ROCKWALL — Statewide publication Texas Meetings + Events Magazine named Rockwall jewel Hilton Bella Harbor as North Texas' Best Conference Center, Hotel with Meeting Space and New Venue in its first ever Reader's Choice Best of Awards on Oct. 13.

The quarterly magazine serves as an expert resource for event and meeting planners. The Reader's Choice Best Of Awards acknowledge regional venues across Texas that event and meeting planners ranked highly based on client feedback, flexible management and unique attributes.

"Once you experience the breathtaking waterfront views, expansive space and meet the experienced management staff, it is clear why the Hilton Bella Harbor swept three categories," said Texas Meetings + Events Magazine Editor Jenny Davis.

After opening in May 2008, Hilton Bella Harbor quickly became a Rockwall architectural icon and a triple crown in the DFW hospitality industry due to its impressive conference center with more than 25,000 square feet dedicated flexible event and meeting spaces to accommodate groups and needs of any size. Located on the shore of Lake Ray Hubbard, the center boasts 7,000 square feet of pre-function space and 16 meeting rooms including two executive boardrooms and a 1,200 person capacity ballroom. Amenities include a top of the line sound system, video messaging and conferencing capabilities and access to professional event coordinators and in-house catering teams.

"We are honored to receive the awards and praise not only from a top hospitality publication but also from experienced professionals who work with us on a daily basis to create memorable functions and conferences," said Hilton Bella Harbor Manager Karen Coughlin, CMP. "We know we have a very special facility here in Rockwall and we are proud that it has been recognized by the most knowledgeable people in the business."

Hilton Bella Harbor is only 22 miles east of downtown Dallas, with lake views in 75 percent of the property's 231 guest rooms.

The hotel is owned by Whittle Development, Inc. and operated by Gateway Hospitality Group under a franchise license agreement with Hilton Hotels & resorts, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hilton Hotels Corporation.
