42 years in Houston, I've passed this hotel a million times. I had no idea that was up there and that Elvis stayed there. It does not look like a glamourous hotel from the outside. I had no clue!

Same here. Turns out in the 70s those were the most expensive hotel suites in the world.

@richardjohnson4373 2 месяца назад

Kiss played. I want to say the music hall but stayed at the suites at the hotel. A friend of mines older brother hung out in the lobby and got there autograps. It was in the makeup days and were not allowed photos but recognized them and some signed album's. Houston is a dying city it will go to the wrecking ball. Our new citizens from Venezuela and abroad dont care about the ASTRO WORLD hotel.

@youthbuildersantiaging4250 Год назад

It was 1974. My first concert. When he was suppose to play in Houston, They told Elvis to leave the colored girls behind, his back up singers. He said they come or I don’t. He then made sure they were on full display. He was The King!

@keetonplace Год назад

@youthbuildersantiaging4250.... I have never believed this story for a moment. There were no girls riding in the vehicle with Elvis. And...I worked at the airport the first time he came and met all the guys responsible for getting him to the Astrodome. Those guys were like little kids beaming with joy to have gotten Elvis there. They would have said nothing to deter him.

@texanswreck2011 Месяц назад

I don't belive it either, some people can't do anything without bringing up race...when people stop applying race to everything then we can be closer to the 1970s when everyone hung out together and didn't apply race to everything! Nobody was telling Elvis what to do in the 70s! The story sounds alot better with out the race baiting bs! F.y.i.

i did the remodel there probably 30 years ago. we did the bar area you see with the astros theme.. when i got there it looked like the old pictures you showed.. we only did minor repairs in the suits and they still look just like they did when it was originally built.. i was told elvis would rent the whole floor when he stayed so im sure he has been in every suite. was also told he did not like the suite you thought he slept in and would sleep in the suite called the jungle room. thanks for the video. it brought back memories

This hotel still exists as the Crowne Plaza Hotel near the Houston Astrodome and still has several suites in it. However, less well-known is Houston's gaudiest apartment inside the Houston Astrodome, itself. This apartment also was built by and belonged to Judge Roy Hofheinz and featured a putting green, a shooting gallery, a puppet theater and a bowling alley, while a private terrace overlooked the playing field. The décor in the Astrodome apartment was gaudy enough to make Elvis blush!

@michaeltaylor1603 Год назад

As a native Houstonian + former employee of now defunct AstroWorld. I am pleased you showcased this once Guinness World Record breaking suite. The reason the floor is NOT used is it it is NOT "Code" It's old like Disneyland + not ADA compliant. The "Judge" had exotic and over the top tastes. The Astrodome to us "old school" means a lot including the former park. While they exist in the "South" to attend the BB game or park was NOT segregated. They could make $$$ just giving tours If they wanted to. I also have memories of the Astro World/Village Hotel. The downstairs had the Mad Mushroom. It's changed owners many time. Had hotel/theme park B4 Walt Disney World. Was the 4th themed park in America.

Hi 👋 there Michael Taylor. Thankyou so very much " for sharing your wealth of knowledge", re the hotel etc . I just don't understand why " the owner/s wouldn't give guided tours???". Obviously they would have to make sure, it would be made safe for tourists, and people whom live in Texas. There are SOOOOOOO MANY ELVIS FANS, MJ FANS, HISTORIANS ETC ,ALL AROUND THIS BIG WIDE WORLD 🌐 WE LIVE IN, THAT WOULD LOVE ❤️ A GUIDED TOUR!!!!!!!!. THEY COULD GATHER PEOPLE ( LIKE YOURSELF) , TO GIVE SOME PERSONAL KNOWLEDGE, TO ADD TO THE GUIDED TOUR. HAVING SAID THAT " I DID READ A REPLY FROM SOMEONE, THAT SAID " SOMETIMES THEY DO OPEN THIS UP TO THE PUBLIC???". THANKYOU SO VERY MUCH, FOR YOUR WEALTH OF KNOWLEDGE MICHAEL, MUCH APPRECIATED!!!!!!. I WOULD ABSOLUTELY 💯 👌 ❤️, PAY TO HAVE A TOUR OF THIS HISTORIC PENTHOUSE ,AND ANYTHING ELSE. SO MUCH HISTORY TO BE LEARNT, AND IT'S JUST SITTING THERE " FROZEN IN TIME " , WHICH IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING, AND MIND BLOWING!!!!!!!!!!!. OH , OUT of curiosity, what work did you do at AstroWorld , before it was shut down????, if you don't mind me asking. Anyways, I WISH YOU 🤞 A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR, STAY SAFE, AND TC ALWAYS PLEASE. GOD BLESS Y'ALL 🙌 🙏 ❤️.

