THE PEABODY ORLANDO – SHINES NAMED AMONG THE “BEST OF THE SOUTH”
ORLANDO, FLA. — AUGUST 9, 2006 — The Peabody Orlando has been named again among the Best of the
South, an award that is bestowed by readers of the prestigious Meetings South, a publication
read by thousands of meeting planners and meetings industry professionals.
“Winning a Best of the South award is a testament to the quality of a hotel or resort from those
who know most, the meeting professionals that book programs in the South,” said Tyler Davidson,
editorial director of Meetings Media, which publishes Meetings South magazine. “Only the
properties that are proven in the marketplace as providing the highest level of service and the
finest meeting and event facilities are recognized by the Meetings South readers who ultimately
select the Best of the South winners.”
The Peabody Orlando was chosen from among hundreds of hotels throughout the South, and was one
of just 55 properties to be designated Best of the South. “This award recognizes our associates’
dedication to excellence in all facets of our operations, facilities, catering and convention
services,” said Alan C. Villaverde, executive vice president, Peabody Hotels, and general
manager of The Peabody Orlando.”
Meetings South’s Best of the South award is voted upon by the publication’s meeting planner
readers who are invited to vote for those properties that delivered the highest quality of
service and expertise, and provided flawless, memorable meetings. Awardwinning elements include
top-of-the-line function space equipped with state-of-the-art telecommunications and audio-
visual; stand-alone restaurant quality catering/ banquet services; comfortable guestrooms
equipped with the latest communications technology; excellent recreational facilities; value,
and above all, competent, experienced, helpful staff.
“Meeting planners choose The Peabody Orlando because of its reputation as one of the nation’s
premier, award-winning meetings hotels,“ said David Adelson, the hotel’s director of sales and
marketing. “The hotel was custom-designed and built to meet and exceed the needs of meeting
planners and their clients. With 891 luxurious guestrooms, 57,000 square feet of flexible
function space, and outstanding high-tech services and equipment, the Best of the South award
is well placed at The Peabody Orlando.
The Peabody Orlando is a Mobil Travel Guide Four-Star, AAA Four Diamond property of Peabody
Hotels within the portfolio of Peabody Hotel Group, and is a member of Preferred Hotels &
