The Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center Dallas, at 650 S Griffin St. in downtown Dallas, has two official parking options run by ACE Parking: a 1,200-space garage at Memorial Drive and S Griffin Street for $20 a day and Lot C at 502 S Lamar Street, with 170 spaces, for $17 a day. Both are first-come, first-served with no in-and-out privileges. DART’s Convention Center Station serves the building. By car, the center is about 7 miles from Dallas Love Field, roughly 15 minutes in light traffic, and about 21 miles from DFW Airport, roughly 27 minutes. A chauffeured car drops you at your event’s entrance and skips the garage entirely.
Parking at the convention center.
The two parking options the convention center lists for attendees.
| Option | Where | Spaces | Daily rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| Convention center garage | Memorial Dr. & S Griffin St. | 1,200 on 2 levels | $20 |
| Lot C | 502 S Lamar St. | 170 | $17 |
Skip the garage.
The convention center’s own parking page does not publish a dedicated drop-off zone, and big events often use different halls and lobbies. Check your event’s attendee information for the entrance to use and give it to us when you book.
Your chauffeur drops you at that entrance and agrees a pickup spot for the end of the day. For several days of sessions, dinners and client meetings, hourly as-directed service keeps one chauffeur with you: a 4-hour sedan booking is $340 before gratuity and fees.
