The Birdsall, Auberge Resorts Collection is set to open in 2027 in Houston

Scheduled to open in 2027, The Birdsall, Auberge Resorts Collection is poised to become Houston’s newest luxury landmark, bringing Auberge’s world-renowned hospitality to the heart of River Oaks. Appointed by Transwestern Development Company, Auberge Resorts Collection will manage this boutique property that aims to blend the distinct architectural heritage of River Oaks with an elevated hospitality experience. The Birdsall promises 105 guest rooms, 44 exclusive residences, and a private members’ club, all within a vibrant, urban enclave called The RO.

Paying homage to River Oaks’ architectural roots, The Birdsall is designed by Kohn Pedersen Fox (KPF) in partnership with acclaimed New York-based interior design firm Roman and Williams, who will bring their mastery of historical depth and craftsmanship to the hotel interiors. The Birdsall’s exterior features reclaimed brick and a distinctive design to mirror the neighbourhood’s storied past, while Roman and Williams’ interiors will create spaces that range from 413-square-foot Studio Rooms to the expansive 2,548-square-foot Presidential Suite, embodying the spirit and laid-back grandeur of Houston’s elite neighbourhood.

Houston’s own Dillon Kyle Architects has been entrusted with designing the 44 residences within The Birdsall, creating spaces that merge high-end design with the comforts of home. These two-to-four-bedroom residences will feature floor-to-ceiling windows that bring in abundant natural light and offer panoramic views of the city’s skyline and surrounding tree canopies. Each unit, crafted with exquisite materials, boasts expansive terraces and private elevator entries for the ultimate privacy.

For added exclusivity, three- and four-bedroom residences come with direct access to a range of private amenities, such as a covered open-air swimming pool, outdoor entertainment areas, a summer kitchen, and a game room. In line with Auberge’s emphasis on wellness, residents will also have access to fitness facilities and a pet-friendly space designed for relaxation and recreation.

Claiming over half of the first floor, The Birdsall’s private members’ club will be Houston’s new social epicentre, encompassing spaces for both relaxation and socializing. A thoughtfully designed private garden and European-style café set the tone for a serene environment. Members can enjoy exclusive access to a convivial bar, a library, and an outdoor terrace ideal for Houston’s year-round dining.

This club provides a range of experiences for residents and members, combining stylish comfort with a welcoming atmosphere, and transforming the property into a dynamic gathering space. Residents and members alike will be able to enjoy exclusive services, enhancing the daily living experience with the benefits of fine dining, wellness, and a sense of community.

As part of the 17-acre urban village that is The RO, The Birdsall will house the district’s finest dining experiences, adding a culinary dimension to River Oaks that locals and visitors alike will appreciate. Set on the ground floor with indoor and outdoor dining areas, the property’s restaurant will feature chef-driven, locally relevant menus. A seasonal selection of world-class cuisine will be offered throughout the week, with a vibrant bar and a terrace that blends seamlessly into the district’s social scene.

The RO itself is a meticulously planned space featuring 75,000 square feet of speciality dining and retail, as well as creative office spaces and community areas. Designed as a walkable enclave, this urban village will blend social, retail, and leisure activities for a well-rounded lifestyle. The Birdsall will be at the heart of this village, connecting guests and residents to the buzzing social energy of The RO while offering a retreat from it within its tranquil grounds.

For those seeking relaxation and wellness, The Birdsall will house an expansive spa designed for achieving personal goals. The Spa will feature 11 treatment rooms where guests can indulge in customized bodywork, skincare, and recovery treatments. Wellness programs will be supported by a Vitality Pool, a cold plunge, and relaxation rooms, along with steam and sauna facilities in locker rooms. The property’s Fitness Center will cater to diverse wellness routines with a full range of cardio and strength-training equipment, alongside movement studios for classes and personal training.

With its official opening set for 2027, The Birdsall, Auberge Resorts Collection will introduce a new level of luxury to Houston’s River Oaks, combining residential and hotel living with the exclusivity of a private club. The partnership between Transwestern Development Company, KPF, Roman and Williams, and Dillon Kyle Architects highlights a meticulous approach to design and hospitality, ensuring that The Birdsall will be both a social landmark and a serene sanctuary in the heart of Houston.
