🧖‍♀️The perfect staycation in Houston I 🧖‍♀️The perfect staycation in Houston
I spent a night at @fshouston and I loved not having to leave my hotel for an amazing dinner or incredible drinks. Save this post for the next time you want to treat yourself!
WHERE TO EAT
🍖 @torotorohouston is now one of my favorite restaurants in town. I am still dreaming about the Peruvian ceviche, the smoked guacamole, the churrasco, and a must for dessert, La Bomba! And that pina mezcalita is now one of my favorite drinks in town.
🍽️I didn't get to try but I have heard great things about @bayouandbottle in the lobby of the hotel.
WHAT TO DO
🥃have an authentic speakeasy experience at @bandistahouston. One of the coolest drink experiences ever, just finding the bar is part of the fun. I am so picky with my drinks and every single drink I tried was GOOD!
WHERE TO STAY
🛌Stay in downtown Houston at the Four Seasons. It is probably the most comfortable bed I've ever slept on. Thanks for an amazing stay!

🍃You must add this cenote to your bucket list! 🍃You must add this cenote to your bucket list!
So I actually did this tour with my hotel & was absolutely surprised by this cenote! I love that it wasn’t as crowded and it’s very unique in that you have a platform in the middle and you can swim along the rounded walls. The water was a beautiful blue and you can see fish and apparently turtles as well! *Do note that you will have to rinse off before entering to protect the natural habitat.
You will also have the opportunity to meet the Mayans who live in the village, taste traditional food with handmade tortillas & then end it all with shopping and tequila shots, who caught that at the end? LOL
