Houston Hotel Emerges from $22M Makeover
Sept 5, 2008

Sunstone Hotel Investors has wrapped up its reinvention of the former Wyndham Greenspoint Hotel, re-opening the 480-room property as the Hilton Houston North. The company, which has owned the hotel since buying it from Wyndham International Inc. in 2002, spent $22 million on the renovation. Located at 12400 Greenspoint Dr., about a half-hour from downtown Houston and approximately seven miles from the George Bush Intercontinental Airport, the new Hilton features 51,000 square feet of revamped meeting space, a wine bar that will debut in October and a state-of-the-art fitness facility scheduled to open its doors by November.
