Preferred Boutique, the premier brand for intimate hotels and resorts, is pleased to announce two new members in Australia and the Pacific - The Lyall Hotel and Spa in Melbourne and Legends Resort® Moorea in French Polynesia. At the heart of the Preferred Boutique experience is inspiration, that elusive characteristic that separates the extraordinary from the ordinary. The four Preferred Boutique categories - Classic, Design, Adventure and Resort - encompass eclectic properties from palaces to tent camps, from hip urban hotels to private islands.
Capturing the essence of its chic and upscale South Yarra address and only a ten-minute drive from the hotel to the central business district, The Lyall Hotel and Spa is an elegant boutique hotel with 40 spacious suites of contemporary Oriental design. It is perfectly positioned to experience the best of Melbourne with a neighbourhood of designer stores, cafes, restaurants and art galleries. A unique feature of the The Lyall is its series of "mini art galleries" on each floor where guests can lounge in front of the fire and evaluate the original art.
Also notable is the The Lyall's attention to the smaller details including bathroom under-floor heating, a gourmet mini-bar, and furnished balcony. Some suites also offer the convenience of a kitchenette and washer/dryer. Recently voted the "Leading Spa Resort, Australia" in the World Travel Awards 2008, The Lyall Spa offers an exotic menu of spa rituals and the gymnasium is open to guests 24 hours daily. In addition to excellent nearby eateries, the hotel also offers an all-day bistro and a champagne bar.
Nestled between a multi-colour lagoon and the natural wonder of perfumed lush mountain ranges, Legends Resort® Moorea spreads across 17 acres of land in the island of Moorea. Built with materials such as stone and exotic wood, the 46 villas blend into the island natural environment, all offering exceptional panoramic views from spacious furnished decks with Jacuzzi tubs. Choose from two or three bedrooms all with state-of-the-art fully-equipped kitchens, laundry facilities, and separate dining and living areas.
In addition to an infinity swimming pool above the picturesque lagoon, tennis court, and gymnasium, the hotel also offers boat transfers to a white sand beach located on a private island several minutes away. Other activities include scuba diving, whale and dolphin sightseeing, boat tours, Jeep tours, and golf. Dining can be enjoyed in the comfort of the villa or at the restaurant - one with the very best cuisine in all of French Polynesia - with the option of a gourmet store which provides picnic baskets for outdoor dining.
"Whether it is a sanctuary in the city with The Lyall Hotel and Spa in Melbourne or an idyllic sojourn with Legends Resort Moorea in French Polynesia, Preferred Boutique delivers truly memorable experiences at unique hotels and resorts worldwide," said Lynne Ireland, Managing Director - Preferred Boutique.
"We are delighted to be a Preferred Boutique member which represents travel experiences beyond ordinary. To be part of Preferred Boutique means greater exposure for our property and superb destination as part of a recognized quality brand and to be widely promoted internationally," Dominique Brogi - Sales & Marketing Director, Pacific & the Americas, Legends Resort Moorea.
