Situated in the heart of fast-growing McAllen, and just a short walk from the convention center for which it is named, the contemporary property offers the largest, full-service event space in the City of Palms.

Just three miles from McAllen Miller International Airport, and in close proximity to manufacturing facilities in nearby Mexico, Embassy Suites by Hilton McAllen Convention Center is a convenient respite for business travelers as well as tourists visiting the numerous Rio Grande Valley attractions.

"With free made-to-order breakfast and other amenities, travelers to McAllen can enjoy the features and quality of service that have earned our brand worldwide acclaim.”

Each of the 150 spacious two-room suites and studio suites is accentuated with modern décor. The living room has a sofa sleeper, work space and 55-inch HDTV, plus a kitchenette with microwave, mini-refrigerator, coffee maker and wet bar featuring gourmet coffee and teas from The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf®. The private bedroom has a king or two queen beds and an additional 55-inch HDTV. Guests can enjoy complimentary Wi-Fi in all suites, as well as in the hotel’s public areas.

A particular highlight is the hotel’s 12,000 square feet of attractive event space, ideal for conferences, weddings or holiday parties. The main ballroom may accommodate as many as 600 guests, and can also be divided into five smaller spaces.

Guests at Embassy Suites by Hilton McAllen Convention Center may enjoy the brand’s signature amenities, including its free made-to-order breakfast and two-hour complimentary Evening Reception* with snacks and beverages.

Menu mainstays include grilled meats and fish, fresh oven baked pizza, rotisserie chicken and more. Those preferring to dine in-suite may select room service or pick up snacks and sundries in the hotel’s 24-hour convenience store.

Exercise enthusiasts may use the hotel’s onsite fitness center featuring state-of-the-art Precor equipment, or relax in the outdoor heated pool and hot tub. Plenty of outdoor seating enables guests to comfortably enjoy warm Texas nights.
