GALVESTON, Texas
The 16-story San Luis Resort, Spa & Conference Center is renovating and renewing its interiors to complement its sweeping views of the Gulf of Mexico. Complete with new lighting, carpet, wall coverings and furnishings, the new look embraces neutrals and warmer tones mixed with brown, gold and mossy green accents with a touch of deep purple.
Two on-staff artists have created original and custom pieces to adorn the walls paired with sepia, historical photography featuring Galveston landmarks and events including the original Electric Park, Ft. Crockett, the Bunker and the old Balinese Room. “The art is integral to putting the space together,” said Croley.
The first updates to be unveiled are in the property’s Conference Center located on the first and second floors of the hotel. Retaining its IACC approval status, the Conference Center is now furnished with more than 200 Herman Miller Setu chairs and flip-top training tables.
The Conference Center’s new look and palette sets the tone for other areas slated for an upgrade, as the look will be seen in other areas throughout the lobby, promenade, the conferee lounge, the concierge desk, The Café, the grand ballroom and eventually the spa in 2014.
Guest rooms throughout the hotel are enjoying an update as well with 90 rooms already refinished with new bathrooms to match newly installed green and brown schemes. Concierge Floors (15 and 16), known for a light continental breakfast, afternoon fruits, sweets and water in the common areas, are also underway with partial upgrades to coordinate with the new décor. Remaining rooms that are currently outfitted with the cinnamon palette are slated for new interiors in 2014.
Club 10 will remain the same with a dazzling array of chic offerings, services and exclusive VIP amenities such as butlered breakfast service in its 21 rooms and featuring custom designed furniture and fixtures for a sleek and stylish residential environment.
The 16-story San Luis Resort, Spa & Conference Center offers 250 guestrooms and a 40,000-square-foot IACC conference center with views of the Gulf of Mexico. Guests may partake in an array of indulgences including Spa San Luis, the tropical heated pool with swim-up bar, grotto spa and hot tub; the Steakhouse restaurant and neighboring designer boutique or the nightlife of H2o pool + bar featuring signature al fresco sushi, grapes by the glass and thirst-quenching martinis.
