Marriott does well with “top 100 meeting hotels”
Twenty Marriott International hotels representing the JW Marriott, Marriott Hotels & Resorts, The Autograph Collection and Renaissance Hotels brands were included on Cvent’s annual list of the "Top 100 Meeting Hotels in the United States."
The hotels were selected from a pool of 80,000 hotels in the US on the Cvent Supplier Network, a free online marketplace that connects meeting planners with over 200,000 venues and service providers worldwide. Marriott International had more hotels on the list than any other hotel company.
Hotels were selected based on a set of qualifying criteria. These included the amount of business the hotel was awarded last year by meeting planners and the number of electronic request-for-proposals (RFPs) received from the Cvent Supplier Network. Other factors included the hotel’s average response rate to the RFPs sent through the marketplace; the number of meeting rooms available; and the total square footage of meeting space offered.
All told, the list includes venues from 17 states and the District of Columbia, with Florida, Nevada and Texas leading the pack with 19, 14 and 13 properties on the list, respectively.
Among the top 100, the top 10 were:
1. The Peabody Orlando (Orlando)
2. Gaylord Opryland Hotel & Convention Center (Nashville)
3. Hyatt Regency Atlanta (Atlanta)
4. Rosen Shingle Creek (Orlando)
5. The Venetian and Palazzo Resort, Hotel & Casinos (Las Vegas)
6. Gaylord National Hotel & Convention Center (National Harbor, Md.)
7. Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin (Lake Buena Vista, Fla.)
8. The Westin Peachtree Plaza (Atlanta)
9. ARIA Resort & Casino at CityCenter (Las Vegas)
10. MGM Grand Hotel & Casino (Las Vegas)
