First of all I wish you all the best in the race! I hope you win it! Whats the horses name?

I live in Houston and have gone to SHRP several times. Avoid staying near the airport. Woodlands and Sugarland are great places to stay but if you want to stay in some of Houston best hotels (expensive) then Galleria area is the place for you.

There are great places to eat all over Houston but a high concentration of diverse foods is probably in the Rice Village near Rice University.

I hope you enjoy your stay!

Galleria is a nice area, but a bit heavy with traffic... My suggestion is to just stay in a nice hotel off 290 or by the airport which is only 20 minutes away.

I suggested the Hilton Garden Inn Northwest which is off of 249 and 1960. It's about ten minutes from SHRP and is rated well by TripAdvisor for the entire city.
