InterContinental Houston By IHG

Refined Comfort with a Beat in the Heart of Houston

Modern and upscale, the InterContinental Houston brings a polished vibe to Houston’s museum district. With a sleek outdoor pool, stylish rooms, and a location close to major attractions, this 4-star hotel is a great base for concert-goers looking to mix music and comfort. Rooms are spacious and well-equipped with flat-screen TVs, coffee makers, and some even offer pool views or private patios for a little post-show wind-down.

Whether you're in town for a big-name gig or a local showcase, you'll find yourself well-placed and well-rested here.

Why Concert-goers love it

The InterContinental Houston is just a short ride from popular venues like Rice Stadium and the city’s live music hotspots. While it’s close enough to the action, it offers a quiet retreat after a loud night out. With 24-hour front desk service, luggage storage, and a late 12:00 PM checkout, it’s perfect for those planning a slow morning after a high-energy evening. Getting around is easy with nearby ride-share access and public transport options.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends looking for a stylish and social stay
• Solo travelers chasing their favorite artist
• Couples planning a romantic weekend with a concert centerpiece
• Fans wanting a quieter space to recover post-show
• Budget-conscious music lovers who still want upscale comfort

Food and Drink Options

The hotel features its own on-site restaurant and bar, perfect for pre-show bites or a nightcap. While 24/7 room service isn't listed, the on-site restaurant serves both à la carte and buffet breakfast—ideal for late risers. There are also plenty of nearby dining spots within walking distance if you're craving something different after the encore.

Nightlife Options

Though the hotel keeps things classy and calm onsite, you're just a quick trip away from Houston’s buzzy bar scene. Whether you're into live music lounges, craft cocktail spots, or laid-back pubs, you’ll find something to keep the night going after the final encore.

What People Say

Guests rave about the InterContinental’s clean, modern rooms, friendly staff, and excellent location near Rice University and the Houston Zoo. Travelers love the quiet, upscale atmosphere and appreciate little extras like the outdoor pool and well-equipped fitness center. It’s often described as a great place to unwind after high-energy events.

Areas for Improvement

Parking can be on the pricier side, and while the hotel restaurant is solid, some guests wished for a few more varied late-night food options. A few also noted that rooms facing the street can catch occasional city noise—pack earplugs if you're a light sleeper.

The Bottom Line

If you're looking for a stylish, quiet base near Houston’s top music venues, the InterContinental Houston hits all the right notes.
