Our Take

Refuge — Downtown

Refuge sits on top of the Hotel Alessandra in Downtown Houston with a wraparound infinity-pool deck and a 360-degree view across the city skyline.

The cocktail programme is broad and well-built — classics-with-twist, a serious champagne list, a tequila and mezcal back-bar. Daybeds available with minimum spend through the day. Sunset programming Wednesday-Sunday with a DJ from 8pm.

Reserve via the hotel website. Daybeds book 5+ days ahead in summer.

What to Order
Infinity Pool Deck
Wraparound 360-degree view of Downtown Houston. The reason to be here.
Daybed
Minimum spend $300-500 depending on day. The proper rooftop move.
Mezcal Negroni
Mezcal, Campari, sweet vermouth. Their bitter flagship.
Sunset DJ Set
From 8pm Wed-Sun. House and disco programme.
