The Houstonian Hotel Club & Spa
The Houstonian Hotel, Club & Spa – Travel + Leisure’s #1 Resort Hotel in Texas (2025)
Nestled on 27 secluded wooded acres in the heart of Houston’s prestigious Galleria area, The Houstonian Hotel, Club & Spa is the embodiment of Texas elegance and Southern hospitality. Once the private residence of President and Mrs. George H. W. Bush, this Forbes Travel Guide Four-Star property offers a secure, tranquil retreat for discerning guests, dignitaries, and C-suite executives.
Guests enjoy complimentary access to the exclusive Houstonian Club, a 185,000-square-foot private health and fitness facility featuring three temperature-controlled resort pools, an indoor tennis center, a rock climbing wall, and over 180 weekly fitness and aquatics classes. The Club also houses The Covery, Texas’s first modern recovery and wellness center, offering cutting-edge therapies for physical and emotional rejuvenation.
The award-winning Trellis Spa, the largest luxury spa in Texas, is a Mediterranean-style sanctuary with 21 treatment rooms, full-service hair and nail salons, an indoor float pool, and serene lounges with fireplaces and Jacuzzis. Guests are pampered with world-class products like Natura Bissé and personalized services from top-tier spa professionals.
Culinary excellence is a hallmark of The Houstonian. The property boasts five distinctive dining venues, including TRIBUTE, a signature restaurant celebrating the flavors of Texas, Louisiana, and Mexico. Guests can savor poolside bites at Arbor Grill, healthy fare at The Kitchen and Refuel, and craft cocktails at The Bar & Patio, all curated by Executive Chef Gonzalo Campos. The in-house Pastry Shoppe delights with fresh brioche doughnuts, almond croissants, and honey butter rolls.
The property completed a comprehensive redesign of its Conference Center in 2025, spanning 36,400 square feet and featuring 25 indoor meeting spaces, ranging from 432 to 6,634 square feet, across two levels of the hotel. The redesign showcases a versatile palette of blues, taupes, creams, browns, and soft golds. Ballrooms, foyers, hallways, and gathering spaces are illuminated with sparkling new fixtures, including a breathtaking 35-foot chandelier of delicate ceramic leaves that appears to float through a naturally lit ballroom corridor.
The newly debuted Mesquite Room delivers a distinctly Texan experience, adorned with memorabilia from the Bush family, displays of native fish, fowl, and wild game, and a striking showcase bar highlighting rare agave spirits from Mexico and fine American whiskies. Its centerpiece, a custom board table also by H. Lancaster, is crafted with reclaimed wood from the estate barn of legendary cattle baron Shanghai Pierce,connecting today’s leaders with the enduring spirit of Texas.
In 2025, The Houstonian was honored as Travel + Leisure’s #1 Resort Hotel in Texas, a testament to its commitment to excellence in service, accommodations, and guest experience. This accolade reflects not only its world-class amenities but also the warmth and professionalism of its dedicated staff.
