HOUSTON'S premier meeting place, the George R. Brown Convention Center Center draws hundreds of thousands of visitors annually.  The convention center is conveniently connected to Houston’s largest hotel, the Hilton Americas, and is equal walking distance to Minute Maid Park and Toyota Center. 

Discovery Green park is immediately outside the Brown’s front doors hosting a variety of daily free events and the new dining/entertainment/shopping hub Houston Pavilions is only 4-blocks away. METRORail is close by and with that access to Midtown, the Museum District, Texas Medical Center and Reliant Park.
