Get ready to experience all the excitement of the International Dairy Deli Bakery Association convention in 2024, 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. Lodgeur has hosted more than 8,000 guests and is the largest hotelier in Midtown.
The International Dairy Deli Bakery Association (IDDBA) is a nonprofit trade association hosting their annual convention from June 9-11, 2024 at the George R. Brown Convention Center. As the largest industry only show for foodservice industries, it attracts dairy, deli, bakery industry leaders, food retailers, serious buyers, and exhibiting companies.
Make the most of your conference experience by staying at Lodgeur’s Mid Main Lofts in Midtown Houston. Our luxury lofts offer a comfortable and stylish stay just minutes away from the George R. Brown Convention Center. With a whole apartment to yourself, you will have plenty of room to stash all the corporate swag you picked up in the exhibitor hall.
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 event 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 abundance of walkable restaurants and nightlife. 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.
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 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 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 on the ground floor of the building. All Lodgeur units are non-smoking rooms.
