Robin's Nest
Bed and Breakfast Inn

Robin's Nest Bed and Breakfast stands between the skyscrapers of downtown Houston and the miracles of the Texas Medical Center. It resembles a small, European first-class hotel wed to the ambience of a restored, inner-city American Victorian bed and breakfast inn.

Robin's Nest consists of three historical houses setting side by side, circa 1898, 1920, and 1938. Local legend has it that the former farm house, a restored 1898 Victorian, was the first home built in what is now an urban mecca called the Montrose. The area also has been designated as Houston's Museum and Arts District. Surrounded by Houston's major museums, art galleries, and universities, the inn is a perfect local to enjoy Houston for a week or weekend.

The beautiful and interesting fabrics that adorn the homes have been custom-sewn exclusively for Robin's Nest, and long leaf pine hardwood floors lie throughout the house in tall rooms that are spacious but cozy, with their companion windows meeting the tree line. A beautiful parlor is available for guests' enjoyment, and a tea/coffee station is upstairs for a nice cup whenever the need arises. A timeless wraparound porch is whimsical and relaxing.

Seven guest accommodations, generous in size, boast queen-sized beds, featherbeds atop fine mattresses, plenty of natural light, and private baths. Standard amenities include bar refrigerators, cable television, clock radios, private phone lines, dataports, wireless Internet access, and desks. Some rooms also include a twin or day bed should you require additional sleeping space. One accommodation is a 4-room suite with a full kitchen suitable for long-term stays.

Three vacation rental units are also available, all with full kitchens.

Awake to the soft aromas of a full breakfast each morning tailored to the preference of the guests, ranging from light to hearty. If you require a vegetarian or otherwise diet-sensitive menu, your hosts are happy to accommodate. Practically everything is made from scratch, and the ingredients are always fresh.
