A uniquely beautiful atmosphere.
The venue features two outdoor courtyards with picturesque wrought-iron balconies and ivy-covered walls. Cited as one of Houston’s most beautiful settings for al fresco dining, this centerpiece has become a local favorite for variety of events.

Stride through the French doors and Grand Foyer and you’ll find yourself in the stately Ballroom, which welcomes up to 300 guests for a seated dinner or a cocktail reception for 550 guests, and features a reception area, stage and dance floor.

The Garden Room, a split-level Tuscan-style area overlooking the patio, can accommodate up to 170 guests for a seated dinner or a cocktail reception for 300 guests.
