Arlington Convention Center

Meet the New Standard for Events in Arlington. Opened in early 2024, the Arlington Convention Center (ACC) boasts 266,000 square feet of modern event space — including the impressive 51,224-square-foot Crystal Ballroom, the largest in the city.

Operated by Loews Hotels & Co., the ACC accommodates everything from intimate board meetings to large-scale conventions with seating for over 5,000 attendees. Whether you're planning a tradeshow, gala, wedding, or corporate meeting, the ACC delivers flexibility and elegance.

Event planners will appreciate the three spacious ballrooms, multiple breakout and reception areas, and exceptional in-house catering from the Loews culinary team. Plus, the 27,000-square-foot event lawn provides a unique outdoor setting for receptions and social gatherings.

The ACC connects directly to two premier Loews hotels — including the 888-room Loews Arlington Hotel and the stylish 300-room Live! by Loews via skybridge.
