Known as the city's new epicenter of dining, entertainment, and more, Avenida Houston is quickly becoming an integral part of meetings and conventions in the Greater Houston area. Named after Avenida de las Americas, the boulevard that fronts the George R. Brown Convention Center (GRB), the 97,000-square-foot Avenida Houston is home to public art installations, two convention headquarter hotels, and Discovery Green, a 12-acre park.
