The Houstonian Hotel, Club & Spa invites guests into a magical holiday wonderland. Guests can stroll through the 27-acre wooded property and take in the festive decor with over 30,000 ornaments, 4,500 feet of garland, and 18 Christmas trees.

In addition to a dazzling display of Christmas decor, including a life-sized sleigh and towering Christmas trees, the hotel’s expansive lobby, affectionately dubbed the Great Room, will offer its iconic presentation of Merry Mansions gingerbread houses. Hundreds of hours go into baking, decorating, and assembling the treasured treats.

Guests can also have the scents and colors of the holidays delivered to their room with a colorful arrangement from the hotel’s onsite floral studio, Sage’ n’ Bloom. Approximately 12″ high, the arrangement will contain red Panther Roses from Ecuador nested in the greens of fir, pine, and cedar.

Add a bit of romance to the holidays with Mistletoe Moments where couples can steal a kiss under the huge mistletoe ball at the “most kissable place in the city.” Hung in grand style above the iconic Great Room Lobby staircase, the inspiring installation is the perfect place for couples looking for a special memory, or an Instagram-worthy photo op with kissing hashtag #houstoniankisses2023. The hotel is giving away a New Year’s Eve couples package for the post with the most likes on Instagram. Participants must tag @houstonianhotel and use the hashtag to enter.

The magic doesn’t stop indoors; kids and adults alike will revel in thousands of twinkling lights as they step out onto the hotel’s meadow and experience the glow of the century-old Live Oak tree. It is the perfect backdrop for photos and simply enjoying the cozy season.

Enjoy family-friendly experiences

Festivities don’t have to end as guests leave the bustling Great Room for the sanctuary of their well-appointed room or suite – they are invited to bring seasonal wonder with them. Families can enjoy a miniature Merry Mansion of their own, freshly baked and delivered to their room. The gingerbread house kit includes two bags of icing, colorful candies, and a keepsake box perfect for traveling.

Pint-sized guests’ eyes will light up in wonder at their very own Holiday Hideout. Delivered prior to arrival, families will create magical memories with a campsite tent setup that includes a portable teepee tent, twinkling lights, plush pillows, and an overstuffed giant teddy bear, along with freshly baked treats and a keepsake bear to take home.

Festive Feasting and Celebratory Drinks

The festive decor, live music, and weeks-long celebration at The Houstonian Hotel, Club & Spa make the hotel ideal for a holiday dinner at TRIBUTE or a jolly gathering of friends and family at The Bar. The Bar’s holiday-inspired cocktail menu includes fun and seasonally named drinks including Bayou Bender, Ginger Man Fizz, Chocolate Mint Martini, Starry Night, and Mrs. Claus’ Martini. Thanks to Houston’s mild temperatures, guests can take full advantage of relaxing with a cocktail on The Bar’s newly expanded outdoor patio.

Guests can also savor a taste of the holidays with a Bûche de Noël. This festive and beautiful holiday treat can be traced back to Paris in 1870 and symbolizes the warmth of hearth and home. Made with edible snowflakes, creamy white chocolate mousse, apple compote, and spice cake, the Bûche de Noël can be delivered to guests’ rooms or tableside at TRIBUTE.

Pair the delicious seasonal dessert with in-room bubbly. Guests can raise a glass or a bottle of Ruinart Blanc de Blancs to the House of Ruinart, the first established House of Champagne. The bottle, or any delicious wine and champagne selection from TRIBUTE, can be delivered to guests’ rooms along with two flutes for toasting.
