All I have to say is wow! I recommend this spa to all of my friends. Being a spaist (made up word)...I have had the chance to visit many types of spas around the world (I basically try to visit a spa everywhere I go, because I can). The Trellis Spa, which is down the street from where I work, is a work of art. Even though I may not seem like your typical type of person to be seen at a spa (basically not rich) the staff treated me like I was queen (i have had bad experience of being mistaken for the staff at another spa once, not pleasant). When I walked in and I said my name, they knew exactly where I was to go. I came very early in the morning because I had 5 hours of services (booyah!). I was shown to a very deserted locker room (nice privacy in the mornings), and given a robe. Let me tell you something, the robe did not fit. I am a busty woman and I was afraid they were going to tell me it was the largest size they had....no such thing, they had a plus size robe that would have charmed the pants off any busty woman. I was set. There are two saunas in the womens area and a whirlpool. You could use a bathing suit or not. I am more of a free spirit, but I did not want to make others uncomfortable so I settled for a lay by the warm pool and some refreshing water while waiting for my first treatment which was a massage. The waiting area for the massage has two areas a regular area with couches and chaise lounges and chairs with ottomans, and the quiet area with chaises, a fireplace and ultimate silence. I stayed in the regular area before my massage (it was still early and I was the only one there). My massage therapist was an amazing woman (nothing against men therapist, but I feel like I can be open more with a woman...not in that sense crazies). She was magnificent and got all the areas we talked about. I then had an early lunch due to my having a Mani/Pedi next. The chicken Caesar wrap was awesome and perfectly portioned. Did not make me too full and the glass of wine relaxed me even more. By this time the spa is getting more people and it is time for my Mani/Pedi. The same lady does my nails and my toes and she is hilarious. I know some people dont like to talk during spa time, but since the Mani/Pedi room is separate sort of from the rest of the spa, it was nice to listen to the woman talk about her life in NY and her family. She had me cracking up. Finally it is time for my last service, a facial. By this time the place is crawling with people and I opt to go into the silent room. it is really nice...I almost fall asleep until I see my technician looking for me in the regular room. I feel like jelly and I am ready for the facial. It was so soothing and relaxing I am pretty sure I fell in and out of consciousness , and snored a little bit. That is how relaxed I felt around the technician. After this last service, I know I can relax some more and hang out in the sauna, but I had already tried everything included and I was ready to go...I had to get back to real life (being at trellis I felt like I was in another city...it was awesome). It was time to get back to Houston traffic. All in all I still recommend this spa to everyone who ask me for a place to go. I cant wait to be able to go again. Everyone at least in my opinion were super accommodating and nice. I can say that because I have been to some spas that acted like they didnt even want your service...weird!

We were upgraded to the concierge floor as part of our Visa benefits. This floor has a lobby with access to free food and drinks. The service is great and the staff tends to try and work with you even if youre being difficult. We ordered room service and left our "do not disturb" indicator on, so they left the goods and then called or room to notify us that it was there. The grounds are beautiful with three restaurants, one café, a tennis court and an extensive nature-woven walk/jogging trail. The hotel itself has what people would call "rustic". To me, it looks like something out of a murder mystery. I personally do not prefer this, but if you like country styled homes and buildings, the lobby should look somewhat familiar and welcoming. My only real compliant is that the parking is not free even if you self park, which is a common trend for this part of Houston. UPDATE: After getting the bill, we reviewed the charges with the staff up front. Everything looked normal. When we got back to our car, we noticed that two $16 breakfast meals somehow added up to $45. When I called to ask about this, they said a gratuity and delivery charge were added. None of those charges were mentioned in the menu, so Im not very happy about that. We also called before hand to see if the $25 food and beverage credit was per day. We were told yes before booking, but upon checkout from our two day stay, we saw only one food credit and were informed the credit is per night. If you dont mind being nickel and dimed, this is a decent place to stay.

The only reason why i give 3 stars is because I went to the pool and the guards of the pool ask me to change my bikini or leave the pool because my bikini supposedly was not decent for then. My bikini was perfectly fine and decent. Plus im 5 months pregnant and i wear what makes me feel beautiful. They want u to get in the pool dressed. After that I went to the hotel shop to buy a new swimsuit bc I didnt want to be bother again (which btw my bikini was the exactly same brand and model they had at the shop just different color) and the manager Larissa called me and apologized about the incident and the hotel give me the bikini as a courtesy for the inconvenient. Was nice how they handled the situation and admitted they were wrong. Other thing was the concierge club, they offered a acess to the concierge club for 35dl per day and they said that was a breakfast and pastry and drinks included in tha price. But the breakfast that was served it was hard boiled eggs and a variaty of 3 bread, muffins and fruits. If you really likes hotels breakfast i dont think it worth it... the restaurant is amazing and not expensive, so will be better for you to save your 35 dl and spend at the restaurant instead with concierge club. Overall the hotel is super nice and is a very relaxing environment. Good food, service, pool and spa!

The Houstonian Hotel is by far one of Houstons most tucked and preciously hidden gems (that description made it sound as if I were describing testicles..Im not) With its oak and wood ladened walls and pillars..not to mention the deer head sticking out of the wall, the Houstonian screams "Texas" in my opinion. Its a bit older but is still breath taking. The best part is the drive in. As you round the corners and drive through the beautiful green terrain to the hotel is just gorgeous. So gorgeous that to this day I cant tell you what the front of the hotel looks like. I visited Olivette for HRW 2014 and the food was good. The staff and service were top notch. Was at an event this past week and the power went out. No one freaked, I honestly didnt know the power went out until I went to the restroom and noticed neon green glow sticks everywhere. I just took one and walked back into the party! The parking garage was pitch black too but we had glow sticks so we were fine. Smart and fast problem solving is what makes a business efficient. They know what they are doing at the Houstonian.
