what's
NEW
at Hotel/Convention Center
Complexes of North America?
Things are looking up — and
hotels are going up. With rising
occupancy rates and increased
investment opportunities, hotel
expansions and new builds are
increasing and show organizers
now have more options.
The new atmosphere means where
there is a hotel need, a case can likely
be made, and many convention centers
are taking advantage of the swinging
pendulum. According to this latest
edition of the Trade Show Executive Report
on Hotel/Convention Center Complexes of
North America, nine exhibition venues
currently have convenient headquarters
hotels under construction (with completion expected in or before 2016) and at
least nine more convenient convention
hotels are in development.
Convenient hotels are defined as those
that are connected to a venue or located
adjacently or across the street. All-in-one
complexes incorporate meeting space
and guestrooms within one building.
Despite the new optimism, the development process is still fraught with obstacles.
This may be most evident in some of the
This
new amenities announced as hotels try
to gain a competitive advantage.
“Stay Well” rooms, designed by Delos
Loving, LLC, captured media attention
when they debuted last Fall at Las Vegas’
MGM Grand Hotel and Casino. With
features designed to provide a “wellness”
experience, the program is all about
the guest.
HOTEL/CONVENTION CENTER COMPLEXES
QUICK REFERENCE
Section I: United States
As more convention centers offer
hotels, the amenities in those hotels
will become more important from the
planner’s perspective. A report produced by PKF Hospitality Research,
LLC, and sponsored by ConventionSouth
magazine, last year found that planners
have found room rates less negotiable
(33% of negotiations in 2012 down from
58% in 2011) and nearly three-quarters
(72%) expected rates to rise this year.
If price cannot be negotiated, value
becomes more important.
New Amenities
This may be one reason the “Stay Well”
rooms captured such attention when they
debuted. Wellness programs, in general,
are a new trend and put the focus completely on guests and their experience,
particularly from a health perspective.
For instance, the Trump Hotel Collection’s Trump Wellness offers nutritionally tailored room service for meals and
“quick bites” as well as in-room exercise
equipment. Fairmont Hotels & Resorts
created the Fairmont Fit program, rolled
out globally this year. It loans guests
Reebok workout apparel and footwear,
an MP3 player and a yoga mat with
stretch band, all of which can be delivered directly to the room upon request.
The Westin Essence incorporates
both food and fitness along with other
services and amenities geared to help
guests sleep, eat, move, work, play and
feel well. It also loans workout gear
(New Balance sneakers) and offers
healthy dining choices; the now iconic
Heavenly Bed helps guests sleep well.
To help meeting planners “work well,”
the hotel offers SuperFoodsRx meeting
breaks (which include nutrient-rich, lowcalorie, tasty dishes), “clutter-free meetings” and Tangent, spaces for up to four
intended to streamline meetings with
smart technology and intuitive design.
Delos’ Stay Well room takes the effort
a bit further with 18 unique amenities
and services designed to help guests
“maximize downtime and prepare for
their hotel stay.” They operate across the
senses and sensibilities with lighting features that include wake-up light therapy,
dawn simulator alarm clocks and night

New Hotels
Stay Well’s Facebook page suggests the
rooms would be offered within a new
Miami Beach Convention Center hotel
if the Portman-CMC team wins the contract, but the bidding process continues.
The proposed hotel is part of a larger project involving renovation of the center and
the construction of restaurants and shops.
Many of the other hotels under consideration are standalone units though some
may involve attached walkways. None are
yet a confirmed go, but progress does seem
to be moving forward in each instance.
The closest may be the Aloft Hotel,
planned near the Colorado Convention
Center, which is completing designs and
preparing for groundbreaking. In Des
Moines, the Des Moines Redevelopment
Company (DMRC) has collected proposals for a 450-room hotel adjacent to the
Iowa Events Center and will need to sort
through its options now that the bidding
deadline has passed.
On the East Coast, a letter of intent
was published by the Massachusetts
Convention Center Authority (MCCA)
stating its goal to build two hotels across
from the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center; it is expected that a similar
letter will also be signed on the West
Coast by an investor/developer indicating
his intention to build a hotel connected
to the Spokane Convention Center.
Other cities are still working through
early steps. Developers in Savannah
and Minneapolis are exploring the
possibilities for convenient convention
hotels — Meet Minneapolis, Convention
and Visitors Association established a task
force after completing a feasibility study
— but no shovels are near the ground yet.
And the Greater Fort Lauderdale/Broward
County Convention Center is once again
trying to garner support for headquarters
hotel construction.
How will it all “turn down?” Check
our news updates and our next edition
of the Trade Show Executive Report on
Hotel/Convention Center Complexes of
North America. The annual report reviews
the status of hotel/convention center
complexes and all-in-one complexes
in North America. Basic information,
such as hotel convenience, number of
guestrooms, event space and contact
information, is provided.
The venues are broken out by category
in a quick reference list. The main listings
are organized alphabetically by facility
name. Properties under construction are
noted with the target completion dates.
Trade Show Executive will continue to
monitor the progress of these construction projects as well as new properties
in the pre-construction phases. TSE

CONTRARY TO
PUBLIC OPINION,
Progress like new hotels (5,300 rooms under construction or planned) and multimillion dollar upgrades in existing guest rooms, meeting spaces and ballrooms.
Immensely enhanced dining, nightlife and shopping experiences. New
monuments and museums. All in a place like no other. Sound like progress?
