The Houstonian Hotel, Club & Spa Review

 

Nestled amid mature oaks and pines, The Houstonian Hotel, Club & Spa is a historic, Forbes four-star hotel that exudes luxury, elegance, and southern hospitality. The former home of United States President George H.W. Bush, it has Texas ranch decor, upscale amenities, and is set amid 27 wooded acres and lush green grounds. It feels like a secluded retreat miles from the city — yet is in the heart of Houston. It also has one of the finest fitness clubs in the U.S., and a newly renovated spa that is a Zen-like sanctuary.

Explore the woodland grounds on a nature walk, passing monarch butterflies and spotting ruby-throated hummingbirds. Watch rabbits hop along the hotel lawns and go for a leisurely run along the forest jogging path that links up with the Memorial Park trails. The property’s ideal location offers easy access to popular Houston dining, shopping, nightlife, and attractions.

If you would prefer to stay closer to home during your stay, head over to the 175,000 square foot Houstonian Club and experience the world class fitness facility’s weekly classes, gym space, tennis courts and more. For something a little more relaxing, a day at the Trellis Spa could be in order. The extensive spa has indoor and outdoor soaking pools as well as multiple treatment rooms for everything from massages and facials to cutting edge light therapy treatments. Take a break from your relaxing and enjoy a gourmet lunch on the terrace or in the gardens before continuing back inside for even more pampering!
