The SPE Annual Technical Conference and Exhibition (ATCE) is the Society of Petroleum Engineers' flagship event, drawing 8,000+ petroleum engineers and energy professionals to Houston's convention facilities each October for the latest advances in reservoir engineering, drilling technology, and production optimisation. ATCE is the most technically rigorous petroleum engineering event in the calendar. Houston hotels throughout the city serve as comfortable bases for SPE ATCE delegates.
Our Picks — Houston
Uptown / Galleria area
Houston’s splashiest luxury address, The Post Oak pairs five-star service with over-the-top amenities, including multiple on-site restaurants and a full spa. It’s ideal if you want an indulgent stay near Uptown shopping and business hubs without sacrificing a resort-like feel.
Montrose / Museum District edge
A small, art-forward boutique hotel that feels more like a private residence than a big-city tower, with curated interiors and a strong food-and-drink focus. Stay here for a quieter, design-led experience close to Montrose nightlife and the Museum District.
Memorial City
A playful, scene-y hotel known for bold décor and a lively pool-deck vibe that works for weekend getaways as well as business trips. The Memorial City location is convenient for west-side offices, shopping, and quick freeway access.
Texas Medical Center / Near NRG
A sleek, modern boutique-leaning stay that’s especially convenient for the Texas Medical Center and events around NRG. The rooftop bar and polished public spaces give it an upscale feel without the full luxury price tag.
Downtown (near convention center & METRORail)
A stylish Downtown base with an elevated, contemporary look that’s well-suited to conventions, games, and nights out around Discovery Green. It’s a strong pick if you want walkable access to central Houston with a more boutique tone than the big conference hotels.
