HOUSTON
Houston Airport Marriott at George Bush Intercontinental announced the soon-to-be completion of the first phase of a multimillion-dollar renovation of their 573-room hotel.
The hotel's location in Houston's major international airport makes it a popular destination for business travelers. Both South and North Tower guestrooms and meeting rooms are undergoing total renovation, with South Tower scheduled for completion in May 2015. The upgrades of North Tower rooms and public areas are scheduled for completion by fall of 2015.
The guest room upgrades introduce an updated soft-contemporary design with streamlined case goods, enhanced lighting, luxury linens and transitionally styled carpet and window coverings. The new case goods package gives the rooms a more spacious look and feel. The custom-designed headboards incorporate the latest technological conveniences with task lighting, electric outlets and USB capabilities. High-speed wireless Internet access and 47-inch LCD TVs are room standard with the renovation. Bathrooms are completely redone with new plumbing fixtures; stone counters, larger mirrors, enhanced lighting and sliding barn door-style doors were added to increase floor space in the dressing area.
The 34 meeting rooms of the premier airport hotel, featuring 30,000 square feet of total meeting space, will also be updated with new furnishings, carpet and wall covering and will feature the latest in technology. Meeting room and event spaces will be outfitted with premium audiovisual systems to provide every convenience for groups, large and small. Exceptional catering, Professional Meeting Planners and Marriott Certified Wedding Planners are available on-site.
The hallmark of the new lobby design is a Texas sized Great Room - a large welcoming expanse with multiple seating areas creating a series of living areas for guests to greet, meet and relax.
