Planning an Event in Baltimore

In the heart of a renewed downtown, the Baltimore Convention Center features 300,000 square feet of contiguous exhibition space. Fifty meeting rooms accommodating up to 1,600 people can be found on the third floor; the fourth floor offers a 36,672-square-foot ballroom with a 28-foot ceiling and built-in, state-of-the-art sound system. The space can be divided into four sections to provide versatility. A spacious foyer for pre-function gatherings, complete kitchen and catering facilities are also located on the fourth floor. Terraces, including the new Green Roof, wrap around the building offering excellent views of the cityscape and harbor. The Baltimore Convention Center is only eight miles from the airport and is located conveniently between Baltimore's Inner Harbor and Oriole Park. The Center is close to public transportation for easy access by MARC Train to Washington, DC, or Baltimore's Light Rail to the Baltimore International Airport (BWI). Directly connected to the convention center by Skybridge is the 757-room Hilton Baltimore, the city's biggest hotel. The 20-story hotel connects to the convention center via an enclosed, climate-controlled pedestrian walkway. It contains 62,000 square feet of meeting space. Also connected to the convention center by skywalk is the 488-room Hyatt Regency Baltimore offering 40,000 square feet of function space, and 337-room Sheraton Inner Harbor Hotel, which can accommodate meetings of up to 1,000 guests.
