History for the Preservationist:
The Warwick overlooked Hermann Park and the Mecom fountain and was once the only place to stay in Houston. Its location near the park, Rice University and the city's cluster of art museums is one of the nicest parts of Houston. The Warwick built in the 1920s as a luxury apartment hotel, part of a trend to develop these kinds of properties outside city centers near cultural institutions. It was trend of elite apartments for well-to-do people. In the 1960s, Texas oilman John Mecom bought the property. He renovated it and added rooms. The new Warwick made national headlines and established itself as the fanciest hotel in Houston. During the oil boom, other high-end properties were built, displacing the Warwick as Houston's premier hotel.
