I recently received exciting news about Preferred Hotels & Resorts that I thought would be of great interest to our readers: Preferred, the world’s largest hotel brand, will welcome nine new launches in 2022 into its global portfolio of unique hotels, resorts and residences.
Here’s a closer look at the new additions to the Preferred portfolio:
- Pendry Park City: Launching in January 2022, the ski-in, ski-out Pendry Park City offers a modernist take on a traditional alpine lodge, with 153 guestrooms, suites and residences.
- Passalacqua: Coming in June 2022, the Lake Como, Italy, ultra-luxury mansion retreat will boast 24 stylish suites designed by Paolo, Antonella and Valentina de Santis.
- The Fullerton Ocean Park Hotel Hong Kong: Launching in summer 2022, the eco-conscious ocean-front resort will offer 425 guestrooms and suites overlooking the South China Sea.
- Sly Berlin: In summer 2022 Berlin’s coolest new hotel comes to the Friedrichshain neighborhood. Its 150 guestrooms and suites will be housed across four modernized buildings, connected by open courtyard spaces and a greenhouse.
- Sommerro: Oslo, Norway, welcomes the rebirth of a restored 1930s landmark in September 2022 in the historic Frogner neighborhood. Through a multimillion-dollar renovation, Sommerro is set to be Norway’s largest-ever preservation project.
- The Wall Street Hotel: In winter 2022 this hotel opens in the Tontine Building, the city’s first Stock Exchange in 1729. Guests will enjoy a stylish rooftop bar and lounge with outdoor terrace.
- Amrit Ocean Resort & Residences: Coming in April 2022, this wellness resort comprises more than seven acres of prime oceanfront on Palm Beach County’s Singer Island, boasting 155 guestrooms, 34 grand luxury wellness suites and a four-story spa.
- TOA Hotel Spa: Zanzibar welcomes this resort in May 2022; on the Indian Ocean, it will offer 86 guestrooms, eight suites, three swimming pools, a spa, a restaurant, three bars and a relaxed café.
- Pendry Washington D.C.: The nation’s capital will welcome Pendry Washington D.C. in fall 2022 at The Wharf, with its 131 guestrooms, three dining and bar concepts, a spa and indoor and outdoor meeting spaces.
