Homewood Suites by Hilton Odessa

Each day begins with a complimentary hot breakfast — or enjoy the full kitchenette with microwave and refrigerator in every suite. (Write up a grocery list and the hotel will do the shopping for you at no charge!) For business needs, enjoy free fast Wi-Fi and host a successful business event for up to 80 people in the 648-square-foot meeting room. Unwind in front of the welcoming fireplace in the lobby before enjoying a complimentary evening social, available Monday through Thursday. Exercise at the sports court or fitness center (featuring an array of cardio equipment) and take a swim in the heated outdoor pool.

Whether you’re looking for culture, history or fun, Odessa fits the bill. Start with the Presidential Archives and Leadership Library on the campus of the University of Texas of Permian Basin — it boasts a collection of campaign memorabilia from presidents, vice presidents and first ladies. The Ellen Noel Art Museum features evolving exhibitions and is one of the few such museums in Texas granted status as an official Smithsonian affiliate. When you’re ready to practice your swing, hit the links at the 125-acre Ratliff Ranch Golf Links, also in town.
