HOUSTON — Things are looking up for big in-person events in Houston.
A single convention has already booked thousands of hotel rooms. It’s a huge turnaround after a year of shutdowns and virtual-only events.
"It’s been a hard impact for a lot of the hotels in the downtown area,” said Aerial Washington with Hyatt Place downtown.
It recently opened in the converted Southwestern Bell building where they hope to connect with a lot of new guests via a host of upcoming conventions.
