Meetings and Conferences
Pensacola Beach is one of America’s first colonies, settled by the Spanish conquistador Tristan De Luna in 1559. After a few weeks, the settlement was decimated by a hurricane, and the area was eventually abandoned. But Pensacola is resilient as all get out and eventually, it was rebuilt, stronger than ever. In 1834, the United States government contracted out the creation of a military fort, Fort Pickens, on the edge of the island to defend its shores. Controlled by the Union during the Civil War, Fort Pickens was one of the bay’s most valuable protections, as it dealt the final blow against the Confederacy to push them out of Pensacola for good.
In the 1930s, bridges were finally built to connect the island to the mainland, and thousands flocked to the beach to celebrate the grand opening of the Pensacola Beach Casino. With our nationally protected beaches and our one-of-a-kind attractions in Pensacola Beach like the USS Oriskany, the biggest artificial reef in the world, Pensacola Beach’s captivating history continues to grow every day.
And if you’re interested in artistic history spanning beyond Pensacola Beach, you have to visit some of the captivating art galleries in the area. There are a few galleries in downtown Pensacola, but on the island itself, you’ll find Luna Fine Art Gallery in the Hilton Pensacola Beach hotel, where they feature incredible works from local and regional artists.

As the largest, the Hilton Pensacola Beach has 30,000 square feet of meeting space, 275 guest rooms and suites, a 24-hour gym, indoor and outdoor pools, award-winning dining, and everything you could possibly need to make your next event a success.
