Preferred Hotels Launches Preferred Wellbeing: 50+ Properties Globally

Preferred Hotels launched Preferred Wellbeing, a wellness designation now on 50+ of its independent luxury hotels: think forest bathing at Post Ranch Inn, quartzite thermal baths at the Swiss Alps' 7132, or a 100,000-sq-ft longevity spa at Florida's Amrit Ocean. Bookable through I Prefer (free to join). A good excuse for a summer reset.

The new luxury flex is logging off, and Preferred Hotels leaned all the way in. On May 14 it launched Preferred Wellbeing, a wellness designation now on 50+ of its independent luxury hotels, places built around real wellness, not a slapped-on spa.

A few that stand out:

Post Ranch Inn (Big Sur, CA): forest bathing and sound healing on the cliffs above the Pacific. 7132 Hotel (Swiss Alps): thermal baths carved straight from quartzite. Amrit Ocean Resort (Florida): a 100,000-square-foot spa built around longevity and biohacking. Grand Velas Riviera Maya (Mexico): a guided hydrotherapy ritual steps from the Caribbean. All independent, one-off properties you won't find in a Marriott or Hilton search, and a pretty good excuse for a summer reset. Book them through Preferred's I Prefer program (free to join).
