Choice Privileges

Preferred Hotels & Resorts is proud to continue its long-standing partnership with Choice Hotels®, a global hospitality leader with a robust Choice Privileges® loyalty program boasting 61 million members. This collaboration allows Choice Privileges® members to redeem their loyalty points for stays at participating Preferred Hotels, creating a valuable, opaque revenue stream for hotels.

The renewed program introduces a dynamic rate model that replaces the previous static structure, offering more flexibility and revenue management control. With a seamless booking integration and strong marketing support from Choice Hotels, this initiative is designed to drive incremental bookings and elevate brand visibility among high-value travelers.
