Congratulations to the 2011 Tower of Excellence Award Winners! Click here see each category description below for award guidelines and submission requirements.

Company of the Year

Corporate Accommodations deserves to win this award simply because it is a great company to work for. We are a family that not only excels in what we provide, but also in customer relations and even in our personal lives. Every one in the company gets along well and we truly care for each other. We all strive to better the company.

2010 was an amazing and profitable year for BridgeStreet. We exceeded revenue goals with a focus on RevPAU and effective inventory management. With our re-branding intitiative we continue to evolve as a leader in providing an outstanding hospitality experience to travelers seeking a hotel alternative and we are confident that our new brand message will produce greater global recognition for corporate housing in the wider hospitality market. We continue to advance technology that’s focused on revenue contribution and distribution. Additionally, we opened flagship properties in New York and Chicago, which maintain high occupancy rates.

I believe that one reason that we received this award is that we truly believe in Corporate Housing! We recognize our vital role as a houseware provider; we do not feel that we just provide linens and housewares. We look at our service as the icing on the cake, and we want the icing to be delicious! We are consistently improving quality standards and hope that by so doing we can assist in improving the reputation of Corporate Housing and making it easier for Corporate Housing Providers to secure business.

Individual of the Year

Imperial Suites feels that Shannon McGuey won this award based on her dedication, experience, and continuous attention to detail & service. She has worked hard every inch of the way, giving 100% to everything she does. Shannon is also actively involved in the Imperial Suites “Sponsor a Family” event while doing personal donations outside of work (Most recent event was the 5KM run for Breast Cancer). Her energetic personality, goals and belief in the Corporate Housing Industry will continue to fuel her success with Imperial Suites.

I work very hard to spread the word of CHPA to as many companies as possible including any third party who wants to do business with us or calls us with inquiries. CHPA is very important to our business and our success. I feel that I have worked diligently over the years to continue showing my involvement and dedication to CHPA. I am definitely interested in the development of this organizations future success and am ready for the tasks that are in store for the future.

Most Creative Marketing

Compass Furnished Apartments won the most creative marketing award based on our cutting edge website and our complete embrace of social media. The results speak for themselves. Through our marketing campaigns we have very quickly become one of the most recognized and sought after furnished housing companies in our territories in the Northeastern United States. Territories in which some of the largest, oldest and well known corporate housing companies are our direct competition.

Marriott ExecuStay's program TEST DRIVE A CITY won this award for a number of reasons. First, it educates consumers on the benefits of corporate housing for moves to different cities. It touches consumers in many stages of their life: college graduate, relocating, or retiring - no matter what stage, this program can benefit you. Guests can choose a bonus that fits their needs - Rewards points, groceries or GPS. The program cost ExecuStay very little and the return was substantial - relocation leads volume is up year over year more than 50% and our year over year relocation revenue is up more than 40%.
Best Green Progress

Paragon believes business owners can make smart decisions for the bottom line that are also environmentally friendly. We have found ways to meet both needs. This is a strong message for all business owners. What we do is not a secret. We are happy to share with and learn from others. We believe that through a collective effort, we can make a difference for our company, our environment, and the corporate housing industry. Our suitability for this award has been confirmed by the City of Richland, Washington, who named Paragon the 2010 Green Business of the Year.

Best Community/Philanthropic Program

This year because of CWS, a family was able to receive presents from Santa after suffering the tragic loss of their mother. Throughout the year people in need received meals, coats, blankets, shoes, fans, handbags, household goods, and funds all through the collaboration of our employees working with charities. By serving as an example of corporate giving, CWS has inspired other companies to join the BRIDGE program. This year CWS succeeded in our mission, “inspired people creating extraordinary experiences” and for that reason we feel we should humbly accept the award for Best Community/Philanthropic program for our work with BRIDGE.

Volunteer of the Year

BJ Rosow of AZUMA Leasing won this award because of his dedication to supporting CHPA through his involvement in Committees, Task Forces and the Annual Conference. Since he joined CHPA, he has been a strong supporter of all CHPA programs, whether for providers or Associate Partners. His constant attention and dedication focused on CHPA has proven to enhance the membership and its activities.
