Mainsail awarded top Marriott prize

Mainsail Lodging & Development has received the Partnership Circle Award from Marriott International, the highest accolade presented to the hotel operator and lodging industry behemoth's property owners and franchisors.

The Tampa-based Mainsail, which received the award last month at a Marriott meeting in San Francisco, also was inducted into the award program's Hall of Fame.

Mainsail owns Marriott Autograph Collection properties in the British Virgin Islands and Tampa, and will debut another on Anna Maria Island next month.
