Hilton Americas-Houston Maintains Its Anchor Hold Downtown with Completion of $54 Million Guestroom and Meeting Space Renovation
Hilton Americas-Houston is placing the finishing touches on a $54 million hotel transformation project, designed with today’s multi-tasking traveler in mind and with guest safety as its highest priority.
Functionality, accessibility and comfort were focal points of the new contemporary design highlighted by premium in-room amenities including additional power and USB ports, 65” 4K ultra high-resolution Samsung TVs, multifunctional furniture, wall murals created by local artists, updated restrooms with walk-in showers and sliding barn doors, and more.
“We took the opportunity during this down time to continue and move forward without interruption to complete our renovation, said General Manager Jacques D’Rovencourt. As the flagship hotel in the downtown area, we look forward to welcoming back guests and group attendees to a new and improved hotel.”
As part of the guest room improvements, the hotel team and designers wanted to be sure that Houston was well represented. Along with the guidance and expertise of art consultants, art creations from eleven local artists with diverse mediums from photography, painting and collage, were selected, to enhance guestrooms with vibrancy and local flavor.
“It was important for us to include the various shapes, forms and artistry of this colourful city and what better way than through art,” D’Rovencourt continued.
In addition to guestrooms, the hotel’s 91,500 square feet of meeting space has been revamped to create event experiences that are clean, safe, flexible and socially responsible incorporating Hilton EventReady with Hilton CleanStay.
New, eye-catching carpet lines the multifunctional space, updated wall coverings add a warm touch to any event and sleek furnishings tie in the modern design.
Capable of holding large numbers of people with social distancing enforced, Hilton Americas-Houston’s flexible meeting space opens the door for weddings, galas, luncheons, fundraisers, celebrations and many other meeting and event possibilities both during and post COVID-19.
Hilton Americas-Houston is proud to be a part of Hilton CleanStay, Hilton’s new industry defining standard of cleanliness and disinfection. Hilton CleanStay builds upon the already high standards of housekeeping and hygiene at Hilton Americas-Houston and a focus on cleanliness is visible to guests throughout their entire stay experience-guest rooms, restaurants, fitness rooms and other public spaces.
Hilton Americas-Houston is located within Avenida Houston and shares the campus with Discovery Green, a 12-acre urban park, and is directly connected to George R. Brown Convention Center.
The hotel contains the city’s largest number of guest rooms, ballrooms, hotel meeting space, and the most technologically advanced services available under one roof. This AAA Four Diamond rated hotel boasts 1,207 elegantly appointed guestrooms, 91,500 square feet of flexible meeting & event space, a fitness center and a 75-foot infinity indoor pool.
