We Have A Hotel

A really, really pretty, luxurious hotel.

Picking a hotel for the “wedding rate” was a big deal since around 80% of the wedding attendees will be staying there. I wanted the Hilton Americas – gorgeous, totally lux and directly across the street from The Grove. This place is huge – 1200 rooms – so the LAST thing I would have ever imagined is that it would be nearly completely booked over a year out.

Guess what? A convention is coming to town and 1000 rooms are already reserved. F’real.

So, my next thought was The Four Seasons, totally thinking ha! as if. I spoke with a lovely chick named Mandi who gave us a smokin’ rate, gave us an upgrade on our suite and was just overly helpful and awesome.

The hotel is two blocks away from The Grove and after really thinking about it (and getting over my vision of me walking across the street in my fabulous dress to the venue) its a much better choice. It puts everyone in walking distance from The Houston Pavilions, restaurants, shopping and Discovery Green. Lots to do and see for all you Houston virgins.

The details are all listed here. Check it out and start making your plans!

Also, I’ll be starting to write posts about the places Mike and I love in Houston in hopes that some of you get the chance to visit them, too.

So. Happy!
