Prima
Prima was formed around 1992, headed by Michael Nijdam. It represented small luxury hotels like The Datai and the Amans. It was NOT four-star at all. Sadly I no longer have a directory, so cannot remember who else they represented. Paul will probably know, though!

Just got an email from Leaders Club.
Bad news - the free membership option has gone. Basic membership is now $100 / year (I have been comped a year as a previous free member)
Good news - benefits now include free continental breakfast for 2 when booking a LHW property via LHW and free internet access. The other 'if available' benefits still apply - upgrade, late check-out etc. They are also continuing the 'stay 5 times, get 1 free night' promo from last year.
Not sure I will be tempted to renew in 2012 at these levels. That said, the best part of LHW membership is the very glam free cocktail parties they throw in London (and elsewhere) - two in London last year.

Free Internet alone is worth at least $100 a year- however I will also be very reluctant to renew if there are not other concrete benefits.

Were you asked to pay to renew LC for 2011? A lot of people on this board got an offer to renew for free.
