"Walking into the Four Seasons is like stepping into an exclusive club that's been around for ages. Originally opened in 1982, the hotel has played host to the likes of A-listers, professional athletes, and copious high-profile guests. In 2022, a five-year, multi-million-dollar renovation was completed, with the spa, fitness center, and all guest rooms transformed. If you only have time to do one thing on-property, make it a drink at Bandista. The 1920s-style speakeasy, listed as one of North America’s 50 Best Bars, offers a slew of inventive cocktails. The pan-Asian restaurant, Toro Toro, masterminded by chef and restaurateur Richard Sandoval, won't disappoint either. The family-friendly hotel occupies a prime central location downtown, just steps from the convention center, which means it gets its fair share of business travelers, and for good reason: With its stellar staff, amenities, and accommodations, the Four Seasons is second to none in The Bayou City." - Diana Oates, Mai Pham
