The biggest and most eclectic city in Central California and the sixth largest city in the Golden State, Fresno may not necessarily be the first place that comes to mind when you're "California dreaming," but it's a place well worth the trip! So while you're here, for work or pleasure, we hope you'll make the most of it.

Of course, like many of our guests, you may want to check out the local college campuses that are within easy reach. You'll be glad to know that our hotel's near Fresno Pacific University and Fresno State University. Additional attractions wonderfully close to our hotel.

Central Locale

You don't have to travel far to get to know the best of Fresno. When you're a guest at the Holiday Inn Fresno Downtown Convention Center, you can enjoy top-notch Fresno shopping at River Park Shopping Center, delectable dining at a plethora of great restaurants and cute bistros nearby, take in a Fresno Grizzlies game at Chukchansi Park just up the street, or try your luck at Club One Casino directly next door to our hotel.
