“We are delighted to expand the Holiday Inn brand to downtown Houston. It is a strong market for business travel given its proximity to some of the area’s big businesses, and we are confident that guests staying here will find that the property’s amenities and service help them balance the demands of business travel with an enjoyable and relaxing stay,” said Vice President Eric Lent in prepared remarks.

The 212-key Holiday Inn Houston Downtown is located in the city’s urban core near Houston’s Metrorail and in close proximity to major local attractions. Hotel amenities include a business center, outdoor pool, free internet and fitness center.
