USA, Miami, Florida. November 29, 2018

Driftwood Hospitality Management (DHM), a North Palm Beach-based hotel management company, today announced its purchase of the 480-room Hilton Houston North and 390-room Marriott Houston North. All rooms and public space will be renovated at the Hilton the atrium lobby, and the food and beverage and arrival areas will be reimagined. The Marriott Houston North will go through a complete renovation as well. Both properties will be taking on these renovations under the management of DHM.

“Driftwood Hospitality Management has grown tremendously in the past couple years, and we are eager to expand our footprint across the state of Texas,” said David Buddemeyer, president of Driftwood Hospitality Management. “Houston is a primary market that's constantly evolving, and we're excited to see what this fast-paced culture will add to our portfolio.”

Hilton Houston North The 480-room, upscale full-service Hilton Houston North complex is comprised of two major components. A massive 40,000-square-foot atrium features the hotel's lobby, a Starbucks®, Vino bar, The Cafe restaurant, a business center and gift shop - all connected to 52,000 square-feet of meeting space. A 15-story, 183-foot tall hotel tower includes all guestrooms, an outdoor pool, 23 flexible function rooms, a state-of-the-art fitness center, full-service concierge, and local transportation desk.

The property is located within CityNorth, the leading business and retail campus in North Houston. Purchased by Lincoln Property Company, CityNorth comprises six architecturally distinct buildings with more than two million square feet of office and retail space combined. Plans are in place to spend $100 million on renovations and upgrades, enhancing CityNorth's reputation as the most desirable business location in Houston.

Both of these additions to Driftwood's expanding hotel and resort portfolio are positioned in the heart of the “Energy Capital of the World”.
