An international magazine targeting 50,000 event planners has named
two San Antonio Riverwalk hotels among the world’s finest meeting
properties.
The
San Antonio Marriott Rivercenter and
San Antonio Marriott Riverwalk
have each earned a 2012 Gold Key Award from Meetings & Conventions
magazine. Readers of M&C were the nominators and judges for the
prestigious honor given to 146 domestic and 17 international hotels and
resorts this year. Properties including the San Antonio, TX, hotels were
judged on staff attitude, quality of meeting rooms, quality of guest
services, food and beverage service, proficiency of handling
reservations, availability of technical and support equipment and range
of recreational facilities.
“As you can see from the criteria, this is truly a team effort for
the entire hotel,” said Julia Turcotte, director of event management and
a certified meeting planner for Marriott. “Congratulations to the
sales, event and culinary teams for their spirit to serve and commitment
to providing warm heart authentic culture to all of our group
customers.”
The San Antonio Marriott Rivercenter has now won the award 20 times.
The 1000-room hotel features 63 meeting rooms with 60,000 square feet of
flexible meeting space. Its largest meeting room, the
Grand Ballroom,
has 41,600 square feet that can seat up to 6,400 people. A newly
renovated foyer with ample room for pre- or post-function activities
welcomes convention goers, as do back-lit reader boards strategically
placed throughout the floor. Amenities throughout all meeting spaces
include state-of-the-art audio and visual equipment, exceptional event
menus, certified meeting coordinators and full-service tech support so
that all presentations are engaging and successful.
One of the grandest structures in San Antonio, the Marriott
Rivercenter also was recently included in Cvent’s top 100 list of
meeting hotels in the United States. The largest event management
software company in the country honored the San Antonio meeting space
for its combination of luxury, privacy, service and amenities.
