Where to Stay in Houston for the World Baseball Classic

March 2026 is Houston’s busiest season. The Astros Foundation College Classic kicks off baseball travel with non-stop college action, World Baseball Classic Pool B & quarterfinal games land at Daikin Park March 6–14, and the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo runs well into March with concerts, BBQ, livestock events, and carnival fun. This convergence means massive crowds — and equally massive demand for great stays.

When baseball fans search “where to stay for Houston baseball events” or “best lodging near Daikin Park,” they’re looking for comfort, convenience, and local flavor. Lodgeur’s fully furnished apartments are a step above cramped hotel rooms — with space to unwind after games and rodeo shows.

Lodgeur Midtown — Best for Car-Free Travel & Walkability

Lodgeur Midtown puts you right in one of Houston’s most walkable, happening neighborhoods — filled with restaurants, bars, coffee shops, and nightlife steps from your door. With free guest parking included, it’s still a smart choice if you arrive with a car; but when events are moving fast, not having to use it is a huge perk.

Midtown sits directly on the METRORail Red Line, meaning you can ride straight to downtown and connect toward Daikin Park, Toyota Center, NRG Park, the Museum District and more with ease. That makes Midtown ideal if you plan to manage your trip without a car. For more on riding Houston’s light rail like a local, check out our guide to using the METRORail.

Lodgeur Upper Kirby — Great for Driving or Uber/Rideshare

Lodgeur Upper Kirby is perfect if you’re planning to drive or use ride-hailing between baseball games, rodeo shows, and Houston’s hotspots. Roughly 6 miles southwest of downtown, Upper Kirby straddles key roadways for quick access to Daikin Park and NRG Park without the most intense central city traffic.
