Lake Geneva’s AAA, Four-Diamond Grand Geneva Resort & Spa, owned and operated by Marcus Hotels & Resorts, is proud to be a recipient of the Meetings & Conventions (M&C) 2016 Gold Key Award in the Best Hotel/Resort category in the Midwestern region. This accolade recognizes the property as one of the country’s top resorts for meetings and events for the fourth time in five years.

Located in Lake Geneva, Wis., Grand Geneva Resort & Spa is the area’s only AAA Four-Diamond property, and features more than 62,000 square feet of devoted meeting space. On site event planners and visitors will find a variety of amenities and unique seasonal activities, including two championship golf courses – The Brute and The Highlands, award-winning restaurants, an 18-run ski hill, a full-service spa, equestrian trails, and hiking, biking and more at the new Adventure Center.

We are sincerely grateful to the readers for selecting Grand Geneva as one of the best resorts in the Midwest and look forward to continuing to provide the highest level of service.”

For over 35 years, M&C’s Gold Key Awards have recognized leading hotels that have excelled in servicing meeting and event professionals, as voted on by the readers of M&C. This year, hotel chains were recognized nationally, while leading hotel properties were recognized in several categories regionally in the U.S. and worldwide.

“Our readers tell us that what sets these Gold Key Award-winning hotels apart is their commitment to ensuring not only the highest degree of support in planning events, but also a commitment to executing them,” said David Blansfield, executive vice president and group publisher, Northstar Meetings Group, which publishes M&C. “Our entire team joins M&C’s readers in honoring these outstanding hotels and their staffs who make it their mission to facilitate memorable event experiences, for planners and attendees alike.

All winners will be listed in M&C’s annual Gold Awards special issue, in print and online, distributed to 50,000 readers in November 2016. The online version will be posted simultaneously and available for viewing for a full-year online.
