The Woodlands (Houston), Texas, August 2015… Benchmark Hospitality International, a leading U.S.-based hospitality management company, has announced that two of its properties have received the prestigious Pinnacle Award from readers of Successful Meetings, a leading national trade magazine based in New York City. The two properties include Eaglewood Resort & Spa, a Benchmark Resort located in Chicago, and the Villas of Grand Cypress, a Personal Luxury Resort in Orlando. This is the seventh win for Eaglewood Resort & Spa and the 10th win for the Villas of Grand Cypress. Ted Davis, chief sales & marketing officer, made the announcement.

“We are extremely proud of Eaglewood Resort & Spa and the Villas of Grand Cypress,” said Mr. Davis. “To be recognized in this way is especially meaningful as the Pinnacle Award is voted on by readers of the magazine, who are our customers.”
