The Houstonian Hotel, Club & Spa

Houston, Texas

At first glance the Houstonian may appear to be just another urban hotel focused on business travelers and conference groups. What sets it apart, however, is a setting in an 18-acre wooded oasis in the heart of Houston and guest access to the otherwise members-only Houstonian Club, a Texas-sized 125,000-square-foot health and fitness center that shares that wooded footprint. Late in 2009, the Club raised its tennis profile by building a four-court indoor tennis complex to complement the five lighted Deco-Turf courts outside. With 40-foot ceilings, abundant windows high in the walls, high-quality florescent lighting, and a cushioned hard surface called Classic Turf, this indoor facility makes playing year-round both feasible and enjoyable. The roster of tennis programs, under Racquet Sports Director Mike May, naturally focuses on the needs of members but, says May, "guests have full membership privileges." That means access to men's and ladies clinics, men's drop-in sessions, and a junior program. "We also do our best to set guests up with games, if that's what they need," May continues.
