CHICAGO, IL, June 19, 2006. From the restorative energy of the Arizona desert to the ancient traditions of Ireland, Preferred Hotels(R) & Resorts' collection features the world's finest spas. As travelers increasingly seek experiences that enrich their lives and enhance their well-being, Preferred Hotels & Resorts is at the forefront in offering spa and wellness programs focused on individualized services and treatments. Now, in partnership with American Express(R), Preferred Hotels & Resorts announces the I Prefer SpaTM program, allowing American Express Cardmembers to experience exclusive signature spa treatments and special spa amenities.

Through Preferred Hotels & Resorts' I Prefer SpaTM program American Express Cardmembers can enjoy relaxation at its best and experience a new clarity of being. Guests who book an I Prefer SpaTM package with their American Express Card at any participating Preferred Hotels & Resorts location worldwide will receive a complimentary spa treatment unique to the local property and a welcome amenity upon check-in.

Spa-goers at Hawaii's Turtle Bay Resort will receive a complimentary Kaomi or Lomi Lomi massage, both indigenous to the North Shore of Oahu. The resort's restorative natural setting affords stunning views of the Pacific Ocean from the northernmost point on Oahu.

Spa treatments at Dream in Manhattan are the perfect antidote to the fast pace of the "Big Apple." Ideally located between Central Park and Times Square, Dream is home to the Chopra Center, New York. Guests taking advantage of the I Prefer SpaTM package at this hotel can choose one of three complimentary services:

a 35-minute Srota massage, a tea-infused bath or a luxurious hand-and-foot treatment.

Guests relaxing with the I Prefer SpaTM package at the Aghadoe Heights Hotel & Spa in Killarney, Ireland will enjoy complimentary access to the spa's exclusive Thermal Suite - the ultimate sanctuary in which guests may relax before and after treatments. Spa-goers move between special dry and wet heat cabins and are invited to relax on heated ceramic loungers while they gaze out at the serene majesty of stately mountains and the shimmering waters of Ireland's enchanting lakes.

The I Prefer SpaTM package is available through December 31, 2006. For a complete list of participating hotels or additional information, please visit www.PreferredSpa.com, or contact your travel professional.
