THE WOODLANDS, Texas
The Woodlands Resort & Conference Center has begun a $60-million expansion and renovation, an 18-month project that will add a new guest room wing, lazy river and restaurant while updating the property’s 60,000-square-foot conference center.
The resort and conference center is located in The Woodlands, Texas, at 2301 North Millbend Drive.
The resort will introduce a third Fairway Pines building with 184 new guest rooms and suites with views of the property’s Panther Trail™ golf course, in addition to the transformation of its existing Fairway Pines guest rooms.
The new design and interiors of the resort featuring contemporary Texas architecture with strong elements of stone, steel and wood are being conceptualized by the Dallas-based interior design firm Jim Looney & Associates and the architectural firm Gensler of Houston. Transparency, warmth of materials and a connectedness to the landscape create a relaxing respite for both weekend getaways and productive business meetings.
Among other new amenities being developed for both business and leisure guests is a 140-seat steak house with views of the 18th hole, a private wine vault and outdoor patio.
In addition, a new signature lazy river will wind 1,000 feet through the surrounding forest highlighting the property’s Forest Oasis Waterscape™ where guests enjoy a lagoon-style pool, a two-story waterslide tower, flowing waterfalls and Puffy’s Spraygroud™, a synchronized water experience complete with computer-activated waterspouts and fountains themed after The Woodlands’ mascot, Puffy Pine Cone. The poolside Cool Water Café, serving burgers, sandwiches, salads and flavorful drinks, complete the experience.
As part of the property’s transformation, enhancements will provide guests with a modern spa experience with more of everything to offer – from spa services and products to a more relaxing environment to rejuvenate.
