Every session, reception, and cohort gathering is just an elevator ride away.
Your Home Base in Houston
Take a look at where you'll learn, connect, and unwind. The Summit hotel puts you steps from the sessions, with plenty of Houston to explore when the day is done.
Getting to Houston Is Easy
Whether you're flying in, driving, or getting around the city once you arrive, here's what you need to know to get to AI+IM Global Summit without the guesswork.
Fly into William P. Hobby Airport (HOU), about 16.6 miles from the hotel, or George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH), about 26.6 miles away. The hotel doesn't offer an airport shuttle, so plan on a rideshare, taxi, or rental car.
Driving to the Summit? Self-parking at the hotel is currently $37 per day, and valet parking starts at $56 per day. Rates are set by the hotel and may change, so confirm current pricing before you arrive.
The hotel sits in Uptown, right next to The Galleria, and offers complimentary house car rides within two miles. For trips to downtown, the Museum District, or evening events, rideshare is the easiest option.
Make Time for Houston
Houston is the fourth-largest city in the U.S., with world-class museums, one of the country's most diverse food scenes, and a space program that made history. Make time to explore.
