Sustainable Hotels near Anaheim Convention Center: Budget-to-Premium, Eco-Certified Options
The Anaheim Convention Center spans 1.6 million square feet across multiple buildings. Only three hotels sit directly on or adjacent to the grounds — The Westin Anaheim Resort, Anaheim Marriott, and Hilton Anaheim — making them the most convenient choices for attendees.
The Convention Center itself runs a LEED-certified facility with 300,000 square feet of solar panels producing 2.4 megawatts, about 17% of the building’s total energy use. Onsite composting diverts 65,000 pounds of wet waste annually. You can find additional details on the Anaheim Convention Center sustainability page.
Pro savings tip: Anaheim’s transient occupancy tax sits at 15%, among the highest in California. Always compare total stay costs, not just base rates, when evaluating hotel prices.
