Hilton Sandestin Beach Golf Resort & Spa, the largest full-service beachfront resort on Northwest Florida’s Gulf Coast, is proud to announce it has been chosen by the readers of Meetings & Conventions magazine as a 2013 Gold Key award winner, marking the fifteenth year the resort has earned the prestigious honor.  

 
Each year, Meetings & Conventions polls the professional meeting planners who subscribe to the magazine, asking them to rate the professionalism and quality of properties where they have held events. Ratings are based on the quality of meeting rooms, staff attitude, guest services, food and beverage service, proficiency of handling reservations, availability of technical/support equipment and recreational facilities. This year, 147 domestic and 15 international hotels and resorts were recognized with the Gold Key award.

“With all the options planners have, we’re honored to have once again earned the respect of this group of meeting and incentive professionals,” said Gary Brielmayer, Hilton Sandestin Beach Golf Resort & Spa general manager. “This distinction is a testament to our outstanding staff and management and their commitment to providing superlative service to meeting planners and attendees.”

In addition to its more than 32,000 square feet of recently transformed meeting space, stunning gulf views and beautiful beachfront location, Hilton Sandestin Beach offers an array of amenities to create the ideal meeting experience, including award-winning restaurants, luxurious spa and fitness center, recreational activities such as golf and tennis, and miles of sugar white sandy beaches.Meeting planners also enjoy the convenience of new technological capabilities and meeting space that has been dramatically redesigned with new lighting, carpet, furniture, wall treatments, and numerous other accents in a fresh, modern beach motif.

All winners will be listed in Meetings & Conventions ‘Gold Awards’ November issue and online at MCMag.com/Gold-Awards/Gold-Awards-Winners. For more information on Hilton Sandestin Beach or to make a reservation at Destin’s premier hotel, visit HiltonSandestinBeach.com or call 850-267-9500.
