Floorplan of the San Antonio Convention Center
at street level

At the heart of San Antonio’s appeal are her expanded convention facilities compacted into an easily accessible complex, yet maintaining an open, airy atmosphere. The Convention Center rests in the shadow of the soaring Tower of the Americas, a 750-foot-tall facility topped with a revolving restaurant and observation deck. Modern comfortable accommodations are often within walking distance. Transportation, whether by foot, river boat, bus or car, is quick, and San Antonio’s many fine convention hotel properties offer a wide range of facilities.

San Antonio’s Convention Center complex is an architectural delight that reflects the color and the culture of the city. This striking complex, a permanent legacy of the 1968 San Antonio World’s Fair, is one of the reasons why San Antonio is attracting more than 300,000 delegates every year to conventions, business meetings, trade shows and exhibitions.

Recently expanded, the Center now offers two exhibit halls of 120,000 square feet each (or opened as one for 240,000 square feet) and 46 meeting rooms. Current features include the following: Theater of the Performing Arts, Exhibit Halls (North and South), Banquet Halls (North and South), Meeting Rooms. We are sorry to say that the 15,342 seat Arena has been dismantled. It appears on this map because a new version was not available at the time of publication. We understand that more remodeling and renovation will be done between now and LoneStarCon2 so look for updates in future Progress Reports.
