Distinguished award given by Meetings & Conventions magazine recognizes the best in event planning

LAKE GENEVA, WI — The AAA Four-Diamond Grand Geneva Resort & Spa, owned and managed by Marcus® Hotels & Resorts, is proud to be a recipient of this year’s Meetings & Conventions’ Gold Key Award. This accolade recognizes the Grand Geneva as one of the country’s premier meetings and events destinations.

Centrally located in the Lake Geneva, Wis. community, the Grand Geneva Resort & Spa is the area’s only AAA Four-Diamond property, and features over 62,000 square feet of devoted meeting space. Event planners and visitors can find a wealth of amenities at the year-round property, including two championship golf courses – The Brute and The Highlands, award-winning restaurants, an 18-run ski hill, and a full-service spa.

“It is an honor to be recognized with a Gold Key Award,” said Director of Sales and Marketing Edward Svitak. “Receiving this accolade is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our associates in providing each guest with an exceptional experience during their stay.”

All winners of this award of excellence were nominated and selected by the readers of Meetings & Conventions, who based their votes on the overall professionalism and quality of the property. Meeting planners selected their winning properties based on strict industry criteria including: staff attitude, quality of meeting rooms, quality of guest services, food and beverage service, proficiency of handling reservations, availability of technical/support equipment, and range of recreational facilities. Winning hotels and resorts will also be featured in Meetings & Conventions’ Gold Awards issue published this November.
