welcome to the

CHIFLEY HOTEL

Welcome to the Chifley Hotel.

We’re the Maverick. We are Independent. We spend our time and money on what matters to us. We’re okay being the life of the party as well as a party of on e. While we might be the new player in town, we’ll always have that attitude and drive. Texas doesn’t need bigger but it always needs better.

Reflective of Houston itself, the Chifley delivers an experience built by forging our own path in everything we do. We celebrate the independence of Texas and from Texas we ’re ahead of the curve and we relish breaking stereotypes. As a hotel, we embrace the future of Houston.

WE ARE PROUD TO BE PART OF YOUR STORY.
