Select Registry Distinguished Inns Debuts Guest Rewards Program and Guidebook

MARSHALL, Mich., July 12, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Good news for B&B aficionados: The 2011 Select Registry Distinguished Inns of North America guidebook is out this month with a new loyalty program that makes visiting top-notch bed and breakfasts even more rewarding.

The complimentary, 232-page book features 350 celebrated inns across the U.S. and Canada. Each property must pass ongoing, unannounced inspections to gain and maintain membership in this elite portfolio. With its rigorous inspection program and free guidebook, Select Registry is on a mission to make it easy for travelers to find North America's premier B&Bs.

Along with its guidebook, Select Registry launches its enhanced Golden Quill Rewards Program this month. The new program offers a $100 reward, up significantly from the previous $25 reward.

This offer is good at all Select Registry inns. Participating properties include B&Bs with award-winning restaurants, high-end spas, rich histories, fun recreation and spectacular views. Want to laze on the beach, go white-water rafting, dine at a five-star restaurant, luxuriate at the spa, choose wines from 4,000-plus-bottle cellars, stay at fascinating historical properties, or sip cocktails poolside? Whatever their style, B&B enthusiasts can find it covered by Select Registry's celebrated inns.

To reap the reward, travelers must be a Golden Quill member and stay a minimum of 12 nights at one or more Select Registry inns. There are no minimum-night or separate-stay requirements. Travelers can accumulate nights at one inn or many within a two-year period and use their reward as they like (e.g. toward accommodations, dining, spa) at the Select Registry inn of their choice.

Joining the program is free. Members simply submit their stays and view their account history on a secured page online. Once they complete their 12 nights, they will automatically receive their reward certificate and have one year to redeem it.

Of North America's 20,000 inns and B&Bs, only 350 have qualified for membership in Select Registry. This elite network has a 40-year history of outstanding quality assurance with the B&B industry's longest continuously running inspection program. An independent inspector with years of hospitality experience arrives unidentified, spends the night and scrutinizes the property for appearance, amenities, service, food and beverage program, grounds, nearby restaurants and attractions and hospitality.

"Select Registry has done all the heavy lifting," says Will Carlson, the organization's executive director. "When guests check into a Select Registry inn, they can feel confidant they're getting the very best the industry has to offer."
