(Macao, Nov. 6, 2014) – Sands® Macao and The Venetian® Macao have each been recognised as Best Meeting Hotel in the 2014-2015 City Traveler Best Hotel Awards. These latest accolades continue to demonstrate the success of the two hotels' long-term commitment to providing premium facilities and the highest levels of service excellence to business and leisure travellers.

“We are very pleased that both Sands Macao and The Venetian Macao have been recognised by City Traveler as outstanding meeting destinations,” said Gunther Hatt, Executive Vice President of Operations of Sands China Ltd. “With our world-class venues and meeting facilities, we are proud to provide hassle-free services and solutions for event planners. We will continue to strive to exceed our guests' expectations at every level and to deliver unforgettable experiences for all our visitors.”

The awards were given to Sands Macao and The Venetian Macao at the 2014-2015 City Traveler Best Hotel Awards Ceremony & Wine Dinner Oct. 16 in Shanghai. The prestigious awards programme has great influence in the hotel industry in China, selecting its winners through constant feedback from guests and evaluation of facilities and service excellence of hotels in China.

The conference and banqueting facilities of Sands Macao are fully equipped to cater to a variety of event needs, from small gatherings at the Reflections Multi-Function Room by the pool to wedding banquets or special celebrations for up to 600 guests in the ballroom.

The Venetian Macao is specifically designed to meet the needs of meeting planners and event organisers and its award-winning service team makes anything possible for corporate events. With over 100,000 square metres of state-of-the-art exhibition space, flexible meeting space and ballrooms, the sheer size and scale of the Cotai Expo and the Cotai Arena at The Venetian Macao set them apart. The four-day Tupperware Brands Corporation Asia-Pacific conference held in February at The Venetian Macao and its sister properties Sands® Cotai Central and The Plaza™ Macao was one of the largest events for Sands China, welcoming 8,700 delegates and once again proving the unrivalled ability of this meetings destination in hosting events on a massive scale.
