus points on eligible stays at participating new properties for a limited time. It listed a booking deadline of December 31, 2026, but gave a stay deadline of March 31, 2026, before the announcement and the quarter in which the hotels joined. The intended stay deadline is unclear.

The company said the free-to-join rewards program has more than 6 million members and covers over 700 participating hotels and resorts worldwide.
