Following a successful launch in 2020, Curator continues its mission of supporting lifestyle hotels and resorts through best-in-class operating agreements, services, and technology while helping properties amplify what makes them unique. Across the membership, Curator helps to create an average of $1.2 million per hotel in estimated incremental asset value through its preferred programs and partnerships.

“Launching the Collection in 2020 was no easy feat,” said Jennifer Barnwell, President of Curator Hotel & Resort Collection. “Two years later, beyond adding new hotels, we’ve focused on generating innovative ways to engage our current members as well as their guests. We seek to build a community of indie champions that love their hotels just as much as we do. Looking ahead into the new year, we will continue to reach out to independent owners and operators to convey the value of joining Curator.”

This year, Curator established partnerships with travel-focused consumer brands to further enhance the guest experience. The company recently signed a preferred partnership with Travelzoo, a global Internet company that provides exclusive offers and experiences for members. In addition, Curator finalized an agreement with BabyQuip, the leading baby equipment rental service and marketplace offering thousands of baby gear items, improving the way families travel.

The company also established a partnership with Bounce, a luggage storage company located in major cities across the U.S. as well as over 1,000 cities worldwide. The agreement provides local visitors with a convenient service to securely store their luggage, while generating additional revenue and exposure for participating hotels. These partnerships allow Curator members to quickly adopt and leverage new products and gain direct and increased access to partners, both industry-known and up-and-coming, to elevate their guest experiences and improve business performance.

When it comes to its members, Curator properties continue to gain industry recognition, including Condé Nast Traveler Readers’ Choice Awards, which selected 20 properties as part of its 2022 rankings, while Travel + Leisure named 13 Curator Hotel & Resort Collection members to its esteemed 2022 World’s Best Awards.
