(HOUSTON,TX ) – Houston-based Midway, a privately owned, fully integrated real estate investment, and development firm, has announced the multi-million dollar comprehensive renovation of The Moran CITYCENTRE. This transformative project signifies the first major update since the hotel's opening in 2009, aiming to enhance the overall guest experience through a modern Texas-inspired aesthetic, state-of-the-art amenities and new food and beverage offerings.
"The Moran CITYCENTRE, named after Midway’s founder Jim Moran, is a signature property within our flagship mixed-use development," shared Robert Williamson, Senior Vice President of Investment Management at Midway. "The renovation seeks to create a destination that distinguishes itself not only in Houston but as a model of hospitality and design. The goal is to blend the essence of Texas with sophisticated elements, ensuring a memorable stay for our guests."
The Moran CITYCENTRE is a prime destination for business travelers, leisure seekers, shoppers, event attendees, families, and locals seeking a unique venue. The extensive renovation of all 244 guest rooms features updated furnishings, premium bedding, contemporary lighting fixtures, and cutting-edge technology enhancements. Elevated amenities further emphasize the property’s commitment to providing an exceptional guest experience. These include chic bar carts highlighting Texas-based liquors such as Tito’s Vodka and Garrison Brothers Texas Whiskey along with various snack options, coffee service utilizing Illy products, custom bath products and robes, and handheld steamers.
The dramatic renovation will extend beyond guest rooms with reimagined common spaces including the hotel entrance, lobby, and front desk. Redesigned meeting areas and a new lobby bar with a lively patio overlooking CITYCENTRE’s central plaza will reshape communal areas and the hotel's culinary venue is set to undergo a rejuvenating update. The fitness center will be upgraded with all-new equipment, including Peloton bikes, for an energizing workout. The ground level entry and an updated connection to CITYCENTRE’s central plaza promise a greatly enhanced pedestrian experience.
“The Moran CITYCENTRE is committed to providing guests with an enjoyable and relaxing experience,” said Steven Terrebonne, General Manager. “This renovation is a testament to our commitment to innovation and excellence. We look forward to sharing the refreshed offerings with our guests.”
Situated in the heart of CITYCENTRE, an award-winning ULI Development of the Decade, The Moran CITYCENTRE is steps away from Houston’s central hub for entertainment, dining, and shopping. The renovation of guest rooms is complete, while the finalization of public spaces is anticipated in late summer 2024. Throughout the renovation process, the hotel will remain open, offering special rates that include exclusive offers for past guests, locals, and appealing options for new guests to experience the changes and enhanced offerings.
