DoubleTree by Hilton Opens Fourth Hotel in Houston, Texas

MCLEAN, Va.—DoubleTree by Hilton today announced the opening of the 303-room DoubleTree by Hilton Houston Hobby Airport, located less than half a mile from Houston’s William P. Hobby Airport and just 30 minutes from the Houston Intercontinental Airport. Formerly a Hilton, the hotel will continue to be owned and operated by 1859 Historic Hotels of Galveston, Texas, and guests will continue to earn and be able to redeem HHonors points at the hotel.

As part of its transformation, the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Houston Hobby Airport is undergoing a comprehensive renovation, to include a new executive lounge on the ninth floor for Hilton Honors members, a private wine room for special occasions in the Boardwalk Dining Room, an airline crew lounge, and updates to all public spaces, including the front desk and exterior entrance area. A complete makeover of the guestrooms and baths will begin in January 2013.

Hotel General Manager Helen Bonsall said of the transformation, “Our hotel’s dedication to a superior guest experience aligns perfectly with the DoubleTree by Hilton brand promise to provide the special comforts and acts of kindness that make the traveler feel human again.” She continued, “This culture of caring begins with the presentation of a warm chocolate chip cookie at check-in and carries through all aspects of the hotel stay. We have enjoyed a long association with Hilton Worldwide since 1982 and look forward to many years to come with this invigorating brand realignment.”

The hotel’s guestrooms and suites include a single king-size or two double beds; granite bathrooms; mini fridge; complimentary, wireless, high-speed, internet access; work desks with ergonomic chairs; 37-inch high-definition LCD TVs in standard rooms; 42-inch, high-definition LCD TVs in suites; MP3-compatible alarm clocks; and Wolfgang Puck in-room gourmet coffee and tea service. Suites offer a living room and bedroom area.

The DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Houston Hobby Airport also features 18,000 square feet of flexible meeting spaces, for events that can accommodate up to 900 people. The hotel’s largest meeting room, at 8,214 square feet, is a venue designed for both business and social events. The hotel also has a 24-hour, self-service, business center and complimentary printing service. For guests who wish to keep up with their workout program while traveling at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Houston Hobby Airport, a fitness center and outdoor swimming pool are available.
