I experienced the Omni Houston Hotel’s $30M re-imagination with other local bloggers. We were treated to a tour of the new public spaces, meeting rooms, spa and the Black Swan. The tour will end with a tasting of food and beverages at the La Reserve whiskey bar.
“The Fire Place”
As soon as I walked in, the flames caught my eyes. This is my favorite spot of the hotel. It’s not actual fire but mist with added LED light to create fiery effect. So cool !
The Gift Shop
I love hotel gift shops because they’re life savers! There is always last minute errands to run… This gift shop screams LUXURY!

The Private Dining Area
I loved it so much. This would be perfect for rehearsal dinners, family dinners or bridal showers. The decor is so simple and love the subtle colors.
The Black Swan
Houston’s second oldest night club! You can book it for holiday parties, company events , wedding parties …etc ! So posh, loved the ambiance!
La Reserve Whiskey Bar
Over 99 whiskey types and you are served by true mixologist that can make you pretty much anything you can think of.

The pink drink is the Cosmo Redux and the other is the Bee Hive which I LOVED!!
This is the Mole Old Fashioned. The three coffee beans symbolize prosperity , health and happiness!
