The World's Best Bespoke Travel Experiences by Preferred Hotels & Resorts
July 7, 2015
From a Tuscan hunt for truffles with the family to elaborate art collections featuring world-renowned masterpieces, Preferred Hotels & Resorts' network of properties features exceptional and unique qualities unlike any other brand.
The following properties and their corresponding experiences provide a small sample of what Preferred Hotels & Resorts has to offer:
Best Dramatic Entrance – The Temple House, Chengdu, China
(pictured above)
Built more than 100 years ago during the Qing dynasty, The Temple House's Bitieshi, a beautifully restored traditional courtyard building, offers guests a grand, historical introduction to the hotel. The Bitieshi is comprised of a courtyard surrounded by four buildings, which The Temple House delicately restored. Guests walk through a haven of traditional brickwork, wood carvings, and step stones as they step into the hotel's contrasting contemporary design for a delightful taste of old and new.
Best Spiritual Dining Experience – The Imperial New Delhi, India
One of The Imperial New Delhi's most celebrated venues, The Spice Route, is designed on the principals of Feng Shui, divided into nine sections each depicting part of the journey of life. The restaurant's intricate design was several years in the making, adorned with hand painted murals by prestigious artisans brought in from a temple in Guruvayur in Kerala, effectively transporting guests to the mystical world of Southeast Asia.
Best Hotel for Truffle Hunting – Il Salviatino, Florence, Italy
Miles away from any ordinary family vacation, Il Salviatino offers a whole new take on family adventure. Guests can join a certified truffle hunter and his adorable shaggy dog, Eda, for a truffle hunt on the property's expansive grounds with historical anecdotes on Eda's most famous finds along the way. The experience ends with a truffle-tasting menu starring the day's finds – kid-friendly cuisine included.
Best Grounds for Evening Stroll – Tivoli Ecoresort Praia Do Forte, Brazil
A sanctuary nestled in Brazil's lush landscape, Tivoli Ecoresort Praia Do Forte thoughtfully captures the breathtaking natural beauty of Brazil's vibrant flora and fauna and complements it with traditional architecture. Guests can partake in a romantic stroll on the grounds of this Bahia eco resort to hear the sights and sounds of Brazil's world renowned biodiversity with the glittering ocean just steps away.
Best Art Collection – The ART Hotel, Colorado
Surrounded by the city's most iconic cultural and architectural landmarks, the ART presents an impressive collection of original artworks celebrating the creative spirit of 20th and 21st century artists from around the world. One of the property's highlights includes Leo Villareal's Threshold, a dazzling light installation along the building's entry way in addition to site-specific pieces by Larry Bell, Tracey Emin, Mary Ehrin, and Ed Ruscha.
