Show and Congress Hall
this would be the meaning, but as it is its name, I would not translate it and put the name in English between brackets.

Exhibition & Congress Palace
'exhibitional' is "spenglish"
'show' is 'exhibition' in the expression 'trade show' but not used for a building
'hall' is not as elegant as the owners and builders want it to be

Convention Center
This is the standard term in the United States (pick up the yellow pages of any large US city, and you will find one listed.) I don't know what the term is in the UK, so it will depend on where your target audience is. (In NO case is it translated "Palace" - it will always be a Hall or a Center - Centre, if you're in the UK.)
