Priority Club Rewards, the worlds first and largest hotel loyalty programme in the industry, offers a number of benefits to frequent travellers and a wide group of properties for guests to choose from. Priority Club Rewards offers members a large collection of programme rewards*, including Reward Nights, Flights Anywhere™, Hotels Anywhere, merchandise, gift cards and special activities.

There are three levels of membership: Club, Gold Elite and Platinum Elite. Unlike any other hotel loyalty programme, we offer our members unparalleled levels of freedom and choice, making our Hotels Anywhere scheme a real industry first.
