It’s a Good Time
to Meet in Suffolk
Ideal for small meetings, conferences, reunions
and special events, Suffolk offers small-town
charm with big-city amenities. Conveniently located
within Hampton Roads, Suffolk is an easy 15- to
30-minute drive from Portsmouth, Norfolk, Hampton,
Newport News and Smithfield. Virginia Beach and
Colonial Williamsburg are just 30 to 45 minutes
away.
Suffolk offers a variety of
public meeting facilities including the soon-to-open
Suffolk Conference Center. Slated to begin hosting
events early in 2005, it will have 14,000 square
feet of flexible meeting space and a six-acre
riverfront park, which is ideal for outdoor
events.
Opening alongside the center is Hilton Garden
Inn Suffolk, which will have 150 guest rooms.
