Taking architectural cues from the iconic River Oaks neighborhood, the Auberge Houston introduces a new paradigm for urban luxury in this energetic and expansive city.
Located at the center of a new lifestyle development adjacent to the River Oaks neighborhood, the hotel and residential tower is set within a village of pavilions at its base, creating an experiential social environment for hotel guests, residents, office workers, and the public. The elegant brick and metal tower rises to include 102 hotel keys and 32 condominiums, all with spacious loggias that maximize views toward the Downtown and Galleria skylines.
Guests arrive at a landscaped drop-off court, evoking the picturesque driveways of River Oaks, and are then greeted by finely crafted brick façades that reflect the neighborhood’s intimate and historically inspired character. Windows and doorways are framed by greenery, where lush ivy contrasts with richly colored masonry. Porte cocheres welcome guests as they approach the entryways, and patterned brick paths invite guests to explore walled gardens and courtyards which offer an idyllic setting for outdoor dining.
The village at the base of the tower accommodates most of the hotel’s amenity program. The ground floor features a restaurant, bar, café, living room-style lounge, library, and an orangerie-inspired retail pavilion, planned in the style of an estate home where all spaces open onto landscaped gardens. A cathedral-ceilinged ballroom and a rooftop function space are located on the second and third floors, providing venues for weddings and other large events. Finally, level four of the podium contains a well-appointed spa and a beautifully landscaped pool deck with its own bar and café.
