Hilton Daytona Beach Oceanfront Resort PRESSROOM

Hotel is one of only twelve sites in Florida to be recognized with annual honor

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. - Hilton Daytona Beach Oceanfront Resort has been awarded a 2018 Top New or Renovated Meeting Site Award from ConventionSouth, a national multimedia resource for planning events held in the South. 

Hilton Daytona Beach Oceanfront Resort is among an elite list of 66 meeting facilities located across the South to receive this year's Top New or Renovated Meeting Site Award. The hotel is one of only twelve sites in Florida to receive this recognition and the only site in Daytona Beach. 

"This is an honor we are so proud to receive," said Jim Berkley, Hilton Daytona Beach Oceanfront Resort general manager. "The multi-million dollar renovation our property underwent over the past year represented a period of rebirth in which one of our goals was to evolve and elevate guest experience through modern, redesigned spaces and upscale amenities. This award is a testament to those efforts, and we're excited to unveil all of the updates we've made as a result of the renovation." 

Started in 2016 and completed in October 2017, the $25 million renovation involved extensive enhancements to various areas of the property, including the resort's 60,000 square feet of meeting and special event spaces, dining and entertainment venues, pools and beachside cabanas, lobby and common areas. 

"After a lengthy review of what Hilton Daytona Beach Oceanfront Resort now has to offer meeting planners and attendees, we feel it indeed displays a superior commitment to providing groups with the top-of-the-line amenities and service that they require," said Marcia Bradford, ConventionSouth associate publisher. 

A complete list of 2018 New and Renovated award winners is available here. In addition to its inclusion in this year's New or Renovated Awards, Hilton Daytona Beach Oceanfront Resort has been chosen as the site for Rendezvous South 2018, an exclusive event for meeting planners and destinations to be held Feb. 26-28, 2018.
