The Houstonian Hotel

Visitors to Houston often find the vast amount of concrete highways overwhelming, but those who find themselves staying at the Houstonian Hotel are relieved to know there is much more to Houston than concrete. The Houstonian Hotel is located in the midst of gardens and is an oasis of wooded areas right in the heart of the city. The hotel stands on 18 acres of wooded land and every window of the hotel places the wooded view on full display. The wooded views give a tranquil vibe to guests of the hotel.

Every guest of the Houstonian Hotel can choose to experience those views from four different types of suites. The hotel has a deluxe guest room with high technology features such as flat panel HDTV, gourmet coffee makers, and rotating electrical outlets. The Executive Suites are a 960 square foot space of hardwood floors, garden tubs, and luxury furnishings. The Capitol Suite is over 1,100 square feet and has wood paneled walls, a 29-inch euro top mattress and remote controlled fireplace. It is also a suite that properly accommodates professionals by offering a printer, copier, and fax machine. The largest suite is the Presidential Suite which is 1,336 square feet. The Presidential Suite has a private kitchen, Jacuzzi tub, and pillow-top neck massager. Every suite is equipped with a personal electronic safe.

The gym at the Houstonian Hotel is significantly more elaborate than other hotels in the area. The gym has state of the art equipment and a running trail that wraps around the length of the gym. More than thirty personal trainers and fitness experts offer classes in group exercise, aquatics, and information on nutrition services. The gym at the Houstonian Hotel is so prominent that it is host to a NFL draft program for college football players who can pay to train with Ben Fairchild and his team of experts. Over one hundred exercise classes take place in the gym on a weekly basis making it the best hotel gym in the state of Texas, and arguably the best overall gym in Houston.

Because of the enormous property on which the Houstonian Hotel is located, the spa was easily built on the acreage in a separate 17,000 square-foot spa house called Trellis Spa. The Trellis Spa house has 10 rooms for body, 6 rooms dedicated to the face, two VIP rooms, and one hydrotherapy room. The spa is decorated in a Mediterranean style that is reminiscent of the some of the Modern buildings along the border of Spain. The building is covered in soft stucco and is U-shaped so that it surrounds a courtyard with well cared for gardens. Custom services are also available at Trellis such as treatments catering to men, teens, and mothers-to-be.

There are two main restaurants located in the Houstonian Hotel; The Olivette which features a Mediterranean accent menu and a relaxed and romantic atmosphere. Halibut, Grilled Tenderloin and Snapper are some of the main entrees that guest will find on the menu. The Manor House is a second restaurant in the Houstonian Hotel where guest can dine.
