Preferred Hotels & Resorts, the world’s largest independent hotel brand, is pleased to announce the relaunch of its Meeting Planner website, designed to deliver a best-in-class digital experience for planners seeking luxury venues for meetings and events. 

Now fully accessible through the Preferred Hotels & Resorts website, the refreshed website streamlines the venue discovery process by integrating general hotel information with meetingsspecific content. Planners and sellers can quickly identify ideal venues and access key details at a glance – such as meeting room size, number of event rooms, total guestrooms, airport proximity, ideal and maximum group size, sales taxes and ancillary fees, plus more – empowering them to submit RFPs with confidence. A dedicated search experience allows users to filter by location and essential meeting criteria, while search results surface the most relevant data tailored to planner needs. Future updates in 2026 will introduce expanded search functionality, with anticipated filters for group rates, buyout availability, natural light, and room configurations, along with a cloud-based resource library offering instant access to menus, floorplans, virtual tours, and space diagrams. 

The refreshed Meeting Planner website also integrates the I Prefer Planner Program, which transforms booked meetings and events at 600+ independent hotels across 80+ countries into meaningful rewards and memorable escapes. Planners earn 5 points for every US$1 in actualized room revenue when booking through the Preferred Hotels & Resorts Global Sales Team, with the potential to earn up to 500,000 points per program.

To celebrate the launch, Preferred Hotels & Resorts will debut the new site at IMEX America (October 7–9). Planners are invited to visit the Preferred booth (E1241) for a live demo and a chance to win 100,000 I Prefer Points (for up to five winners each day), which can be redeemed for Free Nights, Cash + Points stays, or Reward Certificates. Certificates can be applied toward room rates and, at select participating hotels, may also be accepted for dining and spa services. Points may further be applied directly toward folio charges, a flexible redemption feature not widely available in other programs, and if individual rewards aren’t an option, planners may direct points to a Corporate Custodial Account for centralized tracking and team-wide use.
