Marriott Marquis Houston

Stylish Downtown Stay with a Texas-Sized Twist

Modern luxury meets Texas flair at the Marriott Marquis Houston, a sleek high-rise hotel in the heart of downtown. Located just steps from Discovery Green Park and the George R. Brown Convention Center, this upscale hotel is a favorite for both business travelers and music fans. With a rooftop pool featuring a Texas-shaped lazy river, six on-site dining options, and sweeping city views, it’s the perfect base for concert-goers looking to mix comfort with a little wow factor.

Why Concert-goers love it

This hotel is a concert-goer's dream thanks to its unbeatable walkable location—just minutes from top venues like Minute Maid Park, Toyota Center, and BBVA Compass Stadium. After the show, you’ll appreciate the quiet, upscale atmosphere that offers a relaxing escape from the crowds. Late check-in (from 4:00 PM) and a generous 12:00 PM check-out time give you the flexibility to sleep in after a night out. Plus, cabs and rideshares are always nearby for getting around downtown late at night.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends looking for a fun stay with great amenities
• Solo travelers attending a bucket-list concert
• Couples making a weekend getaway out of a show
• Fans who want to relax in a quiet, stylish space post-show
• Budget-conscious luxury seekers who want value without sacrificing comfort

Food and Drink Options

With 6 on-site dining spots, you won’t need to wander far after a show. Enjoy classic American eats at Biggio’s or head to Xochi for award-winning Mexican cuisine. Cueva offers wine and tapas late into the evening, and the Texas T Coffee House has your morning-after caffeine fix covered. Breakfast at Walker Street Kitchen is perfect for a late start the next day. While there’s no 24/7 room service, the range of dining hours and variety more than make up for it.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel doesn't host live music itself, you’re surrounded by Houston’s vibrant nightlife. From rooftop lounges to sports bars, there’s something within walking distance for every vibe. The hotel bar, Cueva, is a stylish spot to sip on local wines or cocktails before heading out—or winding down post-concert.
