When it's time to get away from life, do it in luxury. Whether you're planning a romantic Houston weekend getaway or a Houston family retreat, sometimes you just have to treat yourself to the best accommodations, the best dining and the best activities. If this sounds like the perfect getaway for then you'll love La Torretta Del Lago Resort & Spa.
Located on beautiful Lake Conroe, just outside of Houston, this four star resort has it all. You'll start with choosing your ideal accommodations. Would you love one of the Houston lakeside tower rooms or perhaps one of the Houston lakeside villas? Or, if you would really like to live it up, perhaps you'd prefer one of the elite suites that La Torretta Del Lago has to offer. Golfers in the family will want to soak up the luxury in the Houston lakeside golf cottages. Whatever accommodations you choose, you'll find that this is a lakeside retreat at its finest.
Next on your list will have to be dining and you'll have plenty of options to choose from with more than ten restaurants and cafes awaiting you. If you're out on the lake for a day of boating and jet skiing, you might find a snack from the marina will do you good. But, if you're on the links, why not have a nice lunch at the Final Putt Lounge. For snacks and morning beverages, you have the option of several cafes featuring bakeries and coffee bars. Finally, for a once in a lifetime fine dining experience, you'll head over to Chez Roux. This restaurant was created by Chef Albert Roux, a revered chef in the restaurant world. His London restaurant, Le Gavroche, was bestowed the prestigious three stars from the Michelin Guide, the first restaurant in Britain to earn this award. Chez Roux will offer nothing short of spectacular French cuisine with a hint of Texas attitude.
Now, will you go for an international spa treatment or hit the golf course? Either way, you won't be disappointed. Or, you can choose a more "in between" option and head to La Torretta Del Lago's high-tech fitness center, where you'll enjoy state of the art equipment and even utilize the personal training and nutritionists that work here. But, if the spa sounds more like what you're looking for, you won't be disappointed there either. They feature everything from a Turkish Hammam to massages, aromatherapy, and age defying body treatments. You can even take advantage of unique Indian rituals.
Finally, you'll have several activities to choose from including the par 71 golf course to boating and swimming in beautiful Lake Conroe. Whatever your ideal luxury Houston weekend getaway calls for, La Torretta Del Lago will have you covered.
