Hotels near Houston Arboretum and Nature Center

General Info

The Houston Arboretum and Nature Center are built on the former grounds of Camp Logan, an army World War I training camp. In 1924, the military deeded the land to the city of Houston with the idea that it would be set aside and developed into a park to honor the memory of the fallen soldiers of the first World War. In 1951, 265 acres of land was set aside as an arboretum, natural reservation, and botanical garden. Roads and people have since reduced the size of the reservation, but it still stands at an impressive 155 acres of lush plant and forest life.

In the late 1960's the first building was erected within the park, called the Nature Center Building. This 155 acre plot of land is a historical landmark and draws thousands of visitors from all over the nation each year. In recent years, there have been restorations and additions to the buildings within the reserve that allowed for more numerous and shifting Discovery Room exhibits. Located near the Buffalo Bayou area of Houston and also close to many museums and art galleries, it is well situated and has many hotels and amenities available to make your trip easy and enjoyable.
