Where to Stay When Visiting Group 1 Automotive (Houston)

By Rachel Julian, Editor-in-Chief · · 5 min read

Group 1 Automotive's headquarters is in Houston's CityCentre / Memorial City area, not downtown. Book near the campus, not the skyline — the hotels that matter are right there.

Direct answer: Visiting Group 1 Automotive's Houston HQ (730 Town & Country Blvd): stay in the CityCentre / Memorial City area near the campus, not downtown. Stay at CityCentre / Memorial City, next to Group 1 Automotive — it's one of Houston's few walkable districts, so hotel, dinner, and office can all be within a few blocks. Downtown is 15 miles east for no reason. Both airports run about 25–30 minutes from west Houston — IAH (north, more connections) or Hobby (southeast).
