The Post Oak Hotel, Houston
The Post Oak Hotel is the crown jewel of Houston’s Uptown district and holds the prestigious distinction of being Texas’s only Forbes Five-Star hotel and spa. Opened in 2018 by billionaire entrepreneur Tilman Fertitta, the tower was designed by the renowned architect firm Gensler. It stands as a testament to modern luxury, acting as the centerpiece of a massive 10-acre mixed-use development.
What truly sets this hotel apart is its staggering attention to detail, including a world-class art collection curated by Fertitta himself, featuring works by Frank Stella and Robert Motherwell. Car enthusiasts often flock to the lobby, which famously doubles as a high-end showroom for rare Rolls-Royce, Bentley, and Bugatti vehicles. Beyond the art and cars, it houses an expansive, tranquil spa that serves as a high-end sanctuary from the busy city.
Dining here is a serious affair, as the hotel serves as the home to Bloom & Bee and the upscale Mastro’s Steakhouse. For wine lovers, the hotel’s cellar is legendary, often stocking some of the rarest vintages in the world.
Location-wise, you are perfectly positioned near the iconic The Galleria, one of the largest shopping malls in the country. The hotel is also a short drive from the lush Memorial Park and the world-renowned Museum District. Whether you are in town for business or a high-end getaway, it offers an unmatched level of service right in the middle of Houston’s energy.
Expert reviews
“Situated in the tony Uptown neighborhood, The Post Oak Hotel at Uptown Houston is redefining luxury in a sprawling city that already has it all. But having it all isn’t enough for billionaire mogul Tilman J. Fertitta, who is raising the hospitality bar for all things extravagant in the nation’s fourth-largest city.”

Very good , would return
Beautiful Glamorous property . Gorgeous room . Great bedding and lighting
The noise from the highway . The glazing on the cronies does not shut all of it out . It’s not unbearable, but for a newer 5 star hotel I would have expected the glazing to shut out the noise completely.

I was very happy to have spent my 60th birthday at the Post Oak Hotel and I will be returning.
Valet, room service, bellman service, room amenities, customer service at front desk. Ty, Charles, and Kenneth were amazing. It was my birthday and they extended themselves to ensure my stay was extra special.
Housekeeping threw away personal notes left for me by hotel staff acknowledging my birthday and also personal items that was in the bathroom.

It was great we love the hotel we’ve stayed there before
Service is wonderful
The price and the room we paid for wasn’t ready they put us in an “upgrade” room because of view of downtown Houston we had booked a corner suite they aren’t comparable

A welcome slide of luxury
Lovely spacious suite. Fabulous views.
In room gadgets were a nice touch
Bathroom was a super feature
Lovely pool area, but sadly the weather didn't allow us to use it
Not great for someone without a car but we managed with taxis

Beautiful and relaxing property with excellent and thoughtful staff!
Everything! It’s exceptionally amazing!
The beds weren’t soft enough. I expected to able to adjust and control the level of hard or softness of the mattress. That honestly was the only thing that didn’t live up to my expectations.

Beautiful with room for improvements!
The property was beautiful and I think the staff made it that much more enjoyable. The restaurants, wine bars, and others within and around were much appreciated. We were able to take advantage and enjoy a couple of places.
The room was lovely! The view was amazing and the bathtub was probably my favorite amenity lol. We’re both a sucker for a relaxing tub that we can stretch out in completely and woosah. The room was clean and we appreciated the extra touches such as the umbrella, emergency flashlight, light in the closet, tv in the bathroom, lighting options, automatic curtains, and the dual tv’s (bed and lounge areas).
There’s not anything I didn’t like. If I had any thing that I think could have been or be better this is what I’ll share. It took the hot water a while to warm up (you had to keep the cold water off initially. It could impact from the cold front so it’s understandable.), there weren’t any identifiable fans in the bathroom (especially the toilet area which was odd to me), and what would have been the fridge in our room was filled with highly overpriced items so we couldn’t really have leftovers from any of our outings.
It was actually fun looking at the item list price vs what we’ve paid for those items outside of the hotel.
I thought it was too pricey for the overall stay/experience. Don’t get my wrong it’s a beautiful hotel, in a great location, and many other things, but I do think it could be a couple hundred dollars less per night regardless of the 5-star status.
I’m glad we got to go and experience the stay as a date night/gift to my wife to wrap up the Valentine’s love week I planned.
We’ll see what the future brings on another visit.

Great experience overall. Please keep up the high standard and excellent service.
First class service.
The wardrobe in the bedroom is too small. Not enough hanging space for two people staying 3 nights at the hotel. The lobby and common areas of the hotel are freezing cold. The A.C. Was too fierce. I’m
