MIAMI, Sept. 17, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Prominent, Miami-based real estate investment and development company Key International announced it has been recognized with a 2018 Hilton Legacy Award for New Developer of the Year in the Full Service category. The highly-anticipated awards program celebrates contributions to an outstanding year of growth. Timed to coincide with the Americas Owner Conference, Hilton recognized nearly 60 high performing owners and developers.
"It's a tremendous honor for our firm to receive this prestigious recognition, especially as Hilton is celebrating its 100th anniversary," said Key International Co-President Diego Ardid. "This award is representative of our signature approach to hotel and resort development, which entails the foresight to evaluate strategic real estate opportunities in highly-desirable locations, and assembling a paramount team from management to interior design, in turn allowing us to deliver award-winning destinations that generate a profitable return."
