Modern comforts meet vintage charm at the world renowned Houstonian which offers  a haven of warmth and hospitality in every detail. It is convenient to both city airports. Situated amid the 18-wooded acres of towering pines and magnificent oaks in the heart of the Galleria area. The Houstonian is an exquisite hotel accompanied with a plethora of amenities and first- class services ranging from a state of the art fitness facility to a 5-star boutique spa. Visitors are promptly greeted by beautifully wooded landscape that includes a one-mile trail, ideal for a relaxing stroll or rigorous jog. Convenience and hospitality are the standard for Houstonian guests.

“OK, we’ll ‘fess up. Sometimes we do a little bit of scouting at the gym. But this place takes it to a different level, considering it is the spot of choice for college football stars to train for the NFL Combine every year. Not only does this resort have a rock-climbing wall, but it has everything you need to train like a true athlete including indoor and outdoor running tracks, tennis and racquetball courts, a pool, and more than two dozen personal trainers. ” -SELF Magazine

Their spa services are second to none. The Trellis Spa is one of Texas’ select Four-Star spas, offering 17,000 square feet of relaxation and pampering. With more than 100 services including:  facials, body treatments, tanning, massages, nail services, hair services, professional makeup and more. Additionally, they offer custom services for bridal showers, men, couples, mothers-to-be, teens and special occasions.  The spa provides luxurious locker rooms with Jacuzzi tubs and steam room; relaxation rooms and comfortable lounge with a fireplace which doubles as a “napping” retreat. My spa service favorite is their Natura Bisse’ Signature Facial. It’s pure bliss, specially created to meet client’s dermatological needs.

The Houstonian offers a host of dining options, including Olivette which is the hotel’s premier restaurant, blending Mediterranean charm with regional American dishes. Their dishes are simply divine and the desserts are delectable!
