The Best 5 Star Hotels in Houston

Hotel Granduca

Considering it's largest city in Texas, it makes sense that Houston has plenty of luxury 5 star hotels - from gourmet stays headed by celebrity chefs and Italian-inspired boutiques to pampering hotels offering romantic helicopter rides above the city at night, and hotels specialising in good old fashioned Texan elegance. Yep, we've covered all of Houston's best 5 star hotels. All you have to do is pick your favourite from this list of the best 5 star hotels in Houston, and enjoy!

For a Gourmet stay

Four Seasons Houston

  • Four Seasons Houston is one of the most unique 5 star hotels in Houston. Whether it's dining at Bayou and Bottle overseen by celebrity chef Richard Sandoval, enjoying one of the hotel's signature hydrofacial massages in the spa, or playing golf on the virtual fairway found in the Top Golf Swing Suite, you'll be spoiled rotten here. The classic, Art Deco rooms have four-posters, marble bathrooms and some of the suites come with a pool. True luxury.

Luxury boutique

Pool

  • You can expect luxury as standard at Hotel Granduca. After all, it's inspired by the life of Adalberto Malatesta, Grand Duke of Monfallit. From the Saturday evening jazz concerts in Giorgio's Bar to the high-ceilinged, warm, vintage rooms with their heavy drapes and sink-into beds, it's a stylish yet homely stay. The swimming pool is another highlight: surrounded by statues and lined with green ivy-clad walls like the courtyard of a Roman villa. The best luxury 5 star boutique in Houston.

For Romance

Pool

  • Post Oak Hotel Uptown is an affair of luxury grandeur. Firstly, it has its own multimillion dollar art collection; secondly, there's the twee cafe, where even the furniture looks like candy. Then there's the sprawling spa, with its aromatherapy, and its nail salon, to pamper you silly. Couples wanting to splash out on romance will go giddy at the prospect of a private helicopter ride above Houston's bright neon skyline armed with a bottle of bubbly. Plus, there's terrace dining at night beside the blue-lit pool, and a choice of over 4 restaurants. Wow.

Texan elegance

The Library

  • 12 floors of 5 star luxury in Houston, the St Regis has plenty to offer. There's the afternoon tea - a serious, multi-faceted affair; the Wine Room boasts a ludicrously large collection of fine Californian wines, and the wood-panelled Remmington Bar is like a pre-war gentleman's club. You can unwind beside the roaring fireplace in the leather-furnished lounge, relax in the spa, or just kick back in one of the light-filled, classically elegant rooms.
