Houston

Home to a respected and energetic cultural arts scene, celebrated restaurants featuring flavors from more than 70 global regions, world-renowned theater groups and the brains behind U.S. space exploration, Houston is a diverse metropolis brimming with personality.

With a revitalized Downtown and expanded meeting facilities, including the new GRB South Building set to open in May 2028, Houston offers a cosmopolitan setting for all conventions and meetings. From Downtown’s George R. Brown Convention Center, the adjacent 1,200-room Hilton Americas-Houston and 1,000-room Marriott Marquis and the multi-building NRG Park campus, Houston offers superior meeting venues. Plus, the convenient METRORail connects Downtown with the Museum District, the Texas Medical Center and NRG Park, making it easy to travel within the city.

And when the meeting is over, be ready to play. Houston hosts 21,000 concerts, plays, exhibitions and other arts programs annually, giving visitors access to a wide variety of cultural programs. On any given night there’s likely a show somewhere in Houston’s Theater District. The 17-block area is home to Houston’s resident performance companies including the symphony, opera, drama and ballet. Tucked between the bustling Midtown and Medical Center areas, rests Houston’s leafy, park-like Museum District. Nineteen world-class institutions, including the Menil Collection, Museum of Fine Arts, Houston and the Houston Museum of Natural Science are clustered in this area, drawing seven million visitors to the district each year.
