Top hotels in Greater Third Ward
DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel & Suites Houston by the Galleria
Room was clean but could use some upgrades. Bed wasn't as comfortable as expected. Balcony view was nice but its only for show. Staff was helpful but we didn't have any issues to concern them with.

Blossom Hotel Houston, Curio Collection by Hilton
Overall nice hotel, a little too far from everything for us. If there were things to do nearby the hotel staff didn't make a big effort to inform us at check in. The staff at the rooftop bar was nice.
