The Westin Houston Downtown
9.1 Rating (741 Reviews)
0.3 miles from George R. Brown Convention Center
1520 Texas Avenue, Houston, TX 77002
Tied for the highest guest rating at 9.1/10, and at 200 rooms versus the Hilton's 1,207, check-in during peak convention week moves considerably faster. Two restaurants and 24-hour room service handle the evenings when leaving the building is not on the agenda.
Homewood Suites Houston Downtown
8.5 Rating (487 Reviews)
0.3 miles from George R. Brown Convention Center
710 Crawford Street, Houston, TX 77002
When the conference runs four days, the full kitchen makes a material difference: full-sized refrigerator, freezer, and stovetop in every suite. Free breakfast is included daily, and the 127-room scale keeps things quieter than the convention-scale properties one block over.
