    Stunning Waterfront Venues

    Waterfront venues with attached guest rooms on the Thumbcoast include the Blue Water Convention Center and attached DoubleTree by Hilton in Port Huron and the St. Clair Inn 12 miles away in St. Clair.  Both locations offer stunning views of the St. Clair River and charming downtowns ideal for unforgettable meetings and retreats.

    The St. Clair Inn Celebrates 100 Years in 2026

    Conveniently Located

    Located just an hour from Detroit and Flint airports and at the Canadian border where I-94 and I-69 meet, our convention center offers easy air, land, or water access. Enjoy the charm of a small town with the amenities of a big city, making it an ideal destination for your next meeting or convention.

    Seamless Transportation

    Blue Water Area Transit offers regularly scheduled bus services six days a week on a loop from the convention center to the heart of Downtown Port Huron’s entertainment, shopping, and dining. If you want to explore more, we can arrange private charter bus services or a charming trolley ride to help you discover the Thumbcoast region.

    Accommodations

    With over 1,000 nearby hotel rooms, there’s a variety of accommodations to choose from, including scenic waterfront views and urban downtown vibes, as well as a hotel directly connected to the convention center or quick access to the expressway.

    Things to Do

    Our sales team can suggest an itinerary of activities for your attendees and their guests or for the meeting agenda itself. This will help make your program memorable and make less work for you.

    If you want to be outdoors, you can take a scenic walk along the Blue Water River Walk, tour over 51 points of interest on the Blue Water Trolley, cruise the shoreline with Huron Lady Cruise, and explore beaches within walking distance. At night, discover some of the entertainment hotspots at Wrigley Center, Bootleggers Axe Co., or the beer garden at Casey’s on the Plaza

    If you would rather be inside, browse unique boutiques on Historic Military Street in Downtown Port Huron, experience passionate performances at live theaters, or get creative at the Foundry.
