- 2Use the Polk Street plaza doors; the La Branch side is quieter at tipoff.
- 3Afterward, the Discovery Green side clears faster than the garage exits.
Frequently asked questions
Can you walk from the convention center hotels to Toyota Center?
Yes. The Hilton Americas and Marriott Marquis are eight to nine minutes away on flat, lit downtown sidewalk.
Is the Houston tunnel system usable for games?
No — the downtown tunnels close in the evening. Plan on the street-level walk, which is short and well lit.
Our walkable-only rule
Every hotel on this page has a continuous pedestrian route from an entrance visitors actually use at Toyota Center, measured through the surrounding streets rather than across the block. Anything beyond roughly a 15-minute walk, or separated by a highway, river or rail corridor with no crossing, is excluded — however close it looks on a map.
