HISTORY/OVERVIEW:
Built in 1936 in Houston, Texas, as the headquarters for Humble Oil, the predecessor to Exxon, this building was the first property to install air conditioning in the South. The building sat vacant for over ten years and was redeveloped into a mixed-use development of two Marriott hotels and The Humble Tower Luxury Apartments. Historic architecture of the local landmark was preserved including original rose marble and granite detailing, brass elevator doors, and 80-year-old windows. Amenities include a pool, fitness center, meeting/banquet facilities, business center, lounge, wet bar, and on-site parking. Retail include Josephine's Ristorante, Pappas Bar-B-Q, Starbucks, The Humble Cafe, and Chilis.
