Houston

Built in 1963 in the heart of downtown Houston, The Whitehall quickly established itself as one of the city’s most stylish and well-known hotels and remains so to this day. Superbly located within walking distance of such leading business and leisure destinations as the George R. Brown Convention Center, Rice University, Minute Maid Park, and Houston’s Theatre District, the hotel is directly connected via skywalk to more than 2 million square feet of Class-A office space with major tenants such as KBR, Chevron and United Airlines. The hotel offers 259 guest rooms and 12,000 square feet of meeting space.

Sotherly Hotels acquired the property in November 2013, adding to its portfolio a prized, high-performing asset in the heart of the largest MSA in the southern United States. In 2014, Sotherly began a comprehensive $5.0 million renovation and rebranding of the hotel that included updates to The Whitehall’s guest rooms and public spaces, the creation of two new food and beverage outlets, Part & Parcel and Buffalo Bayou Coffee, as well as an upgraded look and concept for the hotel’s existing restaurant, Edgar’s Hermano.
