Hotel Chosen from Hundreds Throughout the South, Caribbean
and the Islands By Readers of Meetings South Magazine
ROANOKE, Va. - (October 21, 2008) - The Hotel Roanoke and Conference Center has been honored among the Best of the South, an award that is bestowed by readers of the prestigious Meetings South, a publication read by thousands of meeting planners and meetings industry professionals.
The Hotel Roanoke and Conference Center was chosen from hundreds of hotels throughout the South, and was one of just 56 properties to be designated Best of the South and one of three from the state of Virginia.
The Meetings South’s award is voted upon by the publication’s meeting planner readers who are invited to vote for those properties that delivered the highest quality of service and expertise, and provided flawless, memorable meetings. The publication asked readers to choose their favorite properties based on certain criteria, including the quality of meeting space, guest rooms, staff, service, food and beverages, amenities, activities and value. Planners who voted were required to choose properties they had used within the last two years.
“We're extremely proud of this award and the presence that the Hotel Roanoke has created in Virginia and the South,” said Gary Walton, general manager of The Hotel Roanoke and Conference Center. “These awards are earned through the hard work and dedication of our staff and by the support of our guests and customers. It is especially gratifying to be the recipient of this industry award.”
