The hotel’s design is an intersection of academia, art, medicine and nature, inviting guests to take respite from the rigors of everyday life. The hub of the hotel is the fifth level pavilion where the hotel’s lobby, ballroom, Terrace 54 Bar + Table restaurant, and two expansive terraces are swathed in unobstructed natural light with floor-to-ceiling window views. Furthermore, a vast and carefully curated art collection with predominately Houston-based artists is on display throughout the hotel with the intent is to reflect Houston’s cultural diversity.
