OUR STANDARDS

We are committed to joining with like-minded hotels that represent the very best that a destination has to offer. Our standards are set high to match those of our guests, and so we monitor the quality and service of our member hotels through a range of metrics including mystery inspections, guest surveys and online reviews.

But more than that, when we say 'like-minded', we mean hotels that share our values and go the extra mile to delight guests and develop an emotional connection that always leaves them with the desire to return. We seek out only non-competing hotels in any one destination so that we know we can support them, and in turn, they can continue to do what they do best.
