Staybridge Suites Houston Stafford-Sugar Land has opened as the brand’s first hotel to open with one of the new design schemes created by Savannah College of Art and Design‘s (SCAD) interior design students. The property features the Vista design, which focuses on fresh color, organic patterns, and subtle textures.
The 90-key hotel offers three spacious suite options: deluxe studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom/two-bath. Each room includes several features intended to reduce environmental impact:
- Kitchen countertops and bathroom vanities are made of quartz, an abundant natural mineral that is virtually maintenance-free and requires no chemical sealing
- Modular carpet tiles are 100 percent recyclable and produce less waste upon installation and replacement.
- Low-VOC paint throughout the suites helps eliminate toxic airborne chemicals.
- Tile selections incorporate pre- and/or post-consumer recycled material.
- Many fabrics are dyed and printed in a process that does not require water, meaning left-over chemicals won’t be flushed out into the environment.
The new designs also take into account the unique needs of the extended-stay traveler, including flexibility and storage. Ottoman cubes provide extra seating and storage space, with upholstered tops that can be flipped over to support a laptop or food and drinks. A desk hutch has been added to the existing work surface, providing guests with the ability to store items and customize their workspace, while a built-in closet unit provides customizable shelving for clothing and luggage. In the studio suites, an extended nightstand functions as an added work surface and vanity area, and a bench stored underneath can serve as seating or double as a dressing bench.
