Every year, Cvent analyzes billions of dollars in sourcing activity to reveal the hotels and destinations that planners trust most for their meetings and events. These are the venues that consistently deliver, the cities that keep planners coming back, and the performers that stood out in a competitive global landscape.
From Orlando to Singapore, and for the first time ever, across Latin America, this year’s lists showcase the top meeting spots across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific (APAC), the Middle East and Africa (MEA), and Latin America. Whether you're a planner looking for your next go-to venue or a hotelier eager to see how your property stacks up, the 2025 Top Lists are your insider guide to what’s hot and where business is booming.
Let’s take a look at the top performers.
Understanding the Cvent Top Lists
Cvent’s Top Lists are powered by real sourcing data from one of the world’s largest event venue marketplaces: the Cvent Supplier Network. With nearly 340,000 hotels and venues listed and $17.7 billion in RFP value sourced in 2024 alone, these rankings reflect where planners are actively sourcing, booking, and returning to time and time again.
To create the 2025 rankings, Cvent analyzed qualified sourcing activity from January 1 through December 31, 2024. That includes everything from initial RFPs to business actually awarded through the platform.
Here’s what goes into the rankings:
Business Received: The total value of RFPs sent to a hotel or destination
Business Awarded: The value of business actually won
Market Share: A destination or property’s share of overall sourcing activity in its category
Conversion Rate: How often RFPs turn into wins
This methodology ensures a fair and accurate picture of performance. It accounts for both the number and size of hotels in a market, preventing one mega-property from skewing the results. In other words: these rankings highlight consistent excellence, not just one-off wins.
For planners, this means a reliable guide to top-performing venues. For hospitality pros, it’s a data-backed snapshot of who’s leading the way in group/MICE business.
