Work Meets Wanderlust
Bleisure travelers—those combining business and leisure—will find Texas an ideal destination. With major business hubs like Houston, Dallas, and Austin, as well as ample cultural and recreational activities, it’s easy to blend productive workdays with relaxing downtime.
Houston’s Energy Corridor and convention centers keep professionals connected, while after-hours activities abound with world-class dining, the Museum District, and scenic walks at Buffalo Bayou Park. After meetings, guests can dine at renowned spots like Brennan’s of Houston or enjoy rooftop cocktails at Z on 23.
In Dallas, business travelers can stay close to meetings in the downtown area and enjoy cultural attractions like the Dallas Arts District and Bishop Arts District. They can enjoy an upscale dining experience at Fearing’s Restaurant or grab bites at Truck Yard Dallas for a more casual vibe.
Austin is a top destination for conferences and tech events like SXSW. Travelers can balance work with outdoor recreation such as kayaking on Lady Bird Lake, catching live music on Rainey Street, or visiting local breweries like Zilker Brewing Company.
