DIRECTIONS FROM AIRPORTS
The Houston/Galveston area is serviced by two major airports: Hobby Airport (HOU) and George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH). The workshop hotels do not provide shuttle service to/from the airports although shuttles and taxis are available at both airports. HRP IWS does not endorse the companies below; these are merely suggestions of some available transportation options. Uber and Lyft are available from both airports at a significantly cheaper rate.
There will be shuttles running daily from the San Luis and Holiday Inn hotels to the workshop. The Hilton is next door to the Galveston Island Convention Center and is within walking distance.
