Visitor Information

Local Accommodations

Caring for a loved one takes a toll emotionally and physically and often turns the lives of families upside down. For families of out-of-town patients, the situation is compounded by worries over where to stay during the long process of rehabilitation.

Many hotel, motels and campgrounds are located near the Texas Medical Center, and several offer special discounts for patients and visitors. The Social Work Department at Memorial Hermann|TIRR has compiled a list of local hotel and motel accommodations that we make available to patients, family members and friends.

Many of these have wheelchair accessible rooms. Most major hotels within the vicinity also offer shuttles that operate frequently and can assist with transportation to and from the hospital. Please call 713-797-5201 for more information.

Memorial Hermann|TIRR does not approve or recommend housing or make any representation of the various accommodations being in compliance with federal, state or local subdivision regulations or deed restriction.
