Pictures of the San Diego Convention Center

I visited the San Diego Convention Center a couple of weeks ago and was quite impressed by it. It’s located just a frew minutes’ cab ride from the San Diego International Airport, bookended by two hotels – Hilton to the south and Marriott to the north – and it runs parallell to the San Diego Bay to the west and Harbor Drive and the transit train to the east. The visitor-friendly Gaslamp Quarter with its myriad of bars, cafes and restaurants is literally across the street and Petco Park, home of the San Diego Padres, is just a few walkable blocks away, as is aircraft carrier museum USS Midway.

It is, quite simply, a great place to hold a convention or conference. Below are a dozen pictures from the convention center and its immediate surroundings.
