Chateau on the Lake Resort, Spa & Convention Center in Branson, Missouri, has captured two more awards from the meetings industry, Meetings & Conventions magazine’s highly coveted “Gold Key Award” for 2008, and Association Meetings magazine’s prestigious “Inner Circle Award” for 2008. Plaques commemorating the awards will be presented to Stephen Marshall, vice president and general manager of the AAA Four-Diamond resort, which stands on a beautiful Ozark mountaintop overlooking scenic Table Rock Lake. The 301-room resort boasts the largest convention center in Southwest Missouri, with 43,500 square feet of flexible meeting space, and the ability to host groups from 10 to 3,000.
“Consistently receiving these honors recognizes that Chateau on the Lake Resort, Spa & Convention Center is an outstanding choice for meetings, incentive groups and conventions,” said Marshall. “Not only does the resort have a beautiful mountaintop and lakefront setting, exceptional on-site offerings, and a great location near all of the diverse entertainment options of Branson, but we are consistently recognized for providing exceptional service too.”
The “Gold Key Award” is presented annually to the finest meeting properties in the world, as nominated and selected by the readers of Meetings & Conventions magazine. Votes are based on the overall professionalism and quality of the property, and on such criteria as 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. Winners will be showcased in the magazine’s November 2008 issue.
Association Meetings magazine’s “2008 Inner Circle Award” was presented to only 40 hotels and resorts. Properties were selected by the magazine’s readers for their high level of service, flexible function space, quality of food and beverage, and good value on room rates. Winners were profiled in the magazine’s August 2008 issue.
