*Data are derived from the Knowland Group’s national reader board service. Hotels surveyed are determined by request from Knowland Group clients. Data do not represent a scientific study. Estimated number of attendees is based on size of meeting rooms occupied and, where possible to determine, configuration of rooms and does not necessarily correspond to room nights actualized. Data on catered events are determined by function descriptions. Single instance events, such as weddings, although included in client reports, or omitted here. Certain oversized properties, including conference and convention centers, although included in client reports if requested, are omitted here.
