Houston, Texas - December 20, 2011 - Benchmark Hospitality International is the recipient of four global Adrian Awards for excellence in Marketing and Public Relations programming. Benchmark was informed of the awards by the Hospitality Sales and Marketing Association International (HSMAI), which hosts the annual international competition. The Adrian Awards will be formally presented at an upcoming black tie gala in New York. Benchmark Hospitality's 2011 awards included Bronze, Silver and Gold Adrians.

“It is an honor to be recognized in this way by such a prestigious global organization,” said Ted Davis, senior vice president sales & marketing. “To achieve four Adrian Awards within an international competition makes us all immensely proud of the Benchmark Hospitality organization and our marketing partners.”

HSMAI's global Adrian Awards annually recognize excellence in hotel, travel & tourism marketing, web design, and public relations programming.
