ORLANDO (Jan. 17, 2007) — When it comes to Orlando meetings, one hotel continually rises to the top of the list in the minds of meeting planners, attendees, trade journalists and others in the industry. Rosen Centre, conveniently located adjacent to the Orange County Convention Center, was recently honored with four prestigious awards, including the Merit and Distinction Award from Medical Meetings, the Paragon Award from Corporate Meetings and Incentives, the Inner Circle Award from Association Meetings and the Planner’s Choice Award from VNU/Meeting News. Last year, Rosen Centre also received the prestigious Gold Key Award and Gold Platter Award from Meetings & Conventions magazine and the Pinnacle Award from Successful Meetings.

The hotel amasses consecutive, multiple industry awards each year, yet according to Todd Frappier, the hotel’s Director of Sales and Marketing, the staff takes no time to rest on their laurels — they are continuously looking for ways to improve their service and become more relevant to the meeting planners and guests.

"We are thrilled and honored each time we receive an award because it means that the industry has recognized our staff’s dedication to providing the very best service and accommodations," said Frappier. "With each award, we are inspired to work harder and even more diligently to maintain the outstanding reputation of Rosen Hotels and Resorts and of course, Rosen Centre."

The commitment to excellent guest service is apparent in the hotel’s newly renovated meeting space. Less than a year after its restored executive suites were dubbed "Best in Industry" by Meetings South magazine, Rosen Centre has completed a multi-million dollar renovation that spans the hotel’s 106,000 square feet of meeting space, including its 35,000-square-foot Grand Ballroom. Contemporary materials and complementary furnishings, as well as wireless Internet capability, have transformed ballrooms, salons and pre-function space into a fresh, inviting environment designed for ultimate comfort and productivity.

"This major renovation adds incredible panache to the meeting-space environment" said Frappier. "And, it allows us to continue to offer meeting planners our superior level of accommodations so that they, like us, receive award-winning praise from their customers."

Just minutes away from the Orlando International Airport and the area’s most popular theme parks and attractions, Rosen Centre is a multi award-winning hotel that offers 106,000 square feet of sophisticated meeting space, which includes a 35,000-square-foot Grand Ballroom. Rising 24 stories, Rosen Centre features 1,334 deluxe guest rooms. Amenities include a full-service concierge desk, high-speed Internet access in all guest rooms, off-site airline check-in and a TSA approved remote skycap service that allows guests to receive their airline boarding passes and check their luggage directly from the hotel. Guests of Rosen Centre enjoy six restaurants and lounges, as well as the Body & Sol Spa, a newly renovated fitness center featuring state-of-the-art equipment, a heated tropical pool and lighted tennis courts.

Meeting planners have access to Rosen’s Shingle Creek Golf Course, recently named one of the "Top 40 New Courses" by Golfweek magazine. The par 72, David Harman-designed championship course is just minutes from the hotel. Planners can arrange tournaments on the course and corporate group programs with The Brad Brewer Golf Academy.
