The Woodlands Resort and Conference Center continues to be showered with awards from meeting trade publications as voted on by top professionals including meeting planners from Fortune 1000 companies.

Most recently, the resort received Meeting South magazine's annual Best of the South award, Meeting and Conventions magazine's Gold Key award and Corporate and Incentive Travel magazine's Award of Excellence. Readers of the publications, which provide a wide range of planning resources, industry news and the most in-depth destination coverage, were asked to vote for their favorite properties based on extensive criteria such as quality of meeting space, guestrooms, guest services and amenities, food and beverage service, high-tech services and equipment, recreational facilities and activities, overall value, helpfulness of staff and experience.

"These awards recognize the dedication of each and every staff member who works to maintain our high level of standards,"" said Kent Johnson, general manager for the 440-room property. ""The awards are particularly meaningful because they come straight from the planners who have held events here."" The Woodlands Resort and Conference Center was the only Houston-area hotel to be awarded with the Best of the South award and was one of only five properties representing the state of Texas.
