perspectives interview
that time, they started looking for somebody to
invest or buy it, and they approached my dad.
We decided as a family to buy the company.
DimoreStudio Milan led the design of Le Logis in Cognac, France,
complete with an outdoor pool, private cinema, and pétanque field
Preferred had 85 hotels when you
started. What are some of the
milestones from your last two decades?
One of them was launching Preferred
Boutique. It was a new brand, and we had to
do everything from the sales and marketing to
integrating it into the organization. We ended
up absorbing that into our rebranding. At
that point, we had a number of other brands
including Sterling Hotels and Summit Hotels
and Resorts. We were considering launching
another brand, but we took a step back and
said, 'Everyone is doing that. It's confusing.
It's cluttered. Let's do the reverse.' We retired
[Sterling and Summit] and collapsed our
member hotels under one master brand,
Preferred Hotels & Resorts.

hotel in Mexico, designed by Ricardo Elias
The Grand Hotel Son Net in Spain's Balearic Islands is
set in a 17th-century estate restored by Lorenzo Castillo
You acquired Beyond Green, founded
by Costas Christ in 2020. How is
that collection moving the needle on
sustainability?
It's focus is not only on the reuse, recycle,
reduce component, but also hiring and
sourcing locally, as well as celebrating the
cultural heritage of the destination. Their
philosophy is you can't do it in a vacuum.
Beyond Green members are subject to a
rigorous vetting process, based on globally
recognized sustainable tourism standards and
the United Nations Sustainable Development
Goals. All members must undergo an
onsite inspection based on more than 50
sustainability indicators across three pillars to
join the portfolio, which are then re-inspected
every two years
Are branded residences a growing
segment for Preferred?
I'd say at least a third of our new hotels that
come on board open with some residential
component, whether it's a handful of
standalone residences or suites that can
operate as a residence. You have more hotels
trying to put more of that inventory into their
mix because you have [big groups] that travel
together, and they want a residence but with
all the [amenities] of a hotel.
What is your secret to success?
We're a privately held and family-owned
business. We can make decisions on what
we believe is right, not what a shareholder is
