AUSTIN
Event Venues, Additions & Renovations
The Austin Convention Center closed in April for a complete reconstruction and expansion. Following a few months of demolition, construction on the $1.6 billion plan officially began in September. The project will expand the ACC’s total event space to 620,000 square feet (550,000 interior plus 70,000 outdoor). Work is expected to finish up in late 2028, with the aim of creating a zero-carbon-certified convention center.
A renovation and restoration is underway at the Driskill Hotel, part of Hyatt’s Unbound Collection. The project at the 1886 hotel encompasses its 175 guest rooms, public areas and meeting space. Phase 1, finishing in November, adds a new 2,800-square-foot ballroom, new F&B concepts and curated retail space.
Coming next year to Austin-Bergstrom International Airport is a new baggage-handling system, part of an ongoing $4 billion expansion. The West Gate’s 84,500 square feet of new space opens in 2026, and adds more restrooms and waiting areas. A new arrivals and departures hall could open by 2030.
Delta Air Lines is launching four new nonstop routes from Austin-Bergstrom International Airport to Denver; Columbus, Ohio; Kansas City, Mo.; and Miami. The carrier also is increasing service on the existing routes to San Francisco and Indianapolis.
A $30 million renovation is ongoing at the 297-room AT&T Hotel and Conference Center. The work will modernize the hotel’s 85,000 square feet of meeting space and upgrade A/V offerings. A new junior ballroom already has opened.
While the convention center is closed, 10 Marriotts have teamed up as the AustinPlace Hotel Collection to ease event bookings. Another group, Austin’s Red River Collection, combines three convention-district properties for the same purpose.
The 251-room 1 Hotel Austin, an environmentally friendly property, will debut in 2026 in what will be the tallest tower in town. The development is being built where Waller Creek meets Lady Bird Lake.
The Omni Barton Creek has plenty to please planners — such as 76,000 square feet of event space. But it is renowned for its four stellar golf layouts, two designed by the legendary Tom Fazio. The property features nine F&B outlets, and the 13,000-square-foot Mokara Spa has a variety of treatments to soothe sore muscles after a round.
On the heels of winning several Innovate awards from the International Spa Association, Hyatt’s Miraval brand has launched group well-being retreats. The offer includes all meals, and unlimited outback hiking; group-fitness, yoga and meditation classes; and challenge activities — not to mention shuttle transfers. Try out the offerings at the Miraval Austin Resort and Spa.

host events of all sizes imaginable (it seats 150,000, after all). Just a few options: Put guests in cars for a lap, host an event in one of the pit-lane garages, or set up in the 17,000-square-foot event center.

A groundbreaking ceremony was held last June to kick off the expansion of the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center Dallas, attended by the facility’s namesake, the former U.S. permanent representative to NATO. Also at the end of June, the city began the selection process for companies to oversee the construction, architecture, engineering and design of the $3 billion project. Originally, the plan was to build a new facility and demolish the old building, but that approach has been reimagined to incorporate the existing center into the project.
A $30 million renovation has been completed in the 718-room tower at the Hilton Anatole. Some of the space was reconfigured, adding four more rooms and converting many rooms to suites, bringing the hotel’s total to 1,610. The top-to-bottom project brought in new furnishings, carpets and artwork aimed to enhance the overall comfort and aesthetic. The property features 600,000 square feet of event space.
Three top-notch hotels are under development. A redesign of the Cityplace tower will house the new InterContinental Dallas, coming in 2025 with 220 rooms and 21,000 square feet of meeting space. Opening in 2026 in the city’s Knox Street neighborhood is the 140-room Knox, an Auberge Resorts Collection property. And the 233-room Four Seasons Dallas Turtle Creek will debut in October 2027.
The 545-room Fairmont Dallas, an Arts District hotel, has hired Adam Reson as the hotel’s new executive chef. He is implementing a new dining program at the Pyramid Restaurant and Bar, as well as overseeing catering operations for the hotel’s 70,000 square feet of meeting space.

Nicknamed Sports City USA, Frisco is headquarters for the NFL’s Dallas Cowboys, the NHL’s Dallas Stars and the PGA of America, and is home to the Double-A Frisco RoughRiders baseball team, the FC Dallas soccer club and Kurt Thomas Gymnastics. So it’s fitting that the National Soccer Hall of Fame chose the city as the perfect spot for its facility. The venue has two main areas for events: The Gallagher Club can host up to 700 people and includes access to the exhibits. The Red Star Club welcomes up to 300 guests and features a 100-foot bar and outdoor space that overlooks the FC Dallas pitch at Toyota Stadium.
The Dallas football team’s headquarters, the Star District, features a host of opportunities for a free afternoon for event participants.
