*** Downtown hotel with rooftop pool and SCAD art gallery

Art & Architecture

The Whitehall Houston houses an in-house gallery showcasing original works from Savannah College of Art and Design artists. This collaboration with SCAD brings rotating exhibits to the hotel lobby and public spaces. The building itself is a 1960s revival landmark in Houston's Central Business District.

Dining & Drinks

Three on-site restaurants include Edgar's Hermano for Mexican-inspired dishes, Buffalo Bayou Coffee for breakfast and pastries, and Part & Parcel for outdoor cocktails and bar food. All restaurants use local ingredients with creative twists. The rooftop pool area offers shaded cabanas and outdoor dining during warmer months.

Recreation & Relaxation

The rooftop pool is open year-round and surrounded by lounge chairs and private cabanas. A 24-hour fitness center provides cardio machines and free weights. The sun terrace on the roof gives city views of downtown Houston.

Business & Events

The hotel offers 12,000 square feet of event space that can accommodate up to 500 guests. Nine meeting rooms have A/V services and flexible layouts for conferences and social events. A business center with high-speed internet and free printing is available for guests.

Location & Transportation

The Whitehall is located 1.1 km from Toyota Center and within a 10-minute drive of Minute Maid Park and George R. Brown Convention Center. A complimentary shuttle serves the immediate Downtown and Midtown areas. William P. Hobby Airport is 16 km away, and NRG Stadium is 8.5 km from the hotel.
