The Houstonian feels improbable for a hotel inside a major American city. Interiors reinforce that sense of place with wood paneling, rich fabrics, stone fireplaces and a polished lodge aesthetic. Trellis Spa adds a full destination-wellness component, while the hotel’s restaurants range from casual meals to more formal Texas-influenced dining.

The Houstonian Hotel, Club & Spa is a rare wooded urban resort set on 27 acres near central Houston, with an enormous private health club, three pools, a destination spa and warm Texas-lodge interiors.
