Award

Preferred Hotels

Preferred Hotels & Resorts runs a collection system for independent luxury properties rather than a traditional annual award. The L.V.X. Collection sits at the summit of its tier structure, grouping hotels that meet particular standards for service and facilities while remaining outside major chain ownership. Hotels apply for membership and maintain their status through ongoing compliance with Preferred's requirements. The 2025 L.V.X. Collection includes properties that qualified under these standards. If you're comparing independent hotel designations, understand that Preferred operates as a booking network with quality benchmarks, not a competitive ranking like other hospitality awards.
