ARLINGTON, TX--(Marketwire -10/24/11)- At the Residence Inn Dallas Arlington South, the guests come first, but the community is not far behind. At this year's annual Marriott Conference, the hotel was honored with the Local Cultural Community (LCC) of the Year Award, which recognizes properties for their excellent efforts in community service and leadership.

The Dallas Arlington South is among 17 Residence Inn properties, including some Grand Prairie, Texas hotels, in its LCC, which focuses on the culture of the Residence Inn brand, whose motto is "I am Residence Inn and I Believe!" Each LCC chapter falls under the National Council (NCC).

At the Marriott Conference, held in March in Indianapolis, the hotel and its staff were applauded for their involvement in the local community, which included its events within the Dallas and Ft. Worth areas. The Residence Inn, one of the hotels near UTA, recognizes that its LCC of the Year Award was the result of its generous and hard-working staff, who donate time year-round to a variety of local charities and causes, including Susan G. Komen, children's hospitals, Scottish Rite Hospital, Blanket Buddies, Metro Crest Food Bank and Greet the Troops at DFW Airport.

The Residence Inn Dallas Arlington South is a fixture in the local community, whether as one of the best Arlington, TX wedding venues, a convenient place to stay after a game at Cowboys Stadium or UTA, or a place where residents can spend time with out-of-town guests in their spacious suites.
