Preferred Hotels & Resorts Expands Ultra-Luxury Legend Collection with Over 100 Member Properties

Preferred Hotels & Resorts, the world’s largest independent hotel brand, proudly announces the expansion of its ultra-luxury Legend Collection, now boasting over 100 member properties worldwide. This milestone reflects the brand’s robust presence in the luxury hotel market and marks the 20th anniversary of the Ueberroth family’s stewardship, underscoring a commitment to independent hospitality and the spirit of travel.

Lindsey Ueberroth, CEO of Preferred Hotels & Resorts, expressed her pride in representing such exceptional properties globally, emphasizing the alignment with the rising demand for luxury accommodations that offer exquisite settings, personalized service, renowned dining, and exceptional spas. “The expansion of our Legend Collection portfolio is an exciting growth landmark for our brand,” Ueberroth stated, highlighting the significance of this achievement in today’s luxury travel market.

The Legend Collection features properties that are veritable works of art, with each hotel offering unique, story-rich designs that set a high standard for custom-curated guest experiences.

This collection not only delivers unparalleled luxury but also enhances the allure of their respective locales, inviting travelers to explore diverse destinations such as The Sanchaya in Indonesia, The Alpina Gstaad in Switzerland, and The Fullerton Bay Hotel in Singapore.
