ORLANDO (August 5, 2005) ­ Rosen Plaza Hotel, located in the heart of the International Drive resort area, has been awarded the prestigious 2005 Gold Key Award by meeting planners who are readers of Meetings & Conventions magazine. Rosen Plaza was nominated and selected for this special recognition based on the hotel's superior service, meeting facilities, hotel offerings and the quality of its food and beverage.

"We are honored to receive this award again this year," said Victoria Hall, the hotel's Director of Sales & Marketing. "I'm proud of our dedicated team who exceeds the needs and expectations of meeting planners on a daily basis. While this level of service is standard for us, it's especially nice for the team to receive recognition from the clients they serve."

In addition to the Gold Key Award, Rosen Plaza has also captured numerous awards from other publications, including Successful Meetings magazine's Pinnacle Award, Meeting News' Planner's Choice Award, Corporate & Incentive Travel's Award of Excellence and Association Meetings' Inner Circle Award.
