Henry B. González Convention Center, Convention center in downtown San Antonio, United States.

The Henry B. González Convention Center occupies a 1,600,000-square-foot site along the San Antonio River Walk. Its stepped pale yellow stone facade rises in blocky tiers, with a rounded projecting balcony at mid-height and a white steel truss bridge bearing the center's name. A dark glass-and-steel section with tinted panes adjoins the stone base at the waterway.

The facility opened in 1968 and underwent a major expansion in 2016 that transformed it into a modern complex with updated technology and greater capacity. This renovation made the center current and more capable.

The center carries the name of Henry B. González, the San Antonio congressman who served from 1961 to 1997. Inside, the Market Street lobby holds "Liquid Crystal," a $1 million interactive installation by London's Jason Bruges Studio. The Lila Cockrell Theatre, part of the original 1968 construction, seats 2,319 and remains in use for performances.

The center sits right next to the San Antonio River Walk with easy access to nearby hotels, restaurants, and transportation. Visitors can conveniently reach all services in the surrounding area.

The 2016 expansion added the "Stars at Night" ballroom, which at 54,000 sq ft is the largest ballroom in Texas and holds 652 LED lights. The Market Street lobby also holds "Liquid Crystal", a $1 million interactive installation by London's Jason Bruges Studio.
