Orlando Hilton Convention Center

Welcoming visitors with over 18,000 square feet of sleek PTFE fiberglass, this soaring roof doesn’t just shelter—it elevates the entire entrance experience. Birdair, serving as the project’s roofing subcontractor, collaborated throughout the design-build process to craft the canopy’s precision-engineered steel frame and tensioned membrane system. Even the drainage is seamless, with an “invisible” gutter and downspout system integrated directly into the frame.

Inspired by the elegant curves of a clamshell, the canopy creates a striking visual identity for this landmark hotel. By day, its sweeping form captures the imagination; by night, carefully placed uplighting transforms the roof into a glowing beacon, welcoming guests from near and far. Beyond the canopy, the Hilton Orlando offers a pedestrian skybridge to the Orange County Convention Center—making it a true hub of design, functionality, and unforgettable first impressions.
