If you're traveling from out of town and need accommodations for the weekend, we have booked a block of rooms at a lovely independent boutique hotel in downtown Houston, The Whitehall.
If you're flying into Houston, both IAH (Intercontinental) and Hobby are about 20 or 30-minute drive into the central part of Houston. IAH is better if you're flying United, and Hobby is preferable if you fly Southwest. (Other airlines can vary.)
