Stay Close to the Action in Downtown Houston
If staying in the heart of one of America’s largest cities seems overwhelming to you, think again if you’ll be visiting Houston. With a reasonably compact city center that includes multiple sports stadiums, the Theater District which is home to live stage plays, the symphony, opera and ballet, and an abundance of excellent dining options, choosing a downtown hotel may be your best decision when visiting this dynamic city.
Other reasons to stay in downtown Houston include Discovery Park, an urban oasis full of beautiful greenery and summer events, and the ease of walking to the central business district and the Brown Convention Center. You can also hop on the city’s easy to navigate light rail system if you want to escape the summer heat or need to get to your destination quicker.
Downtown Houston hotel guests can eliminate the need for having a rental car or driving their own vehicle while they’re here if they drove into town. Park the car and forget about it until it’s time to head home. Of course, downtown parking isn’t bargain-priced, but it’s still better than driving in Houston’s notorious traffic. If you have plans to head to the Museum District, Midtown, the University of Houston, or Rice University, it’s just a short ride via Uber or Lyft to get there.

Additional Downtown Houston Hotel Options
Of course, not every vacationer wants or needs four or five-star hotel accommodations with a restaurant, bar, elaborate fitness facilities, and upscale amenities in their room. Perhaps you’re visiting Houston for an Astros or Rockets game, to attend a play or concert, or just for a quick break to recharge from life itself. If this sounds like you, downtown Houston offers a broad selection of familiar property names where you will enjoy clean, comfortable rooms, perhaps a complimentary breakfast, usually more affordably priced parking, and most importantly, lower room rates than the full-service hotels nearby.
