 “We are pleased to see more owners and operators turning to Preferred Hotels & Resorts to benefit from our flexible approach, favorable pricing, and strong overall brand value,” said Lindsey Ueberroth, CEO of Preferred Hotels & Resorts. “This significant increase to our brand portfolio indicates an impending takeoff in independent hotel affiliations as part of the pandemic rebound.
