Awards & Recognition

In 2009, we received the Marriott International Partnership Circle Award, the highest honor the brand can bestow on a management partner.  More important are the dozens of awards and honors earned by our properties and associates. This recognition is a testament to our continued commitment to developing the best hotels – and the best people to operate them.
