TORONTO --Each year, Meetings + Incentive Travel
magazine asks readers to vote for hotels, venues and suppliers that
went above and beyond to meet the demanding and detailed needs of
meeting planners.
The magazine looks to identify suppliers and venues
that consistently raise the bar and lead the pack, making things easier
for meeting planners as they host groups large and small.
The properties
and meeting-supply companies with the most votes get top honours.
These companies are placed in an elite class of “favourites,” as voted
and designated by M+IT readers. Starwood Canada is delighted to announce
that The Westin Ottawa and The Westin Bayshore, Vancouver have been
named to this elite roster of Readers’ Choice favourites.
“Receiving
this coveted designation from the readers of M+IT means a great deal,”
said Robert Lemieux, Director of Sales and Marketing at The Westin
Bayshore, Vancouver. “At Westin, everything we do is designed to help
guests feel their best. From our world-renowned Heavenly® Bed and
nourishing SuperFoodsRx™ dishes, to our energizing WestinWORKOUT, every
element is created to leave our guests’ feeling better than when they
arrived.”
“We’re
thrilled with this accolade,” said Cindy McLong, Director of Sales and
Marketing at The Westin Ottawa. “With Westin’s six pillars of well-being
we’re committed to providing an inspiring environment and thoughtful
amenities to help guests stay productive and achieve their best.
Meeting planners and delegates can stay productive and organized with
our Westin® clutter-free meetings and we’re focused on providing our
