"The Houstonian, a welcome reprieve from urban life, is not a place one stumbles upon just by happenstance; rather, you're probably here for a wedding or huge family event. The sprawling grounds, which are lush with beautiful botanicals, have amenities galore, including a number of pools—a sports pool, a resort pool, a garden pool—as well as a 175,000-square-foot health and fitness club offering everything from tennis to Pilates." - Diana Oates
