  • Central downtown location makes sightseeing on foot easy.

A compact downtown location that keeps you close to major attractions while offering a quieter hotel footprint than big convention properties.

  • Fitness concierge provides loaner gear and local route maps for runs and walks.
  • On-site bars and restaurants (Tejas Lounge, Moda Fare, Ruth’s Chris) provide evening dining and drinks.
