Benchmark Hospitality International, a leading hospitality management company, introduced its new hospitality brands to the national travel press during a luncheon in Manhattan. Alex Cabañas, president and CEO of the Houston, TX-based Benchmark Hospitality International, presented the two new brands — Personal Luxury Resorts & Hotels and Benchmark Resorts & Hotels.
Benchmark’s founder and chairman Burt Cabañas recognized a void in the luxury hotel marketplace for distinctively individualized service products that reflect the unique preferences of each guest and deliver on a brand promise of a highly personalized luxury experience for every guest. The Personal Luxury Resorts & Hotels brand is Benchmark Hospitality’s response to this need.
From private horseback rides at sunset to underwater escapes, or carefully crafted wine and food pairings from star-rated chefs, the Personal Luxury Resorts & Hotels’ stated objective is to tailor luxury travel specifically to guests.
