Traveling to Houston is easy, with two major airports in the city:

• George Bush Intercontinental (IAH): https://www.airport-houston.com/

• Houston Hobby (HOU): https://www.houston-hobby-airport.com/

Once you arrive, you’ll find renting a car, or using ride share services like Uber/Lyft will be easiest.  Note: the hotel does charge a daily fee for overnight parking in the garage.

There are many nearby dining options for guests a the Royal Sonesta.  Simply use the interactive map to the right to explore nearby options.
