MeetingNews recently released its 2008 Planners' Choice Award winners. Hundreds of meeting and event planners gave their thoughts on the top resorts, conference centers, convention centers, hotels and more in the industry.
Scottsdale, Arizona, was one of leaders for resort destinations, being home to several winners including Camelback Inn, A JW Marriott Resort & Spa, The Westin Kierland Resort & Spa, Hyatt Regency Scottsdale Resort at Gainey Ranch and The Fairmont Scottsdale Princess.
Planners should head West when looking for the top gaming facilities, as the majority of the winners were located in this region. Las Vegas' Bellagio, Caesars Palace, Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino and MGM Grand were included on the list.
Though big cities can claim many of the convention centers chosen as top (including New York City's Jacob K. Javits Convention Center, the Boston Convention & Exhibition Center and the Dallas Convention Center), many smaller locales are also welcoming planners with top-notch, large-scale facilities. The Myrtle Beach Convention Center, Wildwood Convention Center in New Jersey and Branson Convention Center in Missouri were among the honorees.
From the Hilton Atlanta in the Southeast to the Palace Hotel in San Francisco in the West, planners can find an award-winning hotel in regions across the nation. A few international hotels also made the list: Crowne Plaza Mexico in Napoles, Mexico City; Hilton Athens; and Hilton Guadalajara.
