Luxury hotel brand, Ritz-Carlton, is coming to Houston! In an announcement made earlier this week, the brand plans to return to Houston after a near 20-year hiatus with a 44-story hotel at over 600 feet tall in Uptown.
After years swirling rumors, Marriott International has confirmed plans for a brand-new Ritz-Carlton hotel and residences in Uptown Houston. Designated as one of the city’s “most dynamic addresses”, the hotel and residences will be located at 2120 Post Oak Boulevard between The Galleria and River Oaks.
The Ritz-Carlton Houston projects has plans for a 44-story tower at over 600 feet high housing 154 hotel rooms for visitors. Furthermore, the property will feature 114 private residences—starting at 2,200 square feet—featuring uninterrupted views with access to owner-only perks like private motor courts, lobbies, and elevators. Hotel guests, won’t be walled off, as the building will boast nearly 50,000 square feet of shared amenities including cultural spaces, dining, and wellness experiences.
For the project, Houston developers Deiso Moss and Cleary Interests are teaming up with Marriott International. Handling the design is Pickard Chilton and Ziegler Cooper Architects with interiors from Rottet Studio. Harvey Cleary leads construction. For those who like to be ahead of the curve, a sales gallery is already under construction, and a dedicated website is live for the early birds.
“We are humbled to be part of this moment in Houston’s history. This project belongs to the city,” Andrew Deiso and Taylor Moss of Houston-based Deiso Moss told Bisnow in a statement. “It is conceived for Houston’s world-class residents, its future, and the generations who will look to Houston not only as the energy capital of the world, but as a place of refinement, culture, and enduring excellence. We are honored to work with Marriott to bring the storied Ritz-Carlton brand to Houston.”
This be Houston’s first Ritz-Carlton hotel since its hotel in River Oaks. Opened in 1983, the company cut ties with the Houston hotel and it was stripped of its name in 1997. That hotel eventually became the St. Regis Houston. It will be only the third Ritz property in the state. No exact opening nor timeline has been released.
