2026 Renovations at Hamilton Convention Centre
Pardon our
glow up.
The Hamilton Convention Centre is undergoing a transformative revitalization, reimagining every corner of our facility to enhance form, function, and guest experience. From the vibrant new moss wall in the main lobby to refined finishes in our ballrooms, lounges, and meeting spaces, each update is designed to bring more comfort, clarity, and connection. Whether you’re arriving for a large-scale event or an intimate gathering, these thoughtful enhancements will offer a fresh, welcoming atmosphere that reflects the future of events in Hamilton.
Level 1
Lobby & Corridor
Our main lobby is getting a bold new look, anchored by a two-storey moss wall that brings nature inside in a big way. The space will include updated finishes, comfy lounge seating, and a modern reception area that feels as inviting as it looks.
Level 1’s corridor will feature refreshed finishes, built-in wayfinding, conversation nooks, and two new favourites: a coffee kiosk and a wine bar. Whether you’re arriving early or staying late, this space will feel vibrant, social, and easy to navigate.
Wentworth Hall
Wentworth Hall is being transformed with new LED-lit ceiling panels, warm wood finishes, and a sleeker concession area. A glass pedestrian bridge to the Sheraton Hotel will span the hall, offering light, openness, and a strong sense of connectivity.
Level 2
Common Spaces & Meeting Rooms
We’re refreshing our Level 2 meeting spaces with new floors, lighting, finishes, and upgraded signage to help guests find their way with ease. Feature walls and updated details will bring more texture, interest, and personality to every corner; ideal for breakout sessions or focused team meetings.
Albion Room
The Albion Room is getting a refined new feel. Pendant lighting and updated ceilings will open up the space, while reclad partitions with exposed glass provide flexible layouts and better sightlines. Expect a blend of softness and structure—finished with wood mouldings, sconces, and new carpet throughout.
Level 3
Common Areas, Registration & Bar
Level 3 is all about energy and connection. We’re starting with the registration zone, where updated lighting, modular desks, and greenery will create a fresh first impression. This flexible space will be outfitted with movable furniture so that the area can be customized to your event’s needs.
The old coatroom is becoming a centralized convention office and casual self-serve commissary—right across from registration and the main plenary. A brand-new bar with a piano-lounge vibe will anchor the floor with soft lighting, luxe details, and space to sit back and stay awhile.
Chedoke Room
The Chedoke Ballroom is stepping up. New ceiling inserts, sculptural lighting, acoustic upgrades, and custom wall panels will give the space a layered, polished look. A new feature wall and reimagined stage backdrop will add drama and elegance, whether you’re hosting a gala or a keynote.
Webster Lounge & Room
Say hello to a more open, luxurious Webster Room. With drop ceilings removed and custom lighting and millwork added, the space will feel brighter, taller, and more refined. Folding glazed doors will open out to the terrace for indoor-outdoor flexibility.
In the Webster Lounge next door, refreshed bar finishes, new carpet, and a dramatic feature wall will bring a relaxed, upscale atmosphere to life.
