Phoenix, AZ: This timeless Southwestern backdrop is the perfect setting for family vacations, weekend adventures or romantic getaways. Each year, 22 million leisure visitors travel to Greater Phoenix. They enjoy resorts and spas infused with Native American tradition, golf courses that stay emerald green all year, mountain parks crisscrossed with trails, and sports venues that host the biggest events in the nation.
Greater Phoenix’s top attractions include are South Mountain Park and Preserve, Tempe Town Lake, Camelback Mountain and First Friday Art Walks in downtown Phoenix. Other noteworthy attractions include the OdySea Aquarium, Heard Museum, Desert Botanical Garden, Heritage and Science Park, the Musical Instrument Museum, and Phoenix Zoo. Phoenix, of course, is also the gateway to the Grand Canyon which is just 3½ hours by car.
Inspired by the red-rock walls and turquoise waters of the Grand Canyon, the Phoenix Convention Center is one of the most beautiful and sophisticated convention centers in the United States. Its interconnected campus includes three ballrooms, 99 meeting/breakout rooms, a 2,300-seat performance hall and an Executive Conference Center.
Located in the heart of downtown, you’re just minutes away from the comforts of our MACNA hotel, the cuisine and cocktails of nearby restaurants, and the nightlife of Phoenix’s urban core. The Phoenix Convention Center also boasts award-winning catering staff and a bright and airy food court features five themed eateries.
The Sheraton Grand Phoenix is a contemporary destination located in the heart of downtown. The city’s largest hotel, welcomes guests with thoughtful amenities, dynamic accommodations and a prime location near the Phoenix Convention Center.
