The Votes are in and the Winners of the 2014 Locals' Choice Awards are...

Dozens of Houston hospitality companies were voted the best of the best in the inaugural VisitHouston.com Locals’ Choice Awards.

The awards covered categories including the arts, nightlife, leisure activities, hotels and dining. In late April, users of VisitHouston.com were asked to write-in their favorite places in more than sixty specific areas, from favorite sports bar to favorite Italian restaurant. After one week of write-in votes, the top write-ins in each category were included in the multiple choice portion of the contest for another week. Overall, more than 2,800 votes were cast over the two week period.

“Houstonians know what a wonderful, diverse and unique place we live in,” says Greg Ortale, president and CEO of the Greater Houston Convention and Visitors Bureau. “We also know that locals are our own best advocates for getting more people to come to Houston. What we sought to do with the Locals’ Choice Awards was to showcase and honor the restaurants, nightlife, museums and other places that Houstonians love. We’re proud to promote these favorites—and we hope the businesses, and those who voted for them, spread the word and encourage friends and family to head to H-Town and experience it for themselves.”

Winners in multiple categories included Hotel Zaza, which took six awards including favorite hotel restaurant, happy hour and pool. Kemah Boardwalk won awards for favorite place to take a visitor and favorite Houston attraction and Miller Outdoor Theatre won for favorite cultural attraction and favorite free thing to do. The Breakfast Klub and House of Pies both took multiple awards as well.
