The San Francisco Marriott Marquis has been recognized with the Gold Key Award for 2005, a testament to its exceptional service and facilities in the realm of hotel meetings and conventions. This accolade, granted by Meetings & Conventions Magazine, highlights the hotel's commitment to excellence in providing top-tier meeting spaces, guest services, and overall hospitality.
Meetings & Conventions Magazine has a long-standing tradition of honoring the world's premier meeting and convention hotels with the Gold Key Award. The San Francisco Marriott Marquis, located in the bustling heart of downtown San Francisco, has distinguished itself among its peers and has been selected for this prestigious award by the magazine's discerning readership.
The selection process for the Gold Key Award is rigorous, with meeting and convention planners casting their votes based on a comprehensive set of criteria. These include:
According to Bernard W. Schraer, Group Publisher of Meetings & Conventions, the San Francisco Marriott Marquis has consistently met these stringent standards, providing services that resonate with the high expectations of meeting and convention planning professionals.
The San Francisco Marriott Marquis will be formally honored at the M&C Gold Awards ceremony on November 11, 2005, in New York City. Additionally, the hotel will be featured in the Gold Awards issue of Meetings & Conventions Magazine, set to be published in November 2005.
Situated across from the Moscone Center and mere minutes from Union Square, the San Francisco Marriott Marquis is an ideal choice for those planning meetings or conventions in San Francisco. Its central location and award-winning services make it a standout option for event planners and attendees alike.
While the Gold Key Award itself is a notable achievement, there are some interesting statistics and trends in the hotel meetings and conventions industry that often go unmentioned. For instance, according to the American Hotel & Lodging Association (AHLA), the U.S. hotel industry generates more than $100 billion in annual revenue, with a significant portion coming from meetings and conventions. Furthermore, a report by the Events Industry Council (EIC) indicates that the business events sector contributes over $1 trillion to the global economy, with hotels playing a crucial role in this ecosystem.
The San Francisco Marriott Marquis, with its Gold Key Award, stands as a prime example of the high standards and economic impact that these venues contribute to the industry and local economies.
