CHICAGO — The Hotel/Convention Center Complexes report, compiled by Trade Show Executive and appearing in the November issue, details convention centers in North America that feature hotels within one city block as well as all-in-one facilities that offer both hotel rooms and space for exhibits within the venue. The 2024 edition of the report provides listings for 313 complexes, and also shines a light on upcoming hotel developments.
One such development is the Courtyard by Marriott Convention Center, being built across from California’s Fresno Convention & Entertainment Center and featuring 144 rooms and 3,600 square feet (sf) of event space. The hotel is projected to open next month. Down the coast, Chula Vista, Calif., will welcome guests to the Gaylord Pacific Resort & Convention Center when the hotel debuts in spring 2025. With 1,600 rooms, 140,049 sf of prime exhibit space and 52,302 sf of meeting space this all-in-one venue will be able to host both exhibits and attendees. In Q4 2025, the Omni Fort Lauderdale Hotel is scheduled to premiere as the headquarter hotel for Florida’s Greater Fort Lauderdale/Broward County Convention Center. Attached to the convention center, this facility will offer 801 rooms and 73,000 sf of event space. The Aloft Hudson Yards is also planning a 2025 launch, with an exact date to be determined. This property will be across from the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in New York and will contain 379 rooms and 8,000 sf of event space.
