"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.

"Set on 18 literally green acres, this amenity-rich hotel feels like a secluded retreat among the towering pines, sprawling oaks, and manicured grounds—despite its proximity to the bustling Loop 610 and the Galleria. It affords so much peace and quiet, along with accessibility, that President George H. W. and Barbara Bush used the Houstonian as their home address while he was in office, and stayed on property during visits back to Houston. The lobby has a warm, luxury lodge feel with soaring ceilings, wood details, and a massive stone fireplace. Guest rooms feel more elegant and traditional, with lavish textures and verdant floor-to-ceiling views. Every room has a 42-inch HDTV, complimentary Wi-Fi, a Keurig coffeemaker, and terrycloth bathrobes. (There are 67 concierge-level rooms that include daily continental breakfast, after-dinner sweets and cordials, plus additional services.) For the nature-minded, there’s a mile-long walking trail around the serene property."
