Houstonian’s 17,000sq ft Trellis Spa to get refurbishment

02 Apr 2019
The Houstonian Hotel, Club & Spa in Texas will undergo a US$45m renovation later this year, including a complete refurbishment of the Trellis Spa to include a luxury outdoor water experience.

Trellis Spa is a Mediterranean-style, 17,000sq ft facility with 21 treatment rooms, hair and nail salons, locker rooms with whirlpool and steam rooms, an indoor float pool, a relaxation lounge with fireplace and a Tranquility Room.

Located on 27 wooded acres in the heart of Houston, the independent property includes guest rooms with floor-to-ceiling wooded views.

The 175,000sq ft Houstonian Club offers state-of-the-art equipment, over 250 weekly group exercise classes, aquatic programmes, an indoor tennis facility, a resort pool with a rock slide, sports lap pool and quiet garden pool.

“We are fortunate to operate a property with distinctive buildings, abundant trees and open spaces,” said John Durie, president and CEO of Houstonian Campus, LLC. “The master plan confirms our commitment to enhancing our place among the most enduring luxury properties in Texas.”

Construction will begin in late 2019 and will also include a complete remodel of the hotel’s guest rooms and suites, an enhanced arrival experience and an update to the hotel’s Great Room lobby. Further utilising its outdoor surroundings, a new event deck overlooking Buffalo Bayou will be added.

Huitt-Zollars, Inc. has been chosen as architect, and Forney Construction will fill the role of construction manager and general contractor. Kay Lang & Associates has been chosen as the interior designer for the project. Fabiano Designs, known for its expertise in the club industry, will consult on the club design.

“The Houstonian is a place of endearing memories for those we have had the honour of serving over our 40-year history,” said Durie. “We are making this investment to ensure this iconic property, which bears the name of our world-class city, may be a part of the life of the next generation of Houstonians, and those who visit our city.”
