Hilton Houston Post Oak Completes Guestroom Phase of Multi-Million Dollar Renovation
HOUSTON, TX. September 14, 2016 - Hilton Houston Post Oak, a 448-room hotel in the heart of Houston's Galleria area, has a new look of comfort and ease after a multi-million dollar renovation project featuring freshly designed room accommodations, stunning glass atrium lobby, welcoming front desk and tasteful culinary outlets. Hotel guest rooms have been completed and provide an enriched and comforting experience for guests.
“Our enrichments will further set us apart from our competition, solidifying Hilton Houston Post Oak as the premiere hotel choice for guests seeking an exceptional visit to Houston,” stated Jay Campbell, general manager. “We are excited to share our new look with our customers as we had their comfort and ease in mind when designing this project.”
These latest improvements to the guest rooms include a modern bathroom featuring new marble floors and glass shower stalls replacing the tub in most rooms. The renovation of the guest rooms included a fresh color palette on the walls, new marble entrance, new drapery and an upgraded bedding package. Advanced technology features were also added during this modernization phase and include new digital key lock system for guest rooms that allows Hilton HHonors members thru the Hilton app to check-in from anywhere, choose their own room in advance and use their phone as a digital key to unlock the door.
The process is easy. Within 24 hours of arrival, Hilton HHonors members who book direct through Hilton's channels can digitally check-in, choose their exact room from a digital floorplan and request a Digital Key through the HHonors app. Hilton Houston Post Oak will notify guests via the app as soon as their room is ready. HHonors members with previous stay history can then head straight to their room when they arrive, pressing the virtual “unlock” button on the app when they're within five feet of their door.
“Many of our loyal HHonors members are business travelers who are incredibly tech-savvy,” said Campbell. “We're thrilled our hotel is able to offer them this cutting edge Digital Key technology and give them an easier, more convenient stay.”
The design team carefully considered the hotel's original contemporary architecture created by world renowned architect I. M. Pei. Timelessness, transitional styling, and flexibility were in forefront of the interior design concepts. In addition to guestrooms, renovations for the Hilton Post Oak included upgrades and enhancements to the fitness center and pool deck with new equipment and furniture to provide guests with everything they need for a great work out or a place to lounge in the sun.
The newly renovated Hilton Houston Post Oak is located in the center of the Uptown Houston business district, just one block from the Galleria Mall. Only 30 minutes from both the George Bush Intercontinental and Houston Hobby Airports, the Hilton is an ideal for both business and leisure travelers. The hotel's spacious and well-appointed contemporary guest rooms feature private balconies with great views of the Houston skyline. Further enhancements to the property, expected to be completed by end of this year, include the hotel's 10,360 sq foot Grand Ballroom, over 28,000 sq feet of flexible meeting space, the hotel's Executive Level Lounge and Presidential/Hospitality Suites.
Guests can enjoy shopping and fine dining at the Galleria and Uptown Park, two of the most luxurious retail destinations in Texas. NRG Stadium, Minute Maid Park, Toyota Center, Memorial Park, and the Museum District are also nearby.
