Houston Wedding Venues: Discover The Astorian

Filed in: Venues

The Astorian: An Industrial Historical Landmark Venue

Today we’re exploring The Astorian, a Grand Central Station-inspired loft space nestled in a Houston Historical Society landmark building. Host your wedding, gala, or other event in this metropolitan space with 1920s Art Deco vibes.

As the SwaLaRue Events Venue Tour travels Downtown Houston, we’ve seen the Crystal Ballroom and The Parador before heading to The Astorian, which will feel like you’ve traveled to New York City with its modern take on historic New York.

What I love about this venue

The Astorian is an elegant time machine to the Roaring 20s. Classy, elegant and an infusion of modern detailing in a historic space. The high ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows allow you to take in the beauty of downtown Houston. I especially love the functional 12 foot clock and the gorgeous Mosaic floor made up of over half a million tiles. This venue is sure to take your breath away.

To schedule a tour with The Astorian, contact astorian@astorianevents.com call (832)460-6695, or head to their website. The Astorian is located at 2500 Summer Street Houston, Texas.
