The Post Oak Hotel at Uptown Houston’s reputation precedes it. It comes as no surprise, then, that one of the hotel’s most exclusive abodes – the Presidential Suite – is among the finest in Texas. The two-bedroom suite exudes glitz and glamour, with a striking monochromatic color scheme, and an abundance of marble with glittering chandeliers suspended from every ceiling.

A favored spot among celebs visiting the city, the 5,000-sq-ft suite is ideal for those looking to keep a low profile thanks to its private elevator access and secluded terrace. Guests hoping to completely unwind and relax will delight in the exercise room which comes with its own massage bed. The suite also boasts a particularly noteworthy lavish marble bathroom and its own media room.

Head to the hotel’s 20,000-sq-ft spa for a more comprehensive spa day. Exceeding all expectations for a city spa, the facility features a pool, sauna and a ‘Biohacking’ facial machine for non-invasive facelifts. There’s also a salon with expert stylists on-hand and a fitness center with 24-hour access to Technogym’s advanced cardio and strength training, plus two Peloton bikes.

When it comes to dining there’s so much choice it would be easy never to step foot outside the hotel. Among the offerings is a gourmet steakhouse, a contemporary seafood eatery, and a laid-back pizzeria. The hotel is also home to a Parisian patisserie helmed by an award-winning pastry chef and a vibrant wine bar offering close to 60 wines by the glass. For real oenophiles, it’s well worth stopping in at the 30,000-bottle cellar for a tour with one of the hotel’s sommeliers.

Situated on the West Loop South in Uptown Houston, The Post Oak Hotel is a short drive from the Galleria upmarket shopping mall and a collection of fine dining restaurants and bars.
