The Grande Ballroom

The Grande Ballroom

The Houstonian debuts its refreshed Grande Ballroom, affectionately known as the Grand Dame of Houston for hosting the city’s most distinguished events. The Grande Ballroom now shines brighter than ever, with a wall of wooded views, scalloped 16-foot ceilings, graceful cut-crystal chandeliers, and rich architectural details awash in hues of gossamer-spun gold and blue, with taupes and cream. The 6,634-square-foot space offers a breathtaking setting for events and corporate gatherings, comfortably seats up to 600 attendees theater-style, and can be divided into two rooms for flexibility. The 2,800-square-foot Grande Foyer creates an inviting sense of arrival with stunning gold-and-taupe spun-ombré paneling and a stately fireplace that serves as the space’s focal point.
The Teak & Mahogany Boardrooms

The Teak & Mahogany Boardrooms

The distinguished executive meeting and boardroom spaces - the Mahogany and Teak Rooms - are each designed as expressions of sophistication, storytelling, and a sense of place found nowhere else in Houston. The Mahogany and Teak Rooms feature wooded views and stately millwork, carpets, Shantung wallcoverings, and custom cabinetry in stately hues of deep blue and gold. These adjoining rooms offer state-of-the-art technology and adaptable layouts that meet the demands of high-level business gatherings. The Mahogany’s one-of-a-kind board table seats 20 guests and was handcrafted in Aransas Pass by Texas artisan H. Lancaster. The 25-foot-long table is made of Brazoria County spalted pecan, mahogany, and maple wood.
The Forest Ballroom and Foyer

The Forest Ballroom and Foyer

The 4,664-square-foot Forest Ballroom features soft tones of gold and taupe, grand wooden beams, scrolled millwork, and new chandeliers that illuminate muted blue and taupe carpets. With 12-foot ceilings, a dedicated foyer for registration, breaks, or receptions, the Forest can host up to 400 guests theater-style and be divided into three separate rooms for added flexibility.

The Aspen Pre-Function

On the upper level of the Conference Center, the new meeting rooms, ballrooms, and hallways are designed to connect the indoors to the beauty just outside harmoniously. An elegant and custom-designed, 35-foot statement Ginkgo branch chandelier floats down the middle of the corridor, just outside the Aspen Ballroom. High ceilings and natural light fill the corridor from above, while curated furniture creates relaxing gathering areas for guests.
A Setting Steeped in Texas Character

A Setting Steeped in Texas Character

The newly debuted Mesquite Room delivers a distinctly Texan experience, adorned with memorabilia from the Bush family, displays of native fish, fowl, and wild game, and a striking showcase bar highlighting rare agave spirits from Mexico and fine American whiskies. Its centerpiece, a custom board table also by H. Lancaster, is crafted with reclaimed wood from the estate barn of legendary cattle baron Shanghai Pierce, connecting today’s leaders with the enduring spirit of Texas.
The Grande Terrace

The Grande Terrace

Opening in Fall 2026, the highly anticipated Grande Terrace will offer a stunning new outdoor experience. This elevated 2,400-square-foot deck will overlook lush, wooded landscapes and feature a rustic fireplace, warm architectural lighting, and inviting gathering spaces. Designed to create a memorable atmosphere from day to night, the Grande Terrace will be the perfect setting to relax, connect, and enjoy the beauty of the surrounding environment.

Legacy

Legacy

For nearly 50 years, The Houstonian has been the venue of choice for prestigious events, including the G7 Summit hosted by President George H. W. Bush. Our refreshed spaces honor this legacy with modern touches that complement our classic ambiance.
Sense of Place

Sense of Place

Because of its secluded, tucked-away setting, The Houstonian has long been a preferred destination for executives and prominent guests seeking privacy and security. The Conference Center is designed to evoke a strong historical and nostalgic sense of place that is recognizable to guests and defines Texas elegance.
