Description

Why us?
Taking its inspiration from her-story, C.

Baldwin honors Charlotte Baldwin Allen, wife of Augustus Chapman Allen who co-founded Houston with his brother John Kirby Allen in 1836.

The soul of the hotel acknowledges her pioneering role as "Mother of Houston" and lauds her hands-on 19th c. presence as a pivotal businesswoman, cattle rancher, philanthropist, and trailblazer. The property, in all ways, celebrates the trailblazing spirit of women in Texas.

This stunning 354-room hotel boasts 14,000 square feet of meeting space, a signature restaurant, Rosalie, a hidden speakeasy, a local Grab and go concept, Good2GO, abundant green space, and an all-natural salon, Paloma.

We are looking for independent thinkers. Those who harness their entrepreneurial spirit so that it breaks preconceived notions. We're not afraid to forge our own path. After all, it's what industry leaders do. That's why we welcome risk takers and creative spirits alike.
