  • Los Angeles-Long Beach, CA (1888PressRelease) December 29, 2012 - Smart Meetings magazine, the industry's premier resource for meeting professionals, recently announced the winners of its ninth annual Platinum Choice award. This prestigious award recognizes excellence in service and amenities among meeting facilities in the U.S., Canada, Mexico and the Caribbean.

    "This year's winners exceeded expectations and exemplified positive, professional standards that reflect a true commitment to the meetings industry," said Marin Bright, founder and publisher. "We want to reward industry leaders, innovators and top service providers that make a real difference for planners and attendees."

    Out of thousands of qualified properties and organizations, the Hilton Los Angeles/Universal City was among a select few honored with this award. Winners earn this recognition by setting exemplary standards in a range of categories, including ambience, amenities, breadth of resources, facility quality, guest services, meeting space, meeting packages, recreational activities, restaurant and dining facilities, staff attitude and technical support. They're chosen by the magazine's readers, who vote for their favorites over a two-month period, with additional input from editors and industry experts.

    "Meeting, conferences, and events remain our passion," states Mark Davis, General Manager. "Our team takes a special pride in seeing their efforts noticed on a large scale. We endeavor to make the planning process as easy as possible, with a team of event experts available to focus on the details while planners focus on objectives.
