Preferred Hotels & Resorts adds 11 members to Legend Collection

Preferred Hotels & Resorts has added 11 hotels and resorts to its Legend Collection so far this year.

Many of the new members have recently opened, including two from Bless Collection Hotels: Bless Ibiza The Site, which launched in June, and Bless Hotel Barcelona, which debuted in August.

A third Spanish property, Serras Sevilla (pictured), has also joined the line-up after opening last month.

Elsewhere in Europe, San Clemente Palace Venice and Mythic Sana Downtown Suites in Lisbon have also become members.

Two Asian hotels have been added to the collection: Dusit Thani Bangkok in a high-rise overlooking the Thai city, and The Leela Coorg Forest Sanctuary in Madikeri, framed by India’s Western Ghats mountain range.

In the US, Nevada’s Edgewood Tahoe Resort and The Cooper in Charleston, South Carolina have been added. 

Other new members include Moroccan hotel Palais Jamaï, which is set to open in Fez Medina this month, providing 94 rooms and suites.

Wynn Al Marjan Island resort in Ras Al Khaimah will also join the collection when it opens its doors next spring, with 1,530 rooms, 12 pools and 22 food and beverage venues.

With the new additions, the brand’s Legend Collection now includes more than 125 “legendary properties worldwide”. 

Lindsey Ueberroth, Preferred Hotels & Resorts chief executive, said: “Today’s luxury traveller is not looking for one prescribed idea of the perfect hotel. They are seeking experiences that speak to their individual interests, whether that means reconnecting with nature, engaging with a destination’s cultural heritage, discovering a new culinary perspective or experiencing an iconic city from a more personal point of view. 

“The latest additions to our Legend Collection reflect this shift while sharing the distinctive character that make each of them a legendary hotel.”
