The $165-million expansion of the George R. Brown Convention Center was completed in late 2003. Encompassing 1.8 million square feet in total, the center nearly doubled its exhibition space to 853,500 square feet and now features 105 meeting rooms. Adjacent to the Brown Convention Center is the new Hilton Americas-Houston. In addition to more than 1,200 guest rooms, this convention hotel offers 91,000 square feet of flexible meeting space, including 26,000- and 40,000-square foot ballrooms and 30 meeting rooms. Reliant Center, home to the Houston Texans, offers 1.4 million square feet of convention and meeting space.
