The property features 172 guestrooms, including 34 suites, all designed with floor-to-ceiling windows and custom-made furnishings evoking the spirit of old Texas. The interiors showcase warm earthy colors, organic materials, brass fixtures, and hardwood floors, paying homage to the hotel's natural setting near Buffalo Bayou Park.
