    Tilman Fertitta's downtown hotel debuts multi-million-dollar makeover

    The Westin Houston Downtown is showcasing a multi-million-dollar renovation, featuring refreshed rooms, dining spaces, and Houston-inspired design touches.

    The Westin Houston Downtown has undergone a multi-million-dollar renovation.

    Directly across from Daikin Park, the Fertitta Hospitality-owned hotel is a common spot for visitors and locals alike to gather for conferences, events, and a quick bite before the ball game.

    “This renovation marks a new chapter for The Westin Houston Downtown,” Brian Sciberras, general manager, said in a statement. “People stay with us because of the care, service, and location we provide. With refreshed rooms and vibrant dining areas, we’ve created spaces that feel inviting, comfortable, and distinctly Houston.”

    The city’s natural landscapes inspired the hotel's refresh. A custom mirror, inspired by tree bark’s texture, was commissioned from a local artist to serve as the focal point of the lounge. The color palette has been updated to feature greens reminiscent of Houston’s oak and cypress trees, while hints of yellow allude to the wildflowers found alongside the city’s streets.

    An oversized entertainment unit with a raw-edge limestone shelf houses an 85-inch screen, ideal for those who want to catch the game while sipping a craft cocktail at Ballpark Bar. The large piece separates the lounge from the main bar, creating two distinct spaces.

    In the Ballpark Cafe, natural cork now covers the walls, while sconces and chandeliers have been modernized throughout.

    The 200 guest rooms have received new flooring, mini refrigerators, and headboards boasting built-in reading lights. Once again, greens and yellows play a part, with beige and wood tones adding to the calming effect. The enhancements continue in the bathrooms, where guests will find illuminated vanity mirrors, stone countertops, and glass-encased Heavenly Showers.

    Guests can even book select rooms equipped with a Peloton, so no one has to miss their favorite instructor. The Fitness Room has also been upgraded with Technogym Treadmills, Ellipticals, and a Recumbent bike.

    Local pride shines through in the hotel’s meeting areas, which now feature custom carpeting depicting the city’s skyline, along with upgraded pendant lighting and enhanced technology offerings.

    The Omni PGA Frisco Resort now has a Dude Perfect-branded suite.

    Dude Perfect fans now have their shot to live like the sports-comedy group sensation: The Omni PGA Frisco Resort & Spa has partnered with Frisco-based Dude Perfect to debut a themed hotel suite packed with sports games, branded décor, and interactive activities overlooking the Fields Ranch golf course.

    According to a release, the new Dude Perfect Suite is now open at the resort and available for bookings, but only for a limited time.

    Located on the third floor, the suite includes a balcony overlooking the 10th hole at Fields Ranch East and is designed to accommodate six to eight guests. The setup, designed for families, includes one king bed, four twin bunk beds, and a pull-out sofa, with separate spaces geared toward both kids and adults.

    The room leans heavily into the Dude Perfect "brand" - yes, there are spots for trick-shots. Sporty features include:

    • AstroTurf accents in the living room and bunk bedroom
    • A PlayStation gaming setup with leather gaming chairs
    • Mini basketball hoops and magnetic dart boards
    • Sports challenge games and soft-launch toys inspired by Dude Perfect stunts
    • A flexible game table for family activities
    • Sneaker-themed wallpaper in the bunk room
    • Selfie backdrops and oversized wall graphics
    • Dude Perfect-branded décor including throw pillows, towels, water bottles, and logo installations
    • In-room merchandise available for purchase, including hats, books, games, and water bottles

    “This partnership gave us the opportunity to create an experience that feels larger than life for kids without compromising the level of comfort and quality parents expect from Omni PGA Frisco Resort,” say Jeff Smith, vice president and managing director at Omni PGA Frisco Resort & Spa, in the release. ”Collaborating with Dude Perfect, a brand that shares our roots in sports and community, allows us to reimagine the family getaway in a bold and memorable way.”

    Dude Perfect, founded in 2009 by five college friends (Tyler Toney, Cory Cotton, Coby Cotton, Garrett Hilbert, and Cody Jones) who built a following through trick-shot videos and sports content, has grown into one of the largest sports entertainment brands in the world. Their YouTube channel has become the biggest sports account on YouTube, with 62 million subscribers, and the group has garnered more than 18 billion views across platforms, with featured celebrities and athletes like Steph Curry, Serena Williams, Luka Doncic, Caitlin Clark, and CeeDee Lamb.

    They've since expanded into a diversified media company encompassing video content, popular simulcasts for professional sports (like the NFL on Amazon), a best-selling toy in Walmart, and live tours. They also recently helped develop a construction-themed theme park in Grapevine.

    "Partnering with Omni gives us the opportunity to bring the Dude Perfect version of sports, play, and competition for families to enjoy in the real world," says Andrew Yaffe, CEO of Dude Perfect. "Omni shares our belief that the best entertainment is interactive, epic, and built for families. Together, we’re creating something that brings the Dude Perfect experience to fans in a new way."

    The Dude Perfect Suite package is available through December 2027 and includes breakfast and a resort credit for registered guests. The shot to live like a Dude won't come cheap for most folks: According to the website, rates start around $1,200 per night.
