Hotels in Singapore and Sydney make it to the top 10 spots in an annual list compiled by cloud-based enterprise event management company, Cvent.
More than 245,000 hotels, resorts and special event venues featured in the Cvent Supplier Network were analysed based on their meeting and event booking activity, which reflected an increase in competition among global meeting and event hotels for this highly profitable business segment.
Seven out of the top 10 meeting hotels are from Singapore with the rest from Sydney, Australia. Hilton, Hyatt and Intercontinental are the top three hotel chains with the most properties in the top 50.

“Hotels have become increasingly focused on developing more meeting and event business, and as such, have become more sophisticated in competing for the most lucrative opportunities for their respective venues,” said Kevin Fliess, Vice President of marketing for Cvent’s Hospitality Cloud.
“Hotels continue to advance and expand their group marketing efforts and are increasingly embracing a data-driven approach to more effectively pursue the optimal meetings and events for their venue. This coupled with another year of notable investment in renovation and other upgrades have led to shifts in the rankings as competition remains fierce even in a robust market,” continued Fliess.
