Founded in 1960, the Select Registry association provides a unique combination of innkeeper resources focusing on the personality and tastes of the owners. Select Registry also focuses on quality assurance for its network of almost 400 owners. Through Select Registry, owners improve travelers' experiences by addressing issues on the detailed "point system" each inn's inspectors provide. Membership with Select Registry is extremely selective, with more than 20,000 inns in the United States and Canada. Once Select Registry applicants pass inspection, they are admitted in the registry and then benefit from the hallmark of quality associated with it. The registry also creates an identity for each inn highlighting its best attributes, such as hospitality, personalization and service-oriented attention.
