Classic
Elegance
Meets
Texas
Charm
Houston,
a
city
of
warmth,
vibrancy,
and
surprises.
For
our
inaugural
visit,
we
anchored
ourselves
at
The
St.
Regis
-
a
brand
synonymous
with
unparalleled
service
and
timeless
luxury.
Indeed,
our
expectations
were
high,
and
the
staff
did
not
just
meet
them;
they
exceeded
them.
From
the
attentive
check-in
team,
offering
an
insider's
perspective
on
Houston's
best
shopping
and
exploration
spots,
to
the
impeccable
service
at
The
Remington
and
the
diligent
housekeeping
and
bell
staff,
the
talent
pool
here
is
exceptional.
A
personal
commendation
to
Harry
and
his
remarkable
Remington
team,
whose
jovial
demeanor
and
unrivaled
hospitality
transformed
my
indulgent
steak
and
wine
evening
into
a
delightful
memory.
Likewise,
the
breakfast
crew’s
seamless
orchestration
spoke
volumes
of
their
commitment
to
guest
satisfaction.
However,
every
rose
has
its
thorn.
Notably,
the
esteemed
butler
service,
a
hallmark
of
the
St.
Regis
brand,
remained
conspicuously
absent
during
our
stay.
It
was
only
upon
further
inquiry
that
I
learned
of
its
availability,
but
it's
not
readily
offered
unless
you
specifically
request
it.
This
is
a
stark
departure
from
other
St.
Regis
properties
like
the
original
in
New
York
and
The
St.
Regis
Atlanta,
where
the
butler
service
is
prominently
highlighted,
both
in-person
and
online.
A
fellow
diner
lamented
the
bygone
days
when
The
Remington
buzzed
with
the
vibrant
hum
of
live
music
on
weekends,
a
sentiment
I
share.
A
deserted
Friday
night
restaurant
atmosphere
dampens
the
otherwise
exquisite
culinary
experience.
While
I
was
utterly
absorbed
by
Harry's
entertaining
conversation,
the
silent
ambiance
and
omnipresent
football
games
did
little
to
complement
my
upscale
dining
experience.
A
quick
note
on
the
dessert
front
-
the
creme
brulee,
in
its
current
rendition,
could
use
a
revisit.
Sometimes,
the
charm
lies
in
tradition
and
simplicity.
Accommodation-wise,
while
the
rooms
bear
the
mark
of
time,
their
comfort
is
unquestionable,
and
the
meticulous
cleanliness
is
a
testament
to
the
diligence
of
the
staff.
The
pool,
though,
was
a
minor
letdown.
The
enticing
cabanas
and
service
portrayed
in
photographs
were
conspicuously
absent
in
reality,
making
the
room
a
more
appealing
relaxation
spot.
Would
a
refurbishing
uplift
The
St.
Regis
Houston's
charm?
Undoubtedly.
But
aesthetics
aside,
the
heart
and
soul
of
any
establishment
is
its
people.
Whether
it's
the
innate
Texas
cordiality,
the
St.
Regis
ethos,
or
an
enchanting
blend
of
both,
our
stay
was
memorable.
Service,
as
they
say,
is
the
lifeblood
of
hospitality,
and
in
that,
The
St.
Regis
Houston
shines
brilliantly.
Would
we
return?
In
a
heartbeat.
