Pioneers in Hospitality
We're Blazing New Trails in Travel
We Lead the Way
For nearly four decades, Benchmark has been at the forefront of our industry, providing unparalleled expertise in hotel, resort and conference center management. Our two breathtaking portfolios, Benchmark Resorts & Hotels and Gemstone Collection, represent the finest in guest-dedicated hospitality across the U.S. and points beyond.
Our diverse portfolios have taught us that not everything we do works for every property. We take a customized, entrepreneurial approach that sets us apart from management companies that follow a standardized process and leave little room for innovation or imagination.
Curated Experiences
We believe travel can be transformative. Magical, even. We offer our guests curated experiences that broaden the mind, relax the spirit, shift perspectives and empower authentic moments of connection. We have a depth of insight into our properties that helps us infuse the guest experience with a strong sense of location, directing travelers to hidden gems the guidebooks don’t know about but the locals do.
"We’ve done a lot of things we’ve never done before. And we like it that way."

Local Insight
The heightened level of local insight we offer guests at each of our destinations isn’t by chance or because we’re really good at Googling things. Our teams are closely connected to the places where they live and work. They’re active in their communities in myriad ways, including through our service initiative Hometown Hospitality – Caring for Our Communities, which encourages and enables our employees to seek local leadership roles in social, educational and cultural programs.
Be The Difference
Every Benchmark employee, in every job, at every level shares one trait: a commitment to provide exceptional service. We're a collective of experience architects, capturing each opportunity to be the difference—for our guests, our coworkers, and our communities. More than a slogan, Be the Difference is a way of being present and providing service that's personalized, meaningful, and memory-making. It's what makes us excited to go to work each day and powers our way forward.
SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
ENERGY CONSERVATION
Benchmark properties reduce energy use while sustaining, and whenever possible enhancing, the guest experience by using energy efficient central operations such as boilers to lighting systems, kitchen equipment, and automated energy management systems.
WATER CONSERVATION
Within guest rooms, laundries, kitchens, pools, and spas, Benchmark properties continue to implement efficiencies that reduce water and, in many cases, chemicals that are used to treat water systems and clean facilities.
WASTE DIVERSION
In combination with standard recycling efforts of newspapers and beverage containers, Benchmark properties participate in other opportunities to reduce landfill waste.
BATH AMENITIES
Many Benchmark properties have transitioned guest bath amenities to all-natural, essential oil-based formulated products made without preservatives and artificial ingredients that are packaged in recyclable containers.
GUEST ROOM PRINT & ROOM KEYS
Benchmark’s partnership with The Regency Group provides our portfolio with access to recycled paper materials and other green products, such as eco-friendly pencils versus the traditional pen.
CLEANING PRODUCTS
Benchmark properties have shifted to hypo-allergenic, phosphate-free, and other natural cleaners. These more natural products have demonstrated performance and are less irritating to guests, employees, and the environment.
