I can't remember the last time I was in Houston for the weekend. This past month has been filled with many adventures & I can't complain. This past weekend, I had the opportunity to have a staycation & check out one of Houston's newest hotels Hotel Alessandra. It's located in Downtown Houston, right near Green Street which is a fun area for shopping, eating and live outdoor activities.

Right when I walked into the hotel I was mesmerized by the staircase leading up to a marble wall, which is my favorite. The whole hotel had this modern feel with splashes of gold, green and black/white marble. I was definitely excited to stay & explore.

Honestly, if you look at the pictures of the room I believe it speaks for itself. I was in love with the setup and the design. Its been awhile since I've walked into a hotel and thought "Hmmm, can I move in?" I will point out a few things that I loved about the room.

1. The bathroom was perfect! Not only the look of it but the shower was huge & had its own stool for you to sit on. I mean this may be personal but I often sit in the shower and just think to myself; so this was perfect to me. Another great thing, was the separation of the shower and the toilet. They each had their own door, which I appreciated.

2. They had built-in USB plugins on the nightstand. I didn't have to get up from my bed to grab my phone while it charged. As I write this I realize how lazy I sound being happy about sitting in the shower and a USB plug right by my bed. Haha. Anyways, it's the little things.

3. Last, but not least, probably the most important when sleeping somewhere else...the bed! It was super comfortable and I couldn't even keep my eyes open when I layed on it! It was so soft that I even took a video falling onto it because it didn't hurt. I love me a soft bed. I mean I still think mine is the best, but they did amazing at trying to beat it!

Amenities: The spa was by far my favorite part of the amenities they offered. The general manager was super helpful and very knowledgeable about the products & services they provide. I loved that she allowed me to ask as many questions as I wanted without ever looking annoyed. I tend to ask a alot especially when I have never had a facial before and I was about to get a hydra facial.

There were two things the Spa by Hotel Alessandra offered that captured my attention. First, it isn't exclusive to hotel guest. You can actually come visit the spa as a local, which is pretty cool. Second, they have a deal for people working in the area. There is a package which I believe is called the 'Healthy Hour' where you pay a fee & will receive a 30 min massage plus a meal 'to go' from the hotel restaurant. They know many people don't have time to take out of there busy schedules to focus on relaxing, so this helps people use some of their lunch break to relax yet fill their stomachs. I love the idea and encourage anyone in Downtown to check it out.
