Experience the luxury of The Woodlands by visiting for the night or staying for the weekend in one of the luxury suites at The Woodlands Waterway Marriott or The Woodlands Resort. Both have world-class spas that would be happy to welcome you and your loved one for a couple’s massage, facials or manicures and pedicures.
If you’re looking to go a more classic dinner and drinks route, The Woodlands has an excellent assortment of restaurants from fine dining to casual meals that will have you home in time to relieve your babysitter. One of our favorites is Jasper’s, a restaurant that specializes in classic cookout flavors with elevated twists. Right outside of Jasper’s doors is Market Street, an open-air shopping square where you can treat your loved one to a romantic carriage ride. Find out more information on how to book here.
If you want a more unique experience, head north to Tomball to experience traditional southern flavors. Housed at the one-time site of Tomball’s downtown cattle auction is Bratigam’s Bar-n-Grill. The restored barn is the perfect venue for enjoying sizzling steaks and burgers, savory salads, and drinks from the restaurant’s full bar.
Another creative option is Bonfire Grill on Main Street in Tomball. This restored gas station only has 44 seats, so you better grab a table while you can. Tasty gourmet fare, infused cocktails, and Texas whiskey make you feel right at home in this small town.
