If you're seeking the ultimate summer retreat, you don't have to go far. The Post Oak Hotel in Uptown Houston is the epitome of luxury and class.

Tilman Fertitta's posh hotel is Houston's only AAA Five Diamond property, where guests can expect premier, personalized service and top-notch amenities, including a record-breaking wine cellar, opulent and award-winning spa, direct helicopter pad access, a designer boutique, six decadent eateries, and a two-story Rolls-Royce showroom.

Escape the stressors of the city at The Post Oak's breathtaking pool, a tropical oasis located just off the lobby. Stretch out on one of the contemporary lounge chairs and sofas or soak up the sun atop the in-water recliners perched on the Baja shelf. Those who fancy a bit of posh privacy will want to rent one of the five stylish cabanas, which are decked out with cushy furniture, a flatscreen TV, and dedicated service.

In fact, anyone soaking up the sun can avail themselves of The Post Oak's legendary guest service. Running low on sunscreen, need a cocktail refill, or feeling peckish? Simply summon a member of the staff and your requests will be delivered poolside.

Further those mermaid vibes by getting pampered at the only Forbes Five Star spa in Texas, with innovative treatments to enhance wellness and relaxation. Unwind in the plush zero-gravity chairs before heading to the aromatherapy-infused steam rooms or lounge by the tranquility pools on body-contouring hot stone daybeds. The Spa at The Post Oak is the first in the nation to partner with Cinq Mondes, the French pioneer in treatments cultivated from the world's most unspoiled regions. For a sensorial awakening, opt for Ritual of Five Worlds, the spa's signature treatment.

Complete your day of indulgence with a trip to The Salon at The Post Oak, a luxury retreat offering a range of services for men and women including haircuts, styling, and luxe nail services performed by the city's top hairstylists and cosmetologists. 

When it's time to refuel, an array of dining options is at your fingertips. The critically acclaimed Mastro's Steakhouse recently received Wine Spectator's Grand Award, joining the ranks of only 100 restaurants around the globe considered as elite destinations for wine connoisseurs and epicurean aficionados. Enjoy a private dining experience unlike any other in The Cellar, surrounded by the hotel's unrivaled wine collection with more than $3.5 million worth of inventory from over 25 countries, housing more than 30,000 bottles with vintages dating back to the 1800s. 

If you can bear to be away from the water, you'll find that The Post Oak's Uptown location puts you right in the city center, close to popular bars, restaurants, sights, and shopping.

But each time you return, you're coming back to luxe guest rooms and a quiet hideaway like the Library, which is stocked with a curated collection of books from visionary publisher Assouline.

No matter how you spend your stay at The Post Oak Hotel, there are endless opportunities for a luxurious weekend you'll never forget.