@@elvispresley9632 Hi Elvis....I have a lot of printed articles about the hotel. The model of the park was/is on display @ Central Branch Library in Houston, TX downtown. I was actually tasked with bringing it from the Astrodome to Astroworld where it was to be restored and placed in the atrium of the administration building. That NEVER happened, but thankfully it DID get e temporary restoration, but still needs some TLC. Ed Henderson made the model & drew the 1st park map. HE is who told me where the model was @ AD.

@shawnoliver6154 Год назад

Nice video, although it isn’t abandoned so much as it is just closed off. There are occasions where organizations such as Preservation Houston, etc. will arrange tours of the suites. Personally, I’m glad that it’s been kept as is. Roy Hofheinz was a genius, and he had a wonderful suite in the Astrodome itself, but I understand all that has gone away, so very nice that the hotel has hung onto this. I’ve actually seen personally-signed cheques from Elvis when he stayed there. LOL!

@elvispresley9632 Год назад

I TOTALLY AGREE 👍, I'M SOOOOOOO VERY HAPPY, THEY HAVE KEPT THIS " INTACT, AND UNTOUCHED ". WHAT AMAZING HISTORY!!!!!. DO YOU KNOW " IF THE ARRANGED TOURS , ARE RANDOM DATES ,OR DO THEY HAVE SPECIFIC DATES??????". I WOULD ABSOLUTELY 💯 LOVE TO TOUR THIS PLACE!!!!!!!. YOU ARE VERY LUCKY TO HAVE SEEN " PERSONAL CHEQUES ELVIS HAD WRITTEN OUT ,AND SIGNED ". WISHING YOU A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR. TC ALWAYS PLEASE, AND HAVE A GREAT DAY. GOD BLESS Y'ALL 🙌 🙏.

Seeing the Astrodome again brought tears to my eyes as a former member of the UH Cougar Band during the mid/late 80s when the Coogs played their home football games in the Dome. I spent a lot of Saturdays in that place and at AstroWorld. University of Houston also fairly recently tore down Hofheinz Pavilion where the Coogs played basketball. People could purchase pieces of it, like stadium seats, as mementos.

@dinshawpocha4882 Год назад

I was just checking Google about the Astrodome World Hotel in 2017 the Texas Historical Commission designated the Astrodome a state antiques land mark which basically protects it from being torn down. That also means that the Texas Historical Commission has to sign off on any changes and no changes can be made that can't be undone. Voters turned down a proposal to upgrade the building in 2013.

@GlobetrottingWithTrey Год назад

I’m glad it can’t be torn down.. perhaps this video will show them people would be interested in staying or touring the place..

@dinshawpocha4882 Год назад

@@GlobetrottingWithTrey Hi Trey, I totally agree with you that people would be interested in touring or even staying at the Astro World Hotel I think that a petition would need to be made and funding started on a crowd funding page to raise the money to restore this building and make it up to date on the fire regulations. All the original features are there plus the history. Thank you for your response. Take Care.

@@GlobetrottingWithTrey I'll answer. I was there. It was the beginning of Elvis touring after the 68 Special. Over several days 200,000 people saw him in my beloved Astrodome. It was huge for a concert. Of course we were all excited and loved that he went around the arena in the back of a truck to get closer to the fans, as was his way. But I preferred seeing him in Vegas up close and personal.

