Houston is a big city of separate districts. Downtown has the theaters, arenas and convention center. The Museum District and Montrose are closer to the art museums, parks and restaurants.
Downtown has the Theater District, Discovery Green, George R. Brown Convention Center and major arenas within several blocks. METRORail lines cross the center, but Houston is not a single walkable district. Pick a hotel near the venue or rail station you will actually use.
Southwest of downtown, the Museum District has the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, the Houston Museum of Natural Science and Hermann Park. The METRORail Red Line connects it with downtown and the Texas Medical Center. Montrose lies farther west, with galleries, the Menil Collection and restaurants. From there you rely more on buses or rides.
The Galleria and Uptown sit west of the central districts around Westheimer Road and Post Oak Boulevard. This is a shopping and business base, not a walk from downtown museums. The Heights, northwest of downtown, has independent shops and restaurants along 19th Street. It feels like a neighborhood, not a convention district.
Houston has two major commercial airports. George Bush Intercontinental is north of downtown and Hobby is southeast; METRO Route 500 links both with downtown. Summers are hot and humid, while winter and early spring are more comfortable for outdoor walks. Allow for heavy rain at any time of year.
George R. Brown Convention Center, Discovery Green and the Theater District are spread across downtown. Stay near your event or a METRORail stop. Walking across the center in summer heat is tiring.
Around here: George R. Brown Convention Center, Discovery Green, Theater District
The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston and the Houston Museum of Natural Science are near Hermann Park. The Red Line continues to the Texas Medical Center. The district covers many blocks, so book near the station or museum you need.
Around here: Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, Houston Museum of Natural Science, Hermann Park
The Menil Collection, galleries and restaurants are west of the Museum District. Choose Montrose for dining in the neighborhood, and check the route to downtown or the Medical Center before you book.
Around here: The Menil Collection, Westheimer Road, Rothko Chapel
The Galleria and Post Oak Boulevard are the center of this west-side shopping and business district. Hotels here are close to Uptown meetings. Downtown theaters and museums are a ride away.
Around here: The Galleria, Post Oak Boulevard, Westheimer Road
19th Street has shops and restaurants in a neighborhood northwest of downtown. Choose the Heights for local evenings and expect a bus or car trip to the Museum District, convention center or airport.
Around here: 19th Street, Heights Boulevard, White Oak Drive
Come between late fall and early spring for museum and park days without the summer heat. In July and August highs are near 95°F and the air is humid. Rain falls in every month, so have an indoor plan ready.
George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH) is about 20 miles north of downtown; William P. Hobby Airport (HOU) is about 11 miles southeast. METRO Route 500 connects both airports with downtown. The Red, Green and Purple rail lines serve central districts, while west-side trips often need a bus or car.

METRO Route 500 runs nonstop from Terminal E to downtown; Route 102 makes local stops. Cabs, rideshares and rental cars are also available.
11 mi from downtown
