Situated deep in the heart of Arlington, between Dallas and Fort Worth, the new Loews Arlington Hotel and Convention Center, which opened its doors in February 2024, is the culmination of an $810 million expansion project. The modern, glass-fronted facility boasts 266,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor meeting space, and the state-of-the-art construction project has three ballrooms, including the 51,224 square-foot Crystal Ballroom, which is the largest in Arlington. It also has five levels of ample and versatile meeting space and theater seating for 5,000, and just outside the convention center's doors is a 27,000-square-foot event lawn. Art lovers should make a stop at the Arlington Museum of Art, which just opened its doors in the nearby Entertainment District.
