Preferred Hotels & Resorts unveils new website dedicated to meeting and event professionals
The updated website incorporates improved search functionality, detailed content, and streamlined tools designed to efficiently facilitate event planning and booking
Preferred Hotels & Resorts, the world's largest independent luxury hotel brand, announces the relaunch of its Meeting Planner website (meetings.preferredhotels.com), designed to offer a premium digital experience for planners seeking luxury meeting and event venues.
Now fully accessible through the Preferred Hotels & Resorts website, the new platform simplifies the venue search process by integrating general hotel information with meeting-specific content. Planners and vendors can easily identify ideal venues and access key details—such as meeting room size, number of event spaces, total room capacity, proximity to the airport, ideal and maximum group size, taxes and additional fees, and more—enabling them to submit requests for proposals (RFPs) with complete confidence. A dedicated search experience allows for filtering by location and essential meeting criteria, while results highlight the most relevant information tailored to planners' needs. Future updates, planned for 2026, will include additional filters such as group rates, buyout availability, natural light, and room configurations, along with a cloud-based resource library that will offer instant access to menus, floor plans, virtual tours, and space diagrams.
“Guided by the insights of our MICE Advisory Board, a dedicated group of internal contributors and industry experts who meet quarterly to share feedback and define priorities, this relaunch represents a major advancement in how we support planners and vendors,” said Amy Butterfield, Senior Vice President of Global Sales – Groups, Preferred Hotels & Resorts. “The updates reflect our strong commitment to the meetings and events segment and ensure we continue to evolve in line with the needs of our planning community.”
The revamped Meeting Planner site also integrates the I Prefer Planner program, which transforms meetings and events held at more than 600 independent hotels in over 80 countries into rewards and memorable experiences. Planners earn 5 points for every US$1 in booking revenue through the Preferred Hotels & Resorts global sales team, with the ability to accumulate up to 500,000 points per program.
