After another week-long stay at the Houstonian I am quite frankly needing a rest. After being shown to a concierge-level room that had 2 queen beds (we had reserved and guaranteed a King), we were moved to a 3rd floor room overlooking the old hotel pool. Yes, the one right outside the windows where there are frequent water exercise classes... More

We checked in on a Friday afternoon and were dang reluctant to leave Saturday morning, even after a cozy room-service breakfast. From the L’Occitane toiletries, which captured my manly guy, to the comfortable bed, to the warm lobby fireplace, our stay was perfect. We can understand now why The Houstonian gets rave reviews -- and we can't wait to return. More

I visited the Houstonian for a conference and I was happy with my room and the service I received. The rooms are clean and comfortable, though the HVAC was loud (one of my pet peeves). The hotel has a nice spa and walking trails on the property. There is a really nice running trail about a mile and a half... More

This is a well-managed property with a well trained and dedicated staff. Little things like the person who is assigned to greet people as they arrive to help them find the right meeting room or restaurant...nice touches. The lounge is warm and comfortable with a impressive fireplace. The rooms are traditional in design but things are relatively new and in... More

The Houstonian is a pleasant, lively hotel located in the galleria area of Houston and close to highways. The hotel is spacious, comfortable, with very good service. Staff handled large groups well. We were there for a wedding and all went well. However, if I were staying by myself I might choose a more cozy or personal hotel. For those... More

I think it was ok overall, but probably won't return. The circle drive is usually 4 deep in cars and congested most of the time. The food was ok, the room really really dark - almost a cave like setting. the staff were great, the concierge room ok - nothing special at this level of hotel though. Lots of meetings... More

The Houstonian needs to decide what it really wants to be when it grows up - one that emphasizes the quality of individual guest experiences, or one that wants to cater to large groups such as weddings and conventions. Right now it is trying to do both, and the result is a generally poor experience if you are a couple... More

I stayed at The Houstonian for 2 separate week long visits in December 2011. Back in its day, The Houstonian would have been the place to stay however now the hotel feels tired and in need of modernising. Everything is very brown and has an eighties vibe to it. On a plus side the staff are great. Really good concierge... More
