The Laura Hotel, Autograph Collection has officially opened its doors in Houston’s lively central business district. Featuring 223 contemporary guest rooms, a restaurant and a bar serving upscale Southern cuisine, the 21-story hotel was named after the steamship that city founders navigated to solidify Houston as a center of industry and opportunity. 

Guest amenities include a rooftop pool, a fully equipped fitness center, and a full-service spa salon, slated to debut in spring 2022. The hotel will also offer programming and events, such as a monthly wine tasting, on-site cigar events, and a rotating local musician series.