@magpieproductions2319 Год назад

I have been in there for an event for OTC (Oil Technology Conference). It was dinner and business keynotes for a tech company. We were given tours of the entire floor. I believe to preserve it, they only use it for tours and special functions.

@Phildo8 Год назад

18:15 1000% agree with hoping the city of Houston and the preservation society realize that is truly a time capsule. Say for tiny changes to keep up with times when it was still being used like perhaps new shades, rugs, and of course the big ol Zenith tube TVs it has basically frozen in time as it was in those historic photos. I would almost bet that should they ever open it up to the public for tours it would attract people from around the country if not the world venturing to see it eager to pay their money for a chance to walk in the footprints of a place where so many historical superstars & politicians alike stayed. I wouldn’t even recommend “tidying” the place up either I’d leave it as is dust and all! I know I’d gladly pay a fee to get to see this in person and experience what you did in this video. The whole time you could tell by the enthusiasm in your voice that your loving every second.

Never heard about this. Houston native, my mom worked as a nurse in first aid and saw Elvis live free working there. Now I have to drive by this place. Slept many a night on gurneys in the dome worried the man my rats I kept hearing about would show up. The dome is haunted big time been in there when is empty before rodeo started or after when my mom had to finish with patients (usually drunks who feel fell down the stairs) and it’s like someone’s watching you. I never saw the purpose of Lee p brown demanding that NRG stadium, the dome was fine with some repairs and is a historic landmark: NRG is boring and nothing fancy. Total waste of taxpayers money

If Graceland had any care or sense to grow the legacy of EP outside their compound I do feel this would be a great investment for them.. hire me and I’ll tour fans around it during the week and honor Elvis Astrodome shows and history…how does that sound?

Whoa! That is so cool! I wish that room could talk.

@debbiep4647 Год назад

Also it's a shame how it's been totally abandoned. Someone needs to save some of those amazing pieces of furniture etc!

I went to the Astrodome in 1969 when I was 11. Biggest building I ever saw. Good work Trey. Btw I've heard about that suite for years but never googled it. Wow!

@GlobetrottingWithTrey Год назад

Hope this show today lived up to what you heard about the suite… it’s very cool!

Absolute time capsule. So happy you could see it. So much noise from the freeway.

@ericarnaud7983 Год назад

I saw Elvis play in the dome that year. Later I did work at Astroworld for a couple seasons. 👍

I just can’t stop commenting thru this whole video!! It is so huge and so beautiful!!!!

@user-rr3yw9dn1l Год назад

It wouldnt take much to clean that up and open it for tours. Elvis, architecture, disney, astro fans etc would probably love to tour that floor.

@elladunfee6706 Год назад

Great, great video!

@jeffthacker4899 Год назад

I used to work security there in the early 90’s. I spent a lot of time up there in those rooms. No one stayed there at that time but I would go up there and hang out for hours on my shifts.

@GlobetrottingWithTrey Год назад

Did it look like it does now back in the early 90s?

@jeffthacker4899 Год назад

Honestly, I haven’t watched your video to the end but I will. It actually looks cleaner now. But my memory isn’t exactly great from 30 years ago. I worked uniform security at the time and hung out with the maintenance guys a lot because we worked the night shift mostly. Man, I could tell you some crazy stories from that time in those penthouse suites! Oh and they are definitely haunted. I know, I know…no one will believe me but strange stuff happened there at night.

@tinydesigns4394 Год назад

I wish they would bring back multi level floor plans . So much fun .

@puffchick4197 Год назад

Very Cool I Hope they keep it like it is and clean it up That’s history it would be a great tourist attraction

@williamandhisstarwars Год назад

Great episode. The Wyndham has no plans to renovate those suites? It seems like a great historical trip for young and old to say in one of those rooms. Astro World was so popular during it's day.
