"I saw that The Houstonian Hotel, Club and Spa in Houston is now home to two padel courts in addition to its many pools and an expansive health center, integrating padel into a broader wellness and fitness offering." - Jessica Chapel
"A welcome reprieve from urban life, this is not a place one stumbles upon just by happenstance; rather, you probably book it for a wedding or a huge family event. Either way, the sprawling grounds, lush with beautiful botanicals, offer amenities galore, including multiple swimming holes—a sports pool, a resort pool, and a garden pool—and a 175,000-square-foot health and fitness club with everything from tennis courts to Pilates classes." - Diana Oates, Mai Pham
"Spread across 27 wooded acres, this large resort-style property features three pools, an extensive spa, and a vast fitness club (about 185,000 sq ft) that offers roughly 180 group exercise classes weekly along with Pilates and yoga studios, pickleball courts, and indoor and outdoor tennis. Opened in 1980 and renovated in 2022, rooms have floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking tree-filled grounds, and guests get access to the club’s many athletic and wellness amenities plus multiple dining and drinking venues; nearby Memorial Park provides additional green-space recreation." - Pat Tompkins
"Whether sunbathing, getting in your exercise for the day, or mellowing out with a drink in hand, Houstonian has a pool for that. This hotel boasts a complete aquatics experience with one of the largest resort pools in Texas, plus lap pools, a garden pool perfect for lounging, hot tubs, and a shaded children’s wading pool. Be sure to stop by the poolside Arbor Grill, a one-stop shop for salads, light bites, and sandwiches, plus mocktails, beer, wine, and classic summer drinks, like pina coladas, frozen daiquiris, and margaritas." - Brittany Britto Garley
"This 27-acre urban oasis sits on the edge of Memorial Park just minutes from downtown Houston and is best known for its massive 185,000-square-foot health center, a well-regarded spa and consistently outstanding service. A multi-phase renovation completed in September 2022 added two state-of-the-art cycling studios, a new poolside restaurant and an acclaimed gym, making it popular with athletes, retreat-goers, luxury seekers and families." - Jackie Caradonio Jackie Caradonio Jackie Caradonio is a New York–based writer and photographer who specializes in travel, dining, sustainability, and art and design.
