History

Four Seasons Hotel Houston opened in 1982. [2] [ dead link ‍] It became the city's first AAA Five-Diamond hotel [3] [ unreliable source? ] in 1996. In 2000, Crescent Real Estate Equities, the owner of Houston Center, sold the Four Seasons Hotel Houston to Maritz, Wolff & Co., a hotel investment group, for $105 million. [4]

In 2006, Institutional Investor ranked Four Seasons Hotel Houston the 87th "Best Hotel in the World". The hotel currently houses 404 guest rooms, including 12 suites, throughout 30 floors.[ citation needed ]

In 2013, Maritz, Wolff & Co. sold the property to Cascade Investment. Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts, owned jointly by Cascade, Kingdom Holding Company and Triples Holdings, will continue to manage the hotel. [2]

Amenities


The hotel has 289 rooms and 115 suits, in addition to 64 apartment units at the Four Seasons Place, a total of 468 guest accommodations. [5]

Zoned schools

The Four Seasons Place apartments are zoned to Houston Independent School District schools. [6] Residents are zoned to Gregory Lincoln Education Center (Grades K-8), [7] and Northside High School (formerly Jefferson Davis High School). [8]

By Spring 2011, Atherton Elementary School and E.O. Smith Education Center were consolidated with a new K-5 campus in the Atherton site. [9] As a result, the building was rezoned from Smith to Gregory Lincoln for the middle school level. [10] Previously it was zoned to Bruce Elementary. [11] As part of rezoning for the 2014–2015 school year, this tower was rezoned from Bruce to Gregory-Lincoln K-8 for elementary school. [12]
