Get ready to experience all the excitement of the 2024 Annual Meeting of the AABB, 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.

The American Association of Blood Banks and Biotherapies (AABB) Annual Meeting gathers the blood community focused on transfusion medicine and biotherapies. This year’s event takes place October 19-22, 2024 at the George R. Brown Convention Center.
AABB provides comprehensive educational programming allowing members to earn continuing education credits. The meeting covers innovations in blood banking, transfusion services, patient blood management and more.
The AABB membership includes physicians, medical technologists, hospital staff and personnel from AABB-accredited blood banks and institutions involved in donor and patient care.
The annual meeting enables sharing of best practices and the latest research advancing theFields of blood banking and biotherapies. Attendees can explore new technologies optimizing patient care and improving health outcomes.
Make the most of this leading technology conference by staying at Lodgeur’s Mid Main Lofts in Midtown Houston. Our luxury lofts are just minutes from the George R. Brown Convention Center, offering both depth and breadth through full apartments with living rooms, kitchens and more.
Pro tip: if you want to set up a workspace with a monitor and whiteboard, book one of our Digital Nomad Suites which includes a flex space.
The hotels closest to the GRB Convention Center tend to fill up quickly during major events. Downtown parking fees can also be quite high.
Midtown is a destination of its own, known for its abundance of walkable restaurants and coffee shops. If you’re looking to go beyond the typical chain hotel search and experience a new kind of lodging, be sure to check out Lodgeur in Midtown. Lodgeur is Midtown’s largest hotelier.
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. Home Slice Pizza is next door and open until 11pm.
Each property is designed to give you more space and privacy than a typical hotel, without sacrificing the convenience of a central location.
Each Lodgeur unit provides residential comforts like:
Our website rates are the best available – guaranteed.
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 right past the traffic.
Lodgeur at Mid Main Lofts in Midtown is located directly on the METRORail Red Line, providing easy access to 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 the downtown? Just a mile or 2 light rail stops away.
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 Daley Sports Club. For an authentic Houston experience, order the toasted sandwiches 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 at the Expos.
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 on the ground floor of the building. All Lodgeur units are non-smoking rooms.
For less than the cost of staying at the GRB Center, you can spend your visit to Houston in a spacious apartment equipped with all the amenities and services you need for an unforgettable stay. Browse 3D virtual tours and floor plans to preview our upscale apartment homes and shared amenity spaces.
This must-attend conference occurs during the busy conference season, so secure your Midtown accommodations well in advance. Our guests value the resort-style experience combined with hotel conveniences.
