Inquiry Guidance

Answers to common questions from owners, operators, and development teams.

Who should submit a private inquiry?

Owners, operators, or authorized representatives of luxury hotels and executive residences seeking designation consideration.

Is consideration guaranteed after submission?

No. Submissions are screened against the Standard, and consideration is extended selectively within the annual cycle.

What information should be prepared?

Property overview, location, key leadership contacts, room/residence inventory, service model, recent press, and supporting imagery or collateral.

Do you accept international properties?

Yes. Hotel of Choice™ reviews qualifying properties nationally and internationally, subject to cycle capacity and fit.

How is confidentiality handled?

We treat inquiries as private correspondence. Materials are used solely for evaluation and are not shared publicly.

What happens after an invitation to proceed?

We provide a structured request list and timeline, then confirm whether the property will be included in the current evaluation cohort.
