Club Quarters Hotel, hotel in Houston, Texas
Club Quarters Hotel occupies a 16-story skyscraper from 1929 located on Fannin Street in downtown Houston. The building displays Beaux-Arts architecture with a brick facade and has a C-shaped layout that provides views along two streets.
The building was designed by local architect Joseph Finger in 1929 and was meant to open by the time of the 1928 Democratic National Convention, though construction delays postponed its completion. After decades as a thriving hotel, it closed in the 1980s and stood vacant for nearly two decades before renovation began in the early 2000s, with reopening as Club Quarters in 2004.
The hotel occupies a building originally known as the Texas State Hotel, which reflects Houston's identity during its period of rapid growth in the early 20th century. The structure represents a time when the city was transforming from small residential neighborhoods into a bustling downtown business district.
The hotel sits downtown with easy access to museums, theaters, and the light rail system for moving around the city easily. Rooms include free WiFi, and there is a 24-hour fitness center with weights and cardio equipment, though there is no pool.
The building originally held about 300 rooms and was built by Jesse H. Jones, a well-known figure in Houston. The renovation earned the Good Brick Award in 2006 for preserving historic features while modernizing the interior.
