Our advice: book private rooms by December 23, 2026.
The 1,203-room Hilton Americas-Houston is next door to the convention center, and the Four Seasons, Embassy Suites, Westin Houston Downtown and Holiday Inn Express are within five blocks.
Discovery Green is right beside the convention center, and Xochi, Zaranda, Toro Toro and Vic & Anthony's are all a short walk away for dinner.
The Rockets host the Jazz at Toyota Center on Wed Feb 3 at 8:30 PM, a short walk from the convention center, so book nearby tables early that night.
