The Woodlands (Houston), Texas, March 2017… BENCHMARK®, a global hospitality company, has named Katie Tully director of guest & owner services for The Grove Resort & Spa Orlando. The 878 room all-suite hotel, which is a Benchmark Resorts & Hotels property, opened its first phase on March 10, 2017, just minutes from Walt Disney World® Resort in Orlando, Florida. Bill Lee, The Grove’s general manager, made the announcement.

“As a resort property with a residential component in one of the world’s most sought after travel destinations, it is important to have a leader in this role with the ability to effectively serve those who opt into the ownership opportunity at The Grove,” said Mr. Lee. “Katie’s experience working with resorts on the same scale as The Grove will provide an important benefit to both our owners and hotel guests.”

Katie Tully most recently served as the director of rental management for Reunion Resort, also located in Orlando, where she was responsible for the administration and management of the property’s home and villa rental programs.
