Spectacular Opulence

The Post Oak Hotel At Uptown Houston

By Helen Balensiefen Bow

When people refer to something as the “Rolls Royce of its kind,” it means that it’s the most luxurious or of the highest quality. The Post Oak Hotel at Uptown Houston ultra-luxe hotel fits the bill. Positioned on 10 acres and 38-stories high, the hotel is beyond opulent. “Houston has never had a property like this, and I wanted to be the one to deliver it,” Tilman Fertitta, Houston billionaire and CEO of Landry’s, Inc., Golden Nugget Casinos and the Houston Rockets said of its debut in 2018.

“The Post Oak will stand up to the world’s best hotels. Guests will see the attention to detail we put into every touchpoint and the level of luxury they will not find anywhere else in Houston. It will certainly be a game changer.” A gamechanger, it is.

Luxury Guest Room

It was the attention to detail that defined Claire Brandani’s stay at the hotel for an anniversary getaway with her husband Ron. “Our room was super posh and elegantly decorated. The bed linens were luxurious 500-count Egyptian cotton, and when you stepped out of the bed in the dark, a light gently illuminated the carpeted flooring,” she said. “The wow factor extended to the bathroom. In addition to a beautiful, tiled shower was a huge soaking tub, complete with Acqua Di Parma bath products and a 27-inch TV.”

The rooms are spacious, ultra-modern, and offer incredible views of the Houston skyline. The bathrooms are spa-like, bed linens and bath towels are made Egyptian cotton, and the minibar is stocked with indulgent Dean & Deluca gourmet treats. Pets are even treated like royalty — provided with a plush dog bed and a room service menu (including filet mignon) is available around the clock.

The Luxury King Rooms, on three designated floors, include concierge lounge access where chef-prepared food and drinks are available.

Suites

The Executive, Classic, and Post Oak Suites offer the same amenities as the luxury guest room and more. They come in different sizes, offer varying views of the skyline, some include concierge lounge access, some offer panoramic views.

The 5,000 square-foot Presidential Suite is the crème de la crème. For $12,000 a night, dignitaries, celebrities, and those who simply enjoy self-indulgence have access to two bedrooms, a private office, fitness room, living room, dining room, private elevator access from the parking garage and heliport, a butler pantry with 24-hour butler service (available upon request), and a secluded 350 square-foot terrace with northwest views of the Houston skyline.

SPA, POOL, FITNESS

The 20,000-square-foot spa, simply called, The Spa, received the prestigious Forbes Five-Star rating for its essential treatments, firstclass service and lavish offerings. It is the only spa in Texas rated as such and only one of 31 in the nation to receive this honor.
