Back to top The Official Hotel for Lindyfest!All Lindyfest dances Thursday through Sunday night will be held at the Sheraton Brookhollow, and HSDS has secured a great hotel rate of only $79/night.
We have had an overwhelming success booking our room block! Because of this, reservations for the Lindyfest room block can only be made by phone at (713) 688-0100. Our room block will be honored until the Lindyfest weekend or until they sell out of rooms. So don't wait too long, book now!
As an extra bonus for staying at the hotel, we'll be offering a shuttle service between the hotel and workshop location at the JCC.
Be where the party's at all weekend long and reserve your room today! Back to top Saturday Evening Performance We've got a great performance scheduled for you this year at the Saturday evening dance!

Back to top Getting to Houston Houston has two ariports that carry all the major airlines, the George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH) and the William P. Hobby Airport (Hou). IAH is the hub for Continental Airlines and offer services to many major cities. Southwest Airlines predominantly serves the Hobby Airport. Both airports are a short drive into town with Hobby being the closer, yet smaller airport. IAH is located ~20 miles North of town on US-59, and Hobby is East of town on I-45S.
In case you need some help getting to the hotel from the airport here's some useful information.
The Houston Metro has introduced a new direct shuttle service into downtown Houston departing every 30 minutes for only $15 each way.
You can also schedule your ride through SuperShuttle and they will pick you up at either airport and deliver you to the Sheraton Brookhollow for ~$19 from Hobby and ~$21 from IAH.
Taxi rides to the hotel are ~$45-60 depending on the airport and final destination. Also, check out Houston's local discussion forum is a great place to coordinate these rides.
