. November 25, 2015

HOUSTON, TX. November 25, 2015 - Houston Airport Marriott at George Bush Intercontinental is near completion of the dramatic multimillion-dollar renovation of their 573-room hotel. The property-wide renovation includes extensive transformations to the hotel's exterior, guest rooms, suites, meeting rooms, lobby, restaurants, public areas and fitness center. All areas have been reimagined with an updated, transitional style that focuses on improving the overall guest experience and brings the hotel to the forefront of the current Marriott brand design and programming vision.

The hotel's premier location in Houston's major international airport deems it a high-demand destination for business travelers, families and individuals. Just minutes from all airline gates, it is the only hotel at the airport offering convenient and complimentary transportation to and from each terminal via a connected underground tram. George Bush Intercontinental Airport is the 12th busiest for total passengers in North America and the largest passenger-carrying hub for United Airlines.

As guests arrive, they will enjoy a noticeably new and enhanced front entrance, registration and lobby experience. Designed with an on-the-go traveler in mind and due to be complete in late 2015, the renovated guest rooms display a polished and inviting look introducing an updated soft-contemporary design with streamlined case goods, decorative lighting, luxury linens, transitionally styled artwork, carpet and window coverings. 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 standard room amenities. Bathrooms have been designed to showcase modern fixtures and decor while providing increased dressing area space. New stand-up tile showers with sleek, transparent glass doors have replaced the tub/shower combos.

To better serve business guests and meeting hosts, the 34 meeting rooms featuring 30,000 square feet of total meeting space showcase new furnishings, carpet, wall coverings and the latest in technology. Meeting room and celebration spaces are outfitted with premium audio/visual systems to provide every convenience for groups both large and small. Exceptional catering, Professional Meeting Planners and Marriott Certified Wedding Planners are available on-site.

"We've updated and reconfigured every area of the hotel to present a brand new look and provide the highest service and best experience possible whether you are joining us for business or with your family," said Scot Cotton, general manager of Houston Airport Marriott. "The refreshed spaces and modernized guest and meeting rooms offer our guests the latest contemporary comforts during their stay."
