\u201cHaving this new InterContinental hotel adjacent to the Texas Medical Center, the world\u2019s largest medical complex, is a unique factor. IHG is enthusiastic about this location and this project,\u201d a company spokesperson told Commercial Property Executive<\/a><\/em>. \u201cThis is the first full-service luxury hotel to be developed in this immediate area in some time, and will serve a growing, global customer base that does business with and visits the TMC.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 21-story hotel will feature a signature InterContinental Club Lounge, 37 suites, restaurant and bar, outdoor pool and fitness center. The property\u00a0will also include 11,800 square feet of meeting space, including seven meeting and board rooms and a 7,800-square-foot grand ballroom.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs an ecosystem, the TMC really draws an international type of clientele that recognizes the global InterContinental brand,\u201d the spokesperson said. \u201cIHG is very excited about working with Medistar on this project, who understands the global nature of our brand. We are really appreciative of Medistar\u2019s long-term investment and commitment to the InterContinental Houston Medical Center.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to the IHG representative, hotel guests will enjoy easy, walkable access to the medical complex\u2019s 21 renowned hospitals, 14 support organizations, 10 academic institutions, eight academic and research institutions, seven nursing programs, three public health organizations, three medical schools, two pharmacy schools, and a dental school.<\/p>\n

IGH now has more than 180 hotels in over 60 countries in its portfolio.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are very enthused about working with our partners at Medistar Corp. to bring the InterContinental Hotels & Resorts brand to Houston and the Texas Medical Center, which serves patients and visitors from all around the world,\u201d Joel Eisemann, IHG\u2019s chief development officer\u00a0for the\u00a0Americas, said in a prepared release. \u201cWe appreciate (Medistar Corporation founder & CEO) Monzer Hourani\u2019s vision for and commitment to this outstanding project.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
