Good Taste with Tanji - Wine, food and fun with Tanji Patton.

It was at one of the most highly acclaimed spas in the country that I discovered these incredible little shortbread cookies. Buttery, crunchy with a slight sweetness, they’re just one of the many treats you’ll find when you experience Trellis the Spa at the Houstonian firsthand…it’s terrific! In fact, Forbes gave this 17,000 square feet of pure, unadulterated bliss in the heart of trendy Uptown four stars! Any time I need a proper massage after spending days on the road, I come here and only here…they’re outstanding. Visit this portion of the Houstonian property for a manicure and pedicure (they last forever!), or plan to spend an entire day in luxury in 1 of 21 treatment rooms. The massage therapists here are incredible. Sights and sounds of the city are the furthest thing from your mind when lounging in the Tranquility Room [shown right] – ultimate relaxation!

The Houstonian is also very much equipped for any number of women’s events: bridal showers and weddings are just the tip of the iceberg. Edible amenities like Trellis’ signature Confetti Shortbread Cookies and refreshing cantaloupe juice  make this H-town hideaway one of the most desirable spa destinations in town.
