Why Texas Is the New Center of Gravity for Luxury Hotels
Exclusive: Auberge Resorts plans a posh new hotel in Houston, one of five properties it will operate around the state.

When the Commodore Perry Estate opened three years ago in a 1928 Italianate mansion in Central Austin, it instantly established a new standard of hospitality in the city and became a fixture on roundups of favorite hotels, including Condé Nast Traveler’s Gold List and Travel + Leisure’s World’s Best Awards. It was also a beachhead of sorts for the luxury boutique resort operator behind the hotel, Auberge Resorts Collection.
The Commodore Perry was not only the first Texas hotel run by Auberge—best known at the time for such intimate getaways as Napa Valley’s Auberge du Soleil and Aspen’s Hotel Jerome—it was the company’s first urban hotel anywhere. Fast-forward three years, and Auberge has announced projects it will operate in a few other cities around the world, including Miami, San Francisco, and Florence, Italy—and, notably, several more in Texas. Now totaling 27, the company’s resorts today span the globe from Punta de Mita, Mexico (about 25 miles northwest of Puerto Vallarta, on the Pacific coast), to Santorini, Greece.
The latest addition to the portfolio, Auberge executives have revealed to Texas Monthly, will be in Houston, just outside the tony River Oaks neighborhood. That property, the Birdsall, is scheduled to open in late 2026. It will include a 105-room hotel and 44 private residences. As at the Commodore Perry, the amenities will be accessible to locals who buy a membership to the resort’s private club.
