ORLANDO (May 15, 2007) — Rosen Plaza hotel, located in the heart of the Orlando International Drive resort area and ideally situated next to the Orange County Convention Center, receives its eleventh Pinnacle Award in a row from Successful Meetings magazine.

“This award continues to be incredibly meaningful to us because it comes from our clients, the readers of Successful Meetings,” said Victoria Hall, the Rosen Plaza’s Director of Sales and Marketing. “Nothing could be more pleasing than to be recognized and rewarded by the clients whom we work so hard to serve each day. We are just as thrilled to receive the award this year as we were 11 years ago."

Rosen Plaza continues to build on the success of its award-winning service with an upcoming update of the hotel’s facilities in order to offer guests and meeting planners quality products. This fall, the hotel’s 60,000 sq. ft. of meeting/event space, including the 26,000 sq. ft. Grand Ballroom, 22 meeting rooms and two permanent registration areas, will be completely renovated with new carpeting, improved lighting and more luxurious décor. The hotel will also be replacing all of the beds and linens throughout its 800 rooms.

Successful Meetings’ Pinnacle Award winners are chosen by the publications’ readers… over 75,000 corporate and association meeting and convention planners who cast votes on properties offering the highest level of service and top-quality facilities.

Rosen Plaza was nominated and selected for the Pinnacle Award based on the renowned Rosen Hotels & Resorts superior service, exceptional meeting facilities, luxury accommodations, substantial amenities, the high quality of its food and beverage and desirable location next to the Orange County Convention Center and just 15 minutes from the Orlando International Airport.
