Where to Stay When Visiting NOV (Houston)

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

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.

Direct answer: Visiting NOV Inc.'s Houston HQ (10353 Richmond Ave): stay in the Westchase district area near the campus, not downtown. Stay in the Westchase district off Beltway 8, near NOV. The hotels here are mostly reliable select-service; if the trip needs a nicer room or a client-worthy dinner, the Galleria is a 15-minute drive east. 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.

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.
