HOUSTON, Texas – JW Marriott Houston by The Galleria recently unveiled the last multimillion-dollar renovation phase of the guest rooms, suites, and corridors to finalize the property’s complete transformation.
The enhancements join the refreshed meeting and public spaces, lobby, and executive lounge which were finished in 2019.
According to a press release, the revamped spaces reflect design choices by Parker-Torres Design representing Houston’s history and culture while creating transitions throughout the hotel’s interior. Attention was given to creating spaces that enhance the guest experience while also evoking a warm and welcoming environment, the press release states.
“JW Marriott Houston by The Galleria renovation incorporates thoughtful details that provide a mindful connection to the world around you while small-scale textures add interest and help create a relaxing, reflective environment,” says Kristen Emory, senior interior designer at Parker-Torres Design.
The re-imagination of the hotel adds new carpet, wallpaper, technology, lighting fixtures, furnishings, and locally curated art in the top-to-bottom makeover. Other notable changes in the guest rooms include new 55-in. televisions and upgraded bedding options from double beds to double queen beds.
“The renewed property showcases a design that captures expressions of Houston’s diverse history built on the ship channel, railway system, and oil and gas industry; the physical location of the hotel nestled between some of the city’s top neighborhoods; and the redefinition of the city’s traditional values into the rich culture and hub of innovation that it currently represents,” the press release states.
“We are absolutely thrilled to provide such a warm space to welcome guests. JW Marriott Houston by The Galleria stands at the crossroads of multiple important neighborhoods and we take our commitment to hospitality very seriously,” says Ramon Ventura-Guzmán, general manager. “The enhancements will surely add to the memorable experiences and restful nights we have offered travelers visiting Houston for almost 40 years in this location.”
With a focus on health and wellness, JW Marriott Houston by The Galleria offers guests weekly 30-minute meditation sessions in the hotel’s yoga Namaste room.
Owned by Host Hotels & Resorts, Inc., the hotel features 516 guest rooms; 41,500 square feet of meeting space; an outdoor pool with beautiful Houston city views; fitness center with cardio and weight training equipment; JW Market for coffee and snacks, and the hotel’s popular Stray Horse Restaurant, which was revamped and reopened last summer, serving Texan-Latin fusion cuisine in an upscale southwest setting.
The hotel was originally constructed in 1984, and it is a community landmark and an integral component of the Galleria, Uptown, Post Oak, and Memorial Park and Greenway Plaza neighborhoods.
