Preferred Corporate Housing (PCH) has been named Company of the Year for the fourth time at the 2026 Tower of Excellence Awards, held during CHPA Connect26. The awards, hosted by the Corporate Housing Providers Association, recognize the most significant achievements in the corporate housing industry.

Selected by an independent panel of association and marketing professionals, the Tower of Excellence Awards represent one of the industry’s highest honors. PCH’s recognition reflects exceptional performance within a highly competitive field of more than 1,200 industry companies, including approximately 300 CHPA members and 35 accredited organizations.
Founder Jon Lanclos credited the company’s collective strength and forward momentum, stating, “I’m proud of every person who contributed to this honor. We are building on this momentum by leveraging AI-driven efficiency, a powerhouse business development team, elite account executives, expert account managers, a standout social media strategy, strong financial leadership, and unmatched support staff. When we work in sync, we win.”
This award underscores Preferred Corporate Housing’s continued leadership, innovation, and commitment to elevating service standards across the industry. “This recognition reflects the heart of our company,” said Michelle Velasquez, Vice President of Client Services. “In a year when many organizations scaled back, we chose to lean in by investing in our people, supporting our partners, and strengthening the industry we are proud to serve.”
