Downtown

You could say Downtown Houston is in the middle of a renaissance. With luxury hotels, thoughtfully-designed green space's, a vast array of public art, and dining options for all budgets, downtown is no longer just a hub for corporate HQ's and cookie-cutter accommodations.

Can't forget: The Houston Astros and Houston Rockets both call downtown home, and many of the city's public festivities take place along Allen Parkway, walking distance from City Hall.
