The leading meeting, event, and hospitality technology provider Cvent recently released a ranking of hotels based on group business performance.
“The hotels featured on this year’s lists are elevating their group business strategy through innovative digital marketing and quick and complete online responses to RFPs — which is exactly what event professionals want,” said Chris McAndrews, vice president of marketing, Cvent Hospitality Cloud. “Our Top Meeting Hotels lists are consistently used by event organizers to find great hotels and by hoteliers looking to set themselves apart to increase their property’s group business revenue.”
Cvent’s ranking highlights the properties that excel at attracting and servicing group business through strong digital presence, timely proposal responses, and effective event-focused amenities. These factors help meeting planners evaluate venues that can deliver smooth, professional experiences for conferences, corporate meetings, and special events.
The top 10 hotels for meetings in the United States, listed in descending order, are: Omni Nashville Hotel; JW Marriott Austin; ARIA Resort & Casino; Fairmont Austin; Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center; Renaissance Nashville Hotel; Hyatt Regency Atlanta; Hilton Austin; Manchester Grand Hyatt San Diego; and The Diplomat Beach Resort Hollywood.
“Being recognized as the highest-ranking hotel on this year’s list is a testament to our team and our continued dedication to providing exceptional service and amenities that event organizers and attendees look for,” said Tod Roadarmel, area director of sales and marketing, Omni Nashville Hotel. “With three properties in the Top 10 from Nashville, we are proud to be leading the list and to support Nashville’s position as a prime destination for meetings and events.”
The list underlines several trends shaping the meetings industry: the importance of rapid, accurate RFP responses; the role of targeted digital marketing in attracting group business; and the value of facilities and services tailored specifically to meeting and event needs. Hotels that invest in streamlined online tools and training for event teams tend to perform better in Cvent’s evaluation, attracting more planners and higher group revenue.
For event professionals, the ranking offers a practical shortlist of vetted venues known for responsiveness and meeting-ready capabilities. For hoteliers, it provides benchmarks and examples of successful strategies—digital outreach, clear proposals, and reliable on-site support—that can help increase group bookings and strengthen a property’s reputation in the meetings market.
Overall, Cvent’s Top Meeting Hotels list serves as a useful resource for both planners seeking dependable venues and hoteliers aiming to refine their group business approach. The recognition highlights properties that combine strong operational execution with digital efficiency, meeting the evolving expectations of today’s event organizers.
