4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in Houston

  1. Book for the cheapest times: The most affordable time to visit Houston is during January, November, and December, when hotel prices tend to be lower. For a budget-friendly trip, a stay of at least 2 to 3 days is recommended to fully appreciate the city's significant landmarks and cultural offerings. Visitors can explore the vibrant theatre scene, enjoy live music events, experience local sports, and immerse themselves in the dynamic art and shopping districts. With a thoughtful itinerary, exploring Houston's rich history and urban attractions could provide great value for money.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To discover accommodation deals in Houston, visit the Deals or Last-Minute Deals sections on Hotels.com, where you may find discounted rates on hotels closer to your travel dates. Consider enabling email alerts or push notifications to stay informed about flash sales and special last-minute promotions, increasing your chances of securing affordable stays in Houston. Additionally, Smart Shopping is a useful comparison tool within the app that allows you to compare hotel prices and amenities, ensuring you're updated on any price drops or availability changes for your preferred hotels.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices may fluctuate based on factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year, so being flexible with your travel dates could help you save on your stay in a hotel in Houston. For those seeking distinctive accommodations, boutique hotels can provide a more personalised experience and, at times, better value. When you book through Hotels.com, we will inform you whether the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average. If the price is on the higher end, we may suggest more affordable dates to enhance your chances of securing the best deal.
  4. Consider your location: Hotels situated near the city centre generally tend to be more expensive, but with Houston's superb public transport links, you might discover a more affordable independent hotel further afield that remains well connected. For those keen to explore alternative, less crowded neighbourhoods or even lesser-known nearby towns, there is often excellent value for money to be found. Opting for these alternative destinations could provide a more authentic and budget-friendly experience.
