Why Concert-goers love it

The location is unbeatable—just minutes on foot from downtown Houston’s major concert and theater venues. After the show, retreat to quiet, soundproofed rooms with blackout curtains for a restful night. The hotel’s free local shuttle makes getting around easy, even if you’re catching a late show.

Food and Drink Options

The on-site restaurant serves up classic American cuisine, and there's a buffet breakfast available every morning—perfect after a late night out.

You’ll also find great dining options within walking distance if you're craving something local post-show.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself doesn’t host live music, it’s surrounded by a vibrant nightlife scene. You’re steps from bars, lounges, and after-hours spots in the Theater District.
