Extraordinary Meetings in a Unique Destination
Welcome to San Antonio, Texas
More than just a tourism capital, San Antonio is a meeting and convention powerhouse offering a dynamic landscape to attract and entertain, with the venues and infrastructure to host any size or style of event. With 48,000 hotel rooms citywide and over 4,000 diverse restaurants, there are so many lodging and group dining options for every budget.
San Antonio has always been one of the most easily walkable convention center districts in the country, in large part thanks to the River Walk, also referred to as the “World’s Largest Hotel Lobby.” The River Walk provides unique networking and teambuilding opportunities, with a plethora of activities ranging from shopping to arts and culture to barge rides and kayaking.
The 1.6M square foot Henry B. González Convention Center sits on the banks of the River Walk and hosts more than 300 events each year with over 750,000 convention delegates from around the world. The Stars at Night ballroom is the largest in Texas and features 652 LED lights overhead. The expansion and modernization of the convention center have created a highly flexible space with the technology needed to host the biggest events in the country.
A vibrant and culturally diverse city from its origin, hospitality is one of San Antonio's top five industries. A warm welcome and top-notch service is the standard, not the exception.
