They say time flies when you’re having fun. This month, we say a very Happy Birthday to our friends at Preferred Hotels & Resorts a brand we have come to know and love and one that we at OutThere have a lot in common with. With half a century in luxury hospitality, there is no doubt that they truly believe in travel, as do we – in the way it enriches, educates, and inspires – the way it changes us for the better and provides moments that are personal and priceless; and the way it provides endless opportunities for us to discover something new about the world, and about ourselves.
For 50 years, Preferred Hotels & Resorts has curated the very best independent hotel experiences for discerning travellers. Their portfolio of more than 700 distinctive hotels, resorts, and residences spanning 85 countries connects travellers to new destinations and extraordinary experiences in a world that is more accessible than ever before, and the best is yet to come.
To celebrate 50 golden years with us all, Preferred Hotels & Resorts and its collection of hotels have created special Golden Anniversary offers for fans like us. And 50 is the theme this year, as each participating property will either provide a special 50-minute activity or a £50 credit towards your stay.
