HOUSTON, Texas - September 14, 2011 - Hilton Americas-Houston is adding the finishing touches and is near completion of the hotel's $11 million major renovation of guestrooms and meeting spaces, a project that began earlier this year.

Brown Convention Center via indoor skybridges, offers all new guestrooms, queen/queen rooms in addition to luxurious king rooms, an updated executive lounge, plus carpeting in guestroom corridors and meeting space.

“This renovation brings a sharp, crisp, modern and contemporary feel to our guestrooms, to match the excitement and luxury of our lobby and public spaces,” said Joe Palmieri, general manager. “The bright new look offers a great, refreshed product with top-of-the-line bedding and sheets plus a new color scheme. The remodeled guest bathrooms feature all-new curved shower curtain bars and modern shower heads, all chosen to enhance the comfort of our guests.”

Originally designed by architect Bernardo Fort-Brescia and opened in December 2003, Hilton Americas-Houston provides guests with the ultimate in comfort and functionality.

Cozy lighting and contemporary artwork add to the ambience of the room, with crisp white bedding and earth-tone carpeting and accessories completing the look. The renovated guest bathrooms feature granite countertops, new mirrors, curved shower curtain rods and water conserving, deluxe rain showerheads. The updated soft goods, drapes, sheers, light fixtures, chairs and lamps are joined by wall vinyl in baths and on headboard walls, plus carpeting in guestroom corridors.

Suites will be more luxurious than ever, each receiving a complete update including furnishings, carpeting and accessories. The Executive Lounge located on the 19th floor has new furnishings and fresh amenities including Apple computers with comfortable and functional places to meet and work.
