Hotel Saint Augustine

At the heart of Houston’s Montrose district, the Hotel Saint Augustine is adjacent to the Menil Collection and located within blocks of the Menil Drawing Institute, the Cy Twombly Gallery, and the Rothko Chapel. Seamlessly integrating the hotel within this context, the buildings are ordered around a series of lushly landscaped courtyards, gardens, and winding paths, drawing inspiration from the low-density, residential character of the surrounding neighborhood and renowned cultural destinations.

Hotel Saint Augustine is an experience in nuanced hospitality, bringing together architecture, design, and culinary excellence in a setting that feels both intimate and effortlessly stylish... the hotel is an exercise in quiet luxury—an architectural statement that blends seamlessly into its surroundings while offering an atmosphere of curated indulgence.

Dispersed across the five buildings are a flagship restaurant and lobby bar, an intimate events space, a circular cloistered pool, and 71 guest rooms in a range of proportions and types, from 300-square-foot “micro-units” to 550-square-foot suites complete with private outdoor living space. Large windows, balconies, covered exterior stairs, and generous screened porches further blur the boundaries between inside and out.

The individual buildings are connected by accessible, open-air bridges and walkways that maintain the hotel’s residential scale while encouraging guests to explore and be immersed in nature. The buildings’ materiality also reflects a sense of deference to the surrounding neighborhood, with gray norman brick masonry facades and combed ash-wood siding that complement the design of the nearby Menil Collection, as well as the local vernacular.
