Guide Review - The Houstonian

The Houstonian is surprising for many reasons. Not only is The Houstonian one of Houston's most elegant, upscale hotels, it also features a world-class spa and exercise facility, tennis courts, a golf course, elegant dining and more. However, the biggest suprise is that all of this is found right in the heart of Houston, the nation's fourth-largest city. Situated on Post Oak Lane, conveniently near the renowned Galleria shopping mall, The Houstonian is surprisingly private, thanks to its 18-acre wooded location. This seclusion not only gives guests an air of privacy, but also lends itself to a relaxing escape from the hustle and bustle of the surrounding city. Guests also have access to two fine golf courses - the Redstone and Blackhorse. The Houstonian also features a 125,000 square foot health and exercise facility, which is located adjacent to the hotel. And, of course, guests also have access to the Trellis Spa, which is known as one of Houston's finest. Regardless of whether you are traveling to Houston for business or pleasure, if you are hoping to find time to relax and be pampered, The Houstonian just may be the place for you.
