Albuquerque, NM (August 16, 2011) – Sheraton Albuquerque Uptown Hotel was awarded the 2011
Best of the West Award by national publication Meetings Focus.
 
For a hotel to be awarded the Best of the West awards; Meetings Focus polls its readers to get
their take on what hotels and resorts throughout the regions delivered a superlative meetings
experience.
 
The properties are judged on the following criteria: the quality of meeting space; guest rooms;
guest services and amenities; food and beverage service; high-tech services and equipment;
recreational facilities and activates; the efficiency and helpfulness of staff; and overall value and
experience.
 
“Now that business is on the upswing and expectations from attendees and organization are
rising, meeting planners need to make informed decisions about what facilities are best suited for
their meetings,” says Meetings Focus. “And who better to get that information from than fellow
planners who have held meetings at the properties.”
 
“We are extremely honored to be one of only two hotels in the entire state of New Mexico to be
selected as a 2011 Best of the West Award Winner,” said Edward Mendoza CTC, CMP Director
of Sales and Marketing for the Sheraton Albuquerque Uptown Hotel. “It’s a testament that
Uptown Albuquerque is a great location to hold meetings.” “Our commitment to service and $20
Million renovations makes us a perfect choice when considering Albuquerque for a meeting.”
