Because the Renaissance Portsmouth Hotel & Waterfront Conference Center is such an outstanding facility, we strongly encourage meeting attendees to bring a guest and make the meeting a mini vacation.
In addition to the wonderful on-site amenities -- indoor and outdoor pools, spa, golf, tennis, and fitness center -- guests can take advantage of a special adults-only program of activities.
Family and Youth Activities
We know that some of you will want to opt out of the adults-only spouse program to spend the time exploring with your children. To see the exciting opportunities available, click here.

- Please note that Portsmouth is a Historic town located along the Elizabeth River. Many downtown sidewalks are brick with some uneven areas. Comfortable walking shoes should be worn for most events outside of the hotel. The riverside location does provide for breezes off of the water. We recommend you bring a sweater or jacket.
- A free trolley runs from the Renaissance through Olde Towne Monday through Thursday to provide convenient access to the shops and restaurants.
