Hilton Americas-Houston Celebrates a 'Tensational' Anniversary
Luxury Convention Center Hotel Marks 10 Years of Service with Community Recognition, Special Promotions and a VIP Party
HOUSTON - March 13, 2014 - Hilton Americas-Houston is commemorating 10 years of exceptional service with special 'TENSATIONAL' Anniversary celebrations that include discounts on room stays, spa and health club services, food and drinks and more. The celebration culminates in a VIP party on April 2.
Hilton Americas-Houston is the largest hotel in Houston, with 1,200 guestrooms and 91,500 square feet of meeting space. Since opening its doors in December 2003, the hotel has helped establish Houston as a top convention and large event destination, attracting major events including Super Bowl XXXVIII, NBA All-Star games, Latin Grammy Awards and the Microsoft Worldwide Partner Conference. The hotel's development anchored the city's downtown revitalization efforts, specifically on the east side, and has contributed to the city's growing economy.
The theme “TENSATIONAL” encompasses the hotel's first decade of operations and the superior hospitality and quality Hilton Americas-Houston's guests came to expect. Following the $11 million renovation in 2011, the hotel is as luxurious as the day it opened and features technologically advanced meeting space. It has maintained its AAA Four Diamond rating since 2003 and has received countless awards, including 2013 Best Business Hotel from Travel+Leisure magazine and 2013 Zagat Award for Quality Hotels.
As part of the celebration, Hilton Americas-Houston will recognize the great work of community non-profit organizations via an essay competition. The winning organization will receive a TENSATIONAL Community Package valued at $10,000, including meeting room for 10 months, 10 hotel stays, complimentary meals, spa certificates, free parking and more that will assist a deserving organization with operational expenses, fundraising and help recognize its staff and volunteers.
The hotel also will award a $10,000 'TENSATIONAL' Scholarship to the University of Houston Conrad N. Hilton College of Hotel and Restaurant Management student.
Hilton Americas-Houston also is offering special 'TENSATIONAL' promotions including a weekend package offering a $110/night room rate, commemorative gift upon arrival, complimentary 'TENtinis' (martinis) in the Lobby Bar, $10 off breakfast coupon, $10 Spa Buck gift certificate and $10 self-parking.
