I have been to Houston twice now. Both times I enjoyed spectacular weather and amazing sights. However, being a Michigander, it doesn't take too much to impress me weather-wise - anything above 60 degrees works for me!
Weekend #1: October, 2011
The first time I visited was in October of 2011. Coming from 40 degrees to 80+ degrees was a most welcome change. The hotel we stayed in, The Houstonian, was also where my cousins' wedding reception was held. Complete with restaurants, an award-winning spa, beautiful grounds, pools, extensive gyms and luxurious rooms, this was easily the most fantastic place I have ever stayed in my life. Being surrounded by gorgeous woods made it feel as though you were miles away from the city, not right in the heart of it.
