SAN JOSE, CA - (March 10, 2010) - For the seventh consecutive year, Dolce Hayes Mansion here has earned one of the hospitality industry's highest honors, the 2010 Paragon Award, one of only 10 conference centers in North America to be so recognized.

The award was bestowed by Corporate Meetings & Incentives magazine, which annually asks its readers to vote for the hotels, resorts, and conference centers that best handled their meetings and incentive programs during the prior year. Conference centers are judged on their facilities, equipment, food, overall service and meetings services.

“Dolce Hayes Mansion is being honored for our consistent quality and unparalleled level of service,” said Cedric Fasbender, Dolce Hayes Mansion general manager, who also serves Dolce Hotels and Resorts as regional vice president. “Innovation, customer collaboration and top-notch amenities have helped set us apart from the rest. I am delighted on behalf of our associates, who worked so hard to achieve this honor in every year that Dolce has managed the property.”

The 100-year-old former private estate - now transformed into a luxury hotel, resort and spa - features Spanish Colonial Revival-style architecture and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Surrounded by lawns, accented with gardens and guarded by palm trees, Dolce Hayes Mansion offers a quiet haven for meetings and relaxation 15 minutes from San Jose International Airport and 45 minutes from San Francisco and Monterey.

The hotel's 25 function rooms, totaling 33,000 square feet, are certified by the International Association of Conference Centers. Hotel facilities also include two restaurants, a lounge, day spa, fitness center, outdoor pool and tennis courts. The entire facility is served by complimentary wireless Internet service.

Dolce Hotels and Resorts, a privately held operator of 26 upscale hotels, resorts and conference hotels in North America and Europe, employs approximately 4,000 worldwide. Headquartered in Montvale, N.J., the company is majority-owned by Broadreach Capital Partners. Additional information is available at www.dolce.com.
