Hotel Saint Augustine, a beautifully designed hotel and wedding venue, is set to open in Fall 2024 in Houston, Texas. Nestled in the vibrant Montrose area, famously described by Texas Monthly as the “strangest neighborhood east of the Pecos,” this hotel offers an artful entryway to the city. Montrose is known as the cultural heart of Houston, renowned for its rich offerings in art, food, and nightlife. The hotel’s strategic location in this eclectic neighborhood makes it an ideal destination for visitors looking to immerse themselves in Houston’s cultural diversity.
Positioned at the center of the Montrose district, Hotel Saint Augustine stands adjacent to the Menil Collection’s Drawing Institute, contributing to the area’s artistic allure. The hotel features 71 elegantly designed rooms and suites, a restaurant, a small event space, a cozy lobby bar, and a serene circular courtyard pool. This boutique hotel’s interior is a collaborative masterpiece between Bunkhouse and the award-winning New York-based Post Company. The design reflects a harmonious balance of contrasts found in the Museum District and Houston itself, blending historic charm with modern elegance, and a deep appreciation for both history and innovation.
While Hotel Saint Augustine is not directly affiliated with the Menil Collection, it was part of Dominique deMenil’s master plan to include a small hotel within the museum campus. The hotel seeks to embody her original vision by creating a space that resonates with the artistic and cultural ethos of the area. With its opening in Fall 2024, Hotel Saint Augustine promises to be a captivating destination for both locals and visitors, offering a unique blend of luxury, culture, and history in one of Houston’s most intriguing neighborhoods.
