Houstonian Hotel

We are celebrating my daughter’s 8th birthday at The Houstonian, and I wanted to recognize Natalie for going completely above and beyond.

When I made the reservation, Natalie asked what my daughter was into. I mentioned a few of her favorite things, and when we arrived, she had transformed our room into the most thoughtful birthday surprise. There were personalized decorations, framed photos, themed gifts, friendship bracelets, a handwritten note, special treats, and so many little details that showed she had truly listened.

The look on my daughter’s face when she walked into the room was priceless. Natalie made her feel incredibly special, and as a mom, that means everything.

I’ve stayed at many hotels over the years, but this level of thoughtfulness and attention to detail is rare. Natalie helped create a birthday memory my daughter will never forget, and I sincerely hope she receives recognition for the exceptional job she did.

Thank you, Natalie, for making our stay so special.

It is truly a five star experience. From arrival, to the quality of facilities to how each member I interacted with reflects a five star curated experience.

I’ve had the blessing to stay in serval five star hotels in my travels nationally and globally. The closest experience I would compare it to would be the St. Regis in Rome.

Besides the facilities, the bed slept like heaven, four down pillows, and house slippers and turn down service each night. Loved the marked, walkable track finished with a professional track service.

My favorite, was the gym which is the closest I’ve seen to a lifetime fitness but with a turf Hyrox/Crossfit area, walkable track, spa offerings with various fitness classes and an abundance of the latest free weights and machines.

Everyone that worked at the hotel always seemed to have a smile. Each small interaction was about service.

Recommended with enthusiasm.
Five star experience through and through.

The service was incredible. They were friendly, fast, and attentive without ever feeling overdone. We were especially impressed by how intuitive the housekeeping staff was. Our daughter had some DayQuil out because she was fighting a cold, and they thoughtfully placed a eucalyptus shower puck on the bathroom counter. We had sunglasses sitting out as well, and they left lens cleaning cloths. Those small, thoughtful touches meant so much and made our stay feel extra comfortable.

Our room was spacious, and the beds were extremely comfortable. I especially appreciated the light controls on each side of the bed and the abundance of outlets (such a small thing that makes a big difference). Everything about the room felt intentionally designed for comfort.

The hotel grounds were beautiful and peaceful. The decor and finishes felt timeless and very well maintained. It truly felt like staying in an oasis rather than in the middle of a large city.

Thank you for making our stay so comfortable and relaxing!

Used to love spend time at the pool, in the fitness center, on the courts, in the dining area, etc. At some point management felt the need to place key-fob locks on every entry point. You go into he fitness center (one check), you go to the fitness room another check-in, you go to the next room/facility within the building and once again your pulling out your FOB. Eerily similar to my time working within the penal system. The sole difference was at the Houstonian I was not provided an armed escort (lol) in spite of the high membership fees.

As I exited the fitness facility to the pool, once again the need for the FOB. Do not like leaving my FOB out on a table and they are not to be underwater. Yes, the FOBs get taken and the member as to pay for another.

After being a member at numerous country clubs as well as a guest at some of the most exclusive, I cannot recall ever feeling like I was in a white-collar prison nor the requirement to carry a FOB for access every time, everywhere.

The only time I return nowadays is as a guest.

There is a trail to walk around, a hot spa, etc! Ample free parking for local visitors. The only '-' is that there is no store or shopping center close by!
