If you are arriving via taxi or personal vehicle, you will be redirected to on alternate entrance. Simply follow the signs to the alternate entrance located in the parking garage where you will be greeted by friendly hotel staff. To offset inconvenience due to construction, the Hilton has granted Emerson Exchange guests with complimentary internet in their hotel room.

Due to the construction in front of the Hilton Anaheim, Sheraton guests should proceed to designated pedestrian cross walk across Convention Way, as the West side sidewalk is currently closed.
