Houston, first founded at the banks of the Buffalo Bayou has grown exponentially over the last century to become America’s fourth-largest city today. With rich historic sites to natural escapes, sports and recreational facilities, art and entertainment; there is plenty to explore in Houston. But just like me, you wouldn’t know where to start. So here’s what I would do to figure out this exciting city.

After soaking in the beauty of the 64-foot semi-circular architectural marvel head back to the hotel by their free shuttle service available for the 3-mile radius. Gaze at the hotel’s striking glass chandelier or unwind at the private balcony of the guest room.
