Alessandra Arrives

For the most finicky of friends and family, recommending a truly chic, city-center hotel in Houston has always presented a bit of a quandary.

Big on big brands, this business-centric destination hasn’t always delivered the intimate, stylishly individualistic properties that leisure travelers build experiences around – and that would pair so perfectly with an increasingly remarkable stable of things to see and do.

Times are changing though, with new entries such as the stunning Hotel Alessandra, which debuted downtown earlier this month, reinventing the landscape. And, if whispers become a reality, Houston’s hospitality scene will continue to blossom and bloom.
