Hawaii Convention Center

Hawaii Convention Center is steps from Waikiki and hosts meetings, conventions and consumer events, with the Nā Lehua Marketplace & Festival and a holiday ice show among recent ones. The building spans 1.1 million square feet and includes a 200,000-square-foot exhibit hall, a 35,000-square-foot ballroom, meeting rooms, tiered-seating theaters and a rooftop events garden. Open-air architecture, courtyards, waterfalls and fishponds set the grounds apart, and a renovation will turn the 95,000-square-foot rooftop terrace into an outdoor event space. A permanent art collection is on display, and an in-house culinary team handles food and beverage. Planners can download floor plans and schematics, including exhibit hall plans for sporting events, view an events calendar and request proposals through the meeting planner guide. Parking includes a paid garage, a paid lot and paid and free street spaces, and the entrance, parking and restrooms are wheelchair accessible.
