Although being grounded gives us a sense of security, there is nothing quite like a refuge in the skies of one of America's most dynamic cities. Perhaps not everyone knows this, but Houston has one of the most impressive skylines in the nation, and the city is one of the largest by area in the world.

This property is perfect for those who value fantastic architecture, amenities, and beautiful classic decor and are not afraid of an experience in the heights overlooking the city's skyline.
