Get ready to experience all the excitement of IMAGE 2023, the premier international geosciences meeting, in style! With Lodgeur’s Mid Main Lofts as your home base, you’ll enjoy a hassle-free, vacation-like stay in Midtown Houston, one of the city’s most vibrant and walkable neighborhoods.
This year’s edition of the the International Meeting for Applied Geoscience & Energy is taking place on just before Labor Day weekend, from August 28, 2023 through September 1, 2023.
More than 6,000 geoscientists travel from to the George R. Brown Convention Center from 80+ countries to attend more than 1,500 Geoscience and Energy Technical Presentations, Interactive Pitches and Panels, Short Courses, Field Trips, and Post-convention Workshops and much more. With programs offering development of in-demand skills, opportunities for discovering solutions, and building the future of geoscience technologies, IMAGE attracts repeat visitors year after year.
Registration details for the largest gathering of petroleum geologists and earth scientists are available directly on IMAGE 2023’s website, along with a full events calendar. Prices range from $125 for Exhibition Only passes to check out the latest technologies and jobs all the way up to $1,375 for last-minute Full-Convention rates to take part in the education, research and networking programs with geoscientists from a wide range of industries.
The hotels closest to the action (Hilton Americas-Houston, Marriott Marquis-Downtown and Hampton Downtown) tend to fill up quickly. Parking can run as high as $50 per night at hotels near the GRB.
Midtown is a destination of its own, known for its local arts and culture scene. If you’re looking to go beyond the typical hotel search and experience a new kind of lodging, be sure to check out Lodgeur in Midtown. Lodgeur is Midtown’s largest provider of short term rentals.
With Lodgeur, you can book a furnished apartment like you would book a hotel. Lodgeur has lower nightly rates, complimentary parking and plenty of reasonably-priced restaurants on site.
Each property is designed to give you more space and privacy than a typical hotel, without sacrificing the convenience of a central location.
Here is what you can expect from your luxury accommodations with Lodgeur:
If you’re driving to Houston, skip the $50 nightly parking fees charged by nearby hotels. While there is no valet parking, Lodgeur offers free parking in the attached parking garage. There is also a dedicated pickup spot for Uber and Lyft rides. (Your average nightly price is always lower with Lodgeur’s complimentary parking!)
Don’t miss a thing. Instead of wasting time searching for parking, you can hop on the light rail to zip downtown past the traffic.
Lodgeur at Mid Main Lofts in Midtown is located directly on the METRORail Red Line to downtown Houston, including The George R. Brown Convention Center. No connection needed. One-way tickets cost $1.25.
You can use the Red Line of the METRORail to visit nearby attractions like the Houston Zoo, Downtown Aquarium, or Houston’s many great museums and special attractions.
Check out our blog post about using the METRORail to get around the city without a car. You won’t need a car after that Uber ride from the airport.
If you’re planning a trip to Houston, location matters! The Midtown neighborhood is Houston’s most walkable location (WalkScore of 91!), so you can easily explore all that the city has to offer at the best price. And the distance to downtown? Just 1 mile.
You won’t need to eat breakfast at the same place twice with Midtown’s huge choice of restaurants. While you won’t be able to order a soggy burger from room service or get free breakfast, Home Slice Pizza is right next door and has a takeaway window serving up the city’s best pizza. You’ll be able to order a great breakfast downstairs at The Brass Tap. For an authentic Houston experience, order the traditional or viet-cajun crawfish at Winnie’s.
You’ll find several places to eat or drink downstairs and next door, but you can walk to dozens more locations. Midtown’s affordable restaurants beat any special offers or discounts you’ll find downtown.
You can skip waiting in line for the hotel staff at the front desk to help you check in (during the busiest events of the year for Houston hotels). Instead of having a front desk, Lodgeur offers 24/7 remote check in. The leasing office at Mid Main Lofts provides luggage storage for Lodgeur guests. All Lodgeur units are non-smoking rooms.
