Plan on Arlington, Texas

A new convention center connected to 1,200 luxury guest rooms, three professional sports stadiums, a massive food, beverage and entertainment complex, and a world-class museum honoring American heroes—all within walking distance of each other. In Arlington, Texas, when we say “Plan on Different,” we mean it.

Arlington’s walkable convention campus is in the heart of its entertainment district, which is 15 minutes from Dallas Fort Worth International Airport, the world’s third-busiest airport. Arlington is also just 25 minutes from Dallas’ Love Field. Arlington is a meeting planner’s dream with offsite venues, such as the Texas Rangers’ Globe Life Field, Texas Live!, AT&T Stadium—home of the Dallas Cowboys, and the National Medal of Honor Museum just steps away from the Arlington Convention Center. Esports Stadium Arlington and its incredible video screens, along with the Arlington Independent School District’s Center for Visual & Performing Arts, are other unique venues within blocks of the convention center. Additionally, Loews Hotels & Co. has two high-end hotels connected to the convention center in the 888-room Loews Arlington Hotel, plus the 300-room Live! by Loews. Arlington features numerous hotels with meeting space that collectively host hundreds of meetings annually. Our Arlington CVB convention sales team can connect you with our hotels to discuss standalone meetings or including them in citywide room blocks.

Other Arlington attractions in its entertainment district include Six Flags Over Texas, Hurricane Harbor and the International Bowling Museum & Hall of Fame. Downtown Arlington is just a mile away from the entertainment district. Restaurants, arts and culture, live music, nightlife and the University of Texas Arlington make downtown a great place to augment your delegates’ stays. You really have to see it to fully understand why an Arlington meeting is such a different and elevated experience.
