Hospitality

A Premier Destination for the Hotel Industry

Downtown Houston is the destination for business and leisure travelers. Home to 40% of the hotels located within the Inner Loop, Downtown Houston offers world-class cultural amenities - from sports stadiums, Discovery Green, and a world-renowned Theater District - and outstanding connectivity to Houston's Museum District, Medical Center, EaDo neighborhood, and bike and hike network of trails along the bayou.

With strong occupancy rates and demand due to the George R Brown convention center, surging popularity with tourists, and a strong link to NRG Park, from Rodeo to sports championships, Downtown is the ideal location for your next hotel development or expansion.

Key Benefits for the Hotel Industry:
