Hotel Spotlight: Hilton West Palm Beach, Where the Convention Center Is Your Hallway
Connected directly to the Palm Beach County Convention Center, with a 1,200-guest ballroom, a 20,000 sq ft pool deck and four restaurants under one roof.
Shuttles are the line item nobody wants. You pay for the buses, build the schedule around them, and still lose attendees between the hotel and the session room.
At Hilton West Palm Beach, that problem doesn't exist. The hotel has been connected to the Palm Beach County Convention Center by an enclosed walkway since it opened in 2016. Attendees walk from general session to their rooms without stepping outside.
Best fit
- Annual meetings and conventions using the convention center that want their block under one roof
- Incentive and association groups that want outdoor events built in
Quick specs
- Oceana Ballroom: 13,366 sq ft, up to 1,200 guests, 23-foot ceilings, splits into four rooms
- Coral Ballroom: 5,850 sq ft, up to 525 guests, splits into five rooms
- Meeting rooms: six, for breakouts and boardroom sessions
- Pool deck: 20,000 sq ft, 800+ guests
- Event lawns: 180 to 350 guests
- Total: 35,000+ sq ft of indoor and outdoor space
- Next door: the 350,000 sq ft convention center, with a 100,000 sq ft exhibit hall, a 22,000 sq ft ballroom and 19 meeting rooms
How a three-day program fits
Day 1: Welcome reception on the pool deck. Summer brings heat and rain, so ask for an indoor backup in your contract.
Day 2: General session in Oceana, then split the ballroom or move to the meeting rooms for breakouts. Need exhibit space? Walk to the convention center's 100,000 sq ft hall.
Day 3: Closing dinner on an event lawn, or let the group scatter. Four on-site restaurants (Galley, Mezze, Moody Tongue Sushi and La Playa) mean no dine-around logistics.
Getting there
- About three miles from President Donald J. Trump International Airport (DJT, formerly PBI), with a complimentary hotel shuttle from 7 am to 7 pm
- Steps from CityPlace shopping and dining, about two miles from the Palm Beach waterfront
- Parking: the convention center's garage has 2,500+ spaces
