A 45-year-old institution at George Bush Intercontinental Airport, the Houston Airport Marriott unveiled a multimillion dollar makeover. The renovations were completed last month at the 573-room airport hotel.

The extensive renovation includes guestrooms, suites, meeting rooms, lobby, restaurants, public areas and fitness center. These areas have been given a stylistic update, moving it away from its 1970s-era décor and delivering a more modern appearance.

“The Houston Airport Marriott provides our travelers with an elevated option for meetings, business trips and leisure stays with the convenience of being in the heart of George Bush Intercontinental Airport,” said Mario C. Diaz, director, Houston Aviation. “The hotel adds to the airport’s plans to revitalize and modernize our facility and provide our growing number of travelers with the best care and experience possible when arriving and departing our gates. We’re thrilled to have the newly transformed hotel that guests can easily access from all five terminals in the airport.”

The Marriott is IAH’s only airport hotel. It offers convenient and complementary transportation directly to and from each terminal through a connected underground tram.

“The hotel has been updated with our guest’s comfort in mind so that they may have an uplifting experience and the opportunity to recharge while they are on the road,” said Suzy Hart, general manager, Houston Airport Marriott. “We’re thrilled to extend our reopening celebration into the George Bush Intercontinental Airport with travel amenities for those coming to Houston and departing to various destinations.”
