Where to Stay When Visiting NOV (Houston)
NOV's headquarters is in Houston's Westchase district area, not downtown. Book near the campus, not the skyline — the hotels that matter are right there.
NOV Inc. is a manufacturer of equipment and technology for the oil and gas industry, headquartered at 10353 Richmond Ave. That's Westchase, a west-side business district off Beltway 8 — closer to the Galleria than to downtown, and best served by hotels right in the district.
“NOV's on Richmond in Westchase. Book nearby off the Beltway; the Galleria's a short hop when you need a nicer room or a client dinner.”— Rachel Julian, Founder & Editor-in-Chief
Which airport — and how far?
William P. Hobby (HOU) ~25 minutes and George Bush Intercontinental (IAH) ~30–35 minutes are both a fair drive — IAH for connections, Hobby for a shorter southeast hop.
