Routes to and from Convention Center
There are two options to leave the Sheraton. First, as you exit the elevator lobby to
the main hotel lobby, turn right (north) and go to the main doors to J Street. Turn
right (east) and walk to the intersection of J and 13th Street. The second option is to
walk east from the hotel lobby through the hotel – PMB Lounge to the wooden floor
at the east end of the lounge area. The wooden floor – to your right (south) will take
you to the east set of stairs that go down to the ground level Nave Ballrooms. To
your left (north) it will come to a set of door that comes out at J and 13th Street.
There are several options to get to the Convention Center.
First option - Cross 13th Street – J Street will be on your left (north) and the
intersection does not have an audible signal. 13th street is two-way (north/south),
one lane in each direction. J Street is one way east. The crossing has a well-defined
dimpled curb cuts. Once across the street, turn right (south). The Convention
Center, on your left – 13th Street on your right occupies about 80 percent of 13th
Street frontage. There are trees and benches along the curb. There are no definitive
landmarks, there may be some music and sounds of people to your right, which is
the only indicator of the northern entrance that will take you into the Convention
Center, and to your immediate right (south) is Starbucks. Continuing south on 13th
Street, the area will open up as the front line of the Convention Center is set back
further from the street. As you approach the south end of the Convention Center
you will come to the entrance of the West Lobby. There are two large columns that
stand in front of the entrance to your left.
Second option– at the intersection of J and 13th Street turn right (south) and travel
on the west side of the street. There are trees, benches and areas of grass at the
curb on your left and on your right there is a railing with an outdoor seating area for
the Sheraton. The path of travel is otherwise unobstructed. At the south end of the
Sheraton is a service alley (to your right) and across the alley is the entrance to a
parking garage. The sidewalk has a slight downward slope (left toward the street).
Although there is one large opening you will first past the entrance for vehicles and
then the exit. For pedestrian safety, whenever a vehicle is about to exit the parking
garage, there is an audible warning. Continuing south you will pass Pennisi’s Deli,
open for morning coffee/pastry and light lunch shot. To your left at curbside are
tables and chairs. Continuing south on your right is an office building that has a
recessed opening at the south end. There is a large column in front of the entrance
and in the path of travel. You are entering the area on your right (west) that is Kay
pedestrian mall. At the street side (your left) sidewalk and street become blended
and to your upper back right is a large air-handling unit (noise). You should be able
to hear the sounds of water in fountains that are in 13th Street that separate the two
lanes of traffic. There are two fountains and the pedestrian path of travel
(approximately 15 feet wide) is between the two fountains. There is not a welldefined crossing point on the Kay side. As you approach the east side – you are
coming to the doors of the West Lobby of the Convention Center.
The third option is to cross 13th Street at J and continue east. As you walk along the
Convention Center there are many sets of doors but the first will provide access to
the first floor North Lobby, near the intersection with the West Hall (men/women’s
restrooms) and continuing south past Starbucks, Wolfgang Puck (carpet to tile to
carpet) and ending at the West Lobby.
Returning from Convention Center
If you are staying at the Sheraton or Citizens Hotel, as you come out of the door, turn
left (east) and walk to the corner of 13th and J. There path of travel changes because
of pillars to the Convention Center, but keep the sound of J street on your right. At
13th Street, cross and to access the Sheraton, to your left will be the entrance to the
PMB Lounge. For the Citizen’s Hotel, continue north crossings, 12th, 11th and 10th,
and the entrance to The Grange will be on your left followed by the main entrance to
