Come Down to the ‘Crossroads’
Located in the center of Louisiana, the Alexandria/Pineville area is nicknamed “The Crossroads” because all roads lead there. The two cities are accessible by four major interstates and by commercial air via Delta, Continental and Northwestern at England Industrial Airpark, making it easy for attendees to get to your meeting – and enjoy themselves while there.
Alexandria and Pineville offer fun for all ages, so the cities are especially good destinations for groups who like to bring their families along. From historical sites to children’s museums and an accredited zoo, central Louisiana has something for everyone. Louisiana is the “Sportsman’s Paradise,” and Alexandria/Pineville is a center for hunting, fishing and sports. The area offers everything from trophy bass and six-point bucks to a relaxing weekend in the great outdoors. It’s also the perfect location for everything from softball and soccer to golf and archery. Alexandria and Pineville offer a virtual gumbo of cultural activities, living history, world-class recreation, art and much more.
For the business side of your meeting, the area is home to a wide array of accommodations and meeting facilities at budget-friendly prices. The Alexander Fulton Hotel and Convention Center is located in the heart of downtown Alexandria and offers 11,088 square feet of meeting space and 173 guest rooms. In addition to a variety of hotels with meeting space, the city also offers a number of off-site venues, such as the Alexandria Museum of Art, Inglewood Plantation, historic Lloyd Hall and the Conference Center at the Greens, offering meeting space for up to 150 people.
