Set in gorgeous acreage the Houstonian Hotel has the most incredible state of the art gym, including a rock- climbing wall. With every kind of treatment available from seaweed wraps to facials you will be totally relaxed by the time you come to use the extensive conference rooms and business facilities.

If you want a bit of french styled luxury but don't want to be too far from the airport, stay at the Sofitel (page 96) where with massage readily available, opulent surroundings and great service you will feel totally pampered.

If you are with a group and not all of you think shopping is the way to let off steam, the ideal compromise is the Galleria mall which hosts great shops but also an ice rink!
