The Whitehall Houston offers a business center, available 24 hours a day with a room key and a complimentary shuttle in the immediate Downtown and Midtown areas from 7 am to 11 pm on a first-come, first-served basis. Valet parking is available. The hotel is a non-smoking property. The goal is to make everyone, including people with hearing or vision loss, or any other disability, to access information about the hotel and to book a stay.

“This Houston hotel strikes me as a blend of Southern charm and modern luxury. The in-house art gallery, a collaboration with SCAD, gives it a unique cultural edge, while multiple restaurants add to the experience. I see this as a solid choice, particularly given its access to downtown and Midtown.”
