Holiday Inn Express Houston Downtown by IHG

Description

Houston is one of those cities that rewards the curious. The food scene alone could fill a week, and the downtown is a hub of activity, including world-class sports venues, live music, a 12-acre park, and some of the best Tex-Mex you'll find anywhere. Our hotel in downtown Houston puts you right in the middle of it. Daikin Park, Toyota Center, Discovery Green, and the George R. Brown Convention Center are all within walking distance of this downtown Houston hotel. Texas Street Tavern is in the lobby for dinner, and a complimentary Express Start Breakfast is included every morning. Holiday Inn Express Houston Downtown opened in 2026, so the rooms and finishes are all new. Monday through Wednesday, guests are invited to The Social: a 5:30 to 6:30 PM evening reception with complimentary appetizers and beverages. The outdoor heated pool, on-site parking, and a pet-friendly policy make this hotel in downtown Houston one that doesn't ask you to compromise.

Restaurant

Vic and Anthony's has been downtown Houston's steakhouse of record since 2002. USDA Prime beef, Gulf seafood, mahogany woodwork, and a wine list over 1,000 bottles. Voted Best Fine Dining by the Houston Chronicle in 2025. Upscale attire required.

Irma's Southwest has been a downtown Houston staple since 1999, serving Tex Mex with a Texas wild game twist: carnitas, mole, tamales made with wild boar and nilgai. Right next to Daikin Park, it's a natural stop before or after an Astros game.

The Grove sits inside Discovery Green with floor to ceiling windows looking out over live oak trees. The menu is modern Texas, spanning rotisserie meats, Gulf seafood, and local produce, from award winning chefs.
