Best Hotels near University of Texas Health Science Center--Houston

ZaZa hotels have a bit of an eclectic reputation, and the Houston Museum District branch is no different. For instance, animal-print chairs accompany crystal chandeliers, and bold-patterned carpets offset one-of-a-kind artwork. But somehow it all comes together. Guests describe Hotel ZaZa's ambiance as memorable, and they praise the trendy-yet-comfortable guest rooms (stocked with private bars, complimentary internet access, rainfall showers and Gilchrist & Soames bath products). If you can afford it, splurge on a "concept" suite. The themed decor in these spacious digs really showcases Hotel ZaZa Houston's attention to detail. Travelers also praise the property's facilities, especially the poolside lounge where you can kick back and nurse cocktails all afternoon. Or, you can find your bout of R&R in ZaSpa before digging in to a gourmet meal at Monarch. And should you find yourself going slightly stir-crazy, Houston's Museum District is just steps away.

Many say DoubleTree by Hilton Houston - Greenway Plaza is a good choice for both business travelers and sightseers given its affordable rates and convenient location around 6 miles southwest of downtown Houston. Still, some say that while the hotel is adequate, it doesn't afford the same charm that some of Houston's other properties offer. The guest rooms are fairly typical of a DoubleTree hotel, with gold and blue decorative accents, large beds and high-speed internet access (for a fee). The property also boasts a nice lobby bar to enjoy an après-work drink, a well-equipped fitness center to burn off some stress and an outdoor pool to kick back and soak up the rays. And at the end of the day, you can sit down to a tasty meal at Rocks @ Greenway Bar. Plus, this hotel participates in the Hilton Honors rewards program.

Even though it's a hop, skip and a jump away from a number of medical facilities, this Marriott is not just for those visiting a doctor. The hotel is about a 2-mile drive from many of Houston's most popular attractions, and it's also located nearby a light rail stop. Guests love the location, and they appreciate the Houston Marriott Medical Center's climate-controlled skyway to Methodist Hospital. Visitors also praise the accommodations that feature standard Marriott amenities, like flat-screen TVs and minifridges. Other property perks include an indoor pool and a fitness center. And in terms of eats, Driscoll's and the Paladora Lounge both serve up hearty plates of casual American fare, while an on-site Starbucks is convenient for those in need of a morning pick-me-up. While some recent guests found the property underwhelming, they commended the hospitable staff for making their visit memorable. And because this is a Marriott property, costs can be covered by rewards from the brand's loyalty program.
