The Hilton Houston Post Oak offers beautifully appointed accommodations with all the modern amenities and services that are expected at a top-rate business hotel. Designed by world-famous architect, I. M. Pei, the Hilton Houston Post Oak features 30,000 square feet of exquisite meeting space, 448 lavish guest rooms, 26 junior suites and a Texas-sized Presidential Suite.

One of the most distinguishing qualities of the Hilton Houston Post Oak is its tree-lined location in the heart of Uptown, near the Galleria shopping complex. Just 35 minutes from George Bush Intercontinental Airport and ten minutes from downtown, the hotel is in the perfect location for business meetings and events. The Medical Center, Reliant Park, George R. Brown Convention Center, Wortham Theater and Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center are among the Houston attractions within easy reach of the hotel.

The Hilton Houston Post Oak’s elegant guest rooms feature designer furnishings, wireless Internet access, separate sitting and sleeping areas, roomy bathrooms with deluxe toiletries and a balcony for a comfortable stay near the heart of Houston.  The Memorial Suite offers two-bedrooms and private meeting space for guests who need to mix comfort and business. Executive level floors also offer a wealth of amenities and a private executive lounge.

Recently renovated meeting space adds to the draw of this AAA Four Diamond hotel. In June 2008, the Grand Ballroom was completely renovated to reflect the traditional look and feel of the hotel. Featuring more than 10,000 square feet of meeting space and gorgeous crystal chandeliers, the Grand Ball Room is the perfect option for magnificent galas, company dinners or luxurious cocktail parties for up to 1,100 guests.

While the Grand Ball Room is the signature event space, there are numerous other options for meetings and events at the Hilton Houston Post Oak. The hotel space is divisible into a total of 25 separate rooms and each room is equipped with individual climate controls, lighting, sound and HSIA capabilities.

The Hilton Houston Post Oak offers installed and portable sound systems, flip charts, projectors, screens, lighting, computers and other audio-visual equipment for meetings and events. The hotel also has a partnership with Presentation Services (PSAV) that allows meeting planners to take advantage of audio-visual equipment from one of Houston’s most sought-after companies. PSAV maintains and operates state-of-the-art equipment on-site at the hotel.

Catering and dining options are also available at the Hilton Houston Post Oak. The hotel’s primary dining establishment, The Promenade, is an American grill that serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. Located on the first floor lobby, The Promenade is complimented by two relaxing bars. The hotel also features 24-hour room service and can customize menus for meetings and events.

Meetings and event planning is made simple with the signature Hilton e-Events program. This online program allows meeting planners to book event space, food and beverage orders, lodging needs and other amenities without the hassle of paperwork. With e-Events, meeting planners get instant confirmation and the convenience of a one-stop-shop. The site also features a guest list manager that allows meeting planners to book rooms on behalf of guests, manage room blocks and view confirmed guests.

The Hilton Houston Post Oak is more than just a fancy hotel with exceptional meeting space. This dynamic facility also offers several community programs that are a major draw for Houstonians and out-of-town guests. For instance, the Uptown Holiday Lighting on Thanksgiving evening is an annual tradition that the hotel honors. The ambiance created by 80 brilliantly-decorated Christmas trees is the perfect invitation for the holiday season. During this event, guests decorate balconies and watch festivities that help to ring-in the holidays in style. Many families have been coming to this event for over 10 years.

From lodging to meeting space to one-of-a-kind events, the Hilton Houston Post Oak is the perfect place for mixing business with pleasure. For more information, call 713-961-9300 or log onto www.houstonpostoak.hilton.com.
