Nadia is the best bartender I ever had. If I’m ever in Houston I will try to drink where she is at.

My Go-To Hotel from Now ON
This hotel was such a good stay I almost don’t want to tell anyone, because I want it to remain a secret. Just off the beaten path in downtown Houston enough to be convenient for friends who live locally to drive to my hotel to pick me up for dinner, and the giant covered parking pull-thru is an excellent touch. The restaurant, the patio bar, the pool, the lobby, literally every common area of this hotel looks stunning and is a good atmosphere. The room I got was a bit dated; I think the aesthetic is a bit traditional. The windows to the view could be cleaned, they were pretty clouded with pollen at the bottom. HOWEVER- the bed was the most comfortable bed I have slept on in SO LONG. The pillows were so good I had to pull back the pillowcase to find the tag and research how I could buy a set for myself at home. (Spoiler alert: You can and I did!) I was in town for work and stayed a few extra days to see friends and family (I’m originally from Houston 😎) and my boss was pretty jealous of my hotel when he saw pics heard how good the bar was. Made a nice buddy with the bartender No Way Jose!

A+ Customer Service
My sister & I returned to the Whitehall for another quick stay this past weekend (9/10) & as usual, we enjoyed the Whitehall's hospitality. It's nice to see that the same staff when we visited last year are still there. Josh is the best, always greets us with a smile & top knotch customer service. When I asked if we could upgrade our room, he gave us a wonderful room with some bonus perks (love the breakfast vouchers 😊). We used our vouchers @Edgar's enjoyed the food, but loved our conversations with the bar-stars even better, Nadia & Valerie. Nadia & Valerie mixed great cocktails & topped it off with new recommendations to visit in the surrounding area (best perk is using their shuttle to travel nearby). Also, can't forget Shirley for the seamless check-out 😊. We appreciate the quality customer service with a friendly staff that will always keep us coming back to the Whitehall💯!
