Choose Your Venue
Select your event to compare the most relevant bases and transport planning links.
Texans selected. Hotel choices updated.
Traveling for a Dynamo match?
Compare Downtown hotel bases, starting with Westin and Hampton. Plan your journey to Shell Energy Stadium separately; this is a base comparison, not a verified walking route.
Traveling for a Texans game?
Compare the Stadium Area and Texas Medical Center first, then Downtown if you want a city weekend. Plan both the trip to the Reliant Stadium (formerly NRG Stadium) and the trip back.
Traveling for an Astros game?
Start with Downtown: The Westin Houston Downtown is the ballpark-side choice; compare the other Downtown hotels around the rest of your stay. Check the Daikin Park journey and postgame return.
Traveling for a Rockets game?
Start with Downtown: Hilton Americas-Houston is the Rockets-led choice; Marriott Marquis and Hampton provide other reasons to choose the convention district. Check Toyota Center arrival and return.
