Where to Stay When Visiting Occidental Petroleum (Houston)
Occidental Petroleum's headquarters is in Houston's Greenway Plaza area, not downtown. Book near the campus, not the skyline — the hotels that matter are right there.
Occidental Petroleum (Oxy) is an international oil and gas exploration and production company, headquartered at 5 Greenway Plaza. That's Greenway Plaza, a self-contained office park inside the loop — with a hotel in the development itself, so the commute can be a walk.
“Occidental sits inside Greenway Plaza. Book the DoubleTree in the same development and the commute is an elevator and a crosswalk.”— Rachel Julian, Founder & Editor-in-Chief
