Alden Houston, originally the Sam Houston Hotel, is a historic hotel in Downtown Houston, Texas, United States that is listed in the National Register of Historic Places under its former name. The hotel received its listing on April 17, 2004.[1]
The Sam Houston Hotel Company built the hotel in 1924 to cater to the budget minded business traveler. It was designed by the firm Sanguinet, Staats, Hedrick & Gottlie. The hotel operated until the 1970s.[2] The building sat vacant and unused for over 25 years. In 2002 it was extensively remodeled and reopened by Spire Realty Group, the new owner of the hotel. Although it opened under its original name, Spire re-branded it as the Alden Houston because Spire hoped to expand the Alden brand to other cities.[3] The hotel offers 97 rooms and suites.[2] At midnight on March 17, 2010, the ownership of the Alden Houston formally transferred from Spire Realty Group to Connecticut-based EAC Hospitality.[3]
