“Exploration is the essence of the human spirit”
The Anaheim Convention Center North and Anaheim Arena, site of LAcon V, from Katella Avenue (courtesy Google); click for larger view.
The Anaheim Convention Center is located at 800 W. Katella Avenue in Anaheim; the Hilton Anaheim is at 777 W. Convention Way; and the Anaheim Marriott at 700 W. Convention Way. There is ample parking at the Convention Center and the Anaheim Hilton & Marriott hotels.
LACon V will use two facilities at the Anaheim Convention Center:
The Anaheim Arena is where our major functions including the Hugo Awards and the Masquerade will be located. The Arena is attached to the larger convention center building and seats up to 7500 attendees.
The Anaheim Convention Center North will feature both our major programming rooms on the upper level, as well as our exhibitor hall, where our dealers, artists and other displays are located, on the lower floor.
We are not using the primary convention center building; the ACC North building was built after the last Worldcon held there (L.A. Con IV in 2006), and completely meets our function space requirements.
We have separate pages with complete details about the Hilton Anaheim and Anaheim Marriott hotels, including room rates, parking and more. Check them out!

Additional Hotel Options
Additional hotel properties in the immediate vicinity of our function space include the Sheraton Park Hotel at the Anaheim Resort; the Clarion Hotel Anaheim Resort; the Anaheim Portofino Inn & Suites; the Residence Inn by Marriott at Anaheim Resort; the Hyatt House at Anaheim Resort; and many others… because of the close proximity to the Disneyland parks, there are dozens of hotels within a one block area.
Immediately across the street from the ACC North, across Katella Avenue and within very easy walking distance, is the Disneyland Resort, including both Disneyland and Disney’s California Adventure.
We will be adding to this list in the months to come, so stay tuned!
Photo Gallery
Below are a few photos from our last adventure, LAcon IV, the 2006 World Science Fiction Convention, held at the same properties, the Anaheim Convention Center and Anaheim Hilton. (If you haven’t visited before, you may recognize the Anaheim Convention Center from television and film; for example, the exterior of the convention center served as Starfleet Headquarters on Star Trek: Picard.)
