Hyatt Regency Sydney has been crowned the top meeting hotel in the Asia Pacific, according to an annual study conducted by Cvent.

The list was compiled by analysing group booking activity though its supplier network, which sourced more than $14.7 billion and more than $40 million room nights in 2017.

Shangri-La Hotel, Sydney came in at a close second, followed by Sydney Harbour Marriott Hotel at Circular Quay at number three.

Cvent has released its annual report on the Top 50 Meeting Hotels in the Asia Pacific. The list was compiled by analysing group booking activity through its Cvent Supplier Network, which sourced more than $14.7 billion and more than 40 million room nights in 2017, helping to support more than 715,000 events worldwide.

“With industry research showing the current global value of the meetings and events industry at $750+ billion* and growing substantially, there is huge potential for hotels across the region to capitalise on group business opportunities,” said Bharet Malhotra, Senior Vice President of Sales for Cvent’s Hospitality Cloud.

“In the Asia Pacific region, Singapore and Australia remain top hubs for meetings and events, but hotels in Hong Kong, China, and Japan have worked hard to attract more group business to their regions and the rankings this year certainly reflect the positive results of those efforts,” said Chris McAndrews, Vice President of Marketing for Cvent’s Hospitality Cloud.

“Since opening in December 2016, Hyatt Regency Sydney has gone from strength to strength, welcoming thousands of domestic and international guests,” said Malcolm Zancanaro, General Manager at Hyatt Regency Sydney.

“We pride ourselves on being a place for people to connect, so the meetings, incentives, conferencing and events market is extremely important to our business. This award is a nice acknowledgement of the effort we invest in delivering exceptional and memorable experiences for our guests.”
