The wife and I want to get away this weekend, stay in a nice hotel, have a dinner and just enjoy each other's company. I'm having a hard time deciding where to go. We've mentioned staying in town, but that almost seems like a waste to me. I've thought Lake Charles, but that's not too romantic. I'm leaning towards San Antonio because I'm craving La Fogata and have seen some interesting hotels downtown. Gimme some ideas. I'm looking to spend no more than $200 on the room and I want a unique type of place, not your typical run of the mill hotel. A good steakhouse would be nice as well. I'm open to anything. An out of the way place, a city I would never think of off the top of my head (like Corpus). I'm not really interested in Austin or DFW either, even though Ft. Worth is underrated, but she doesn't like my old memories of that town. TIA.
What about the new Hyatt resort near Bastrop? I was thinking of going there one weekend..looks pretty nice and not too far...
Natchitoches. Tons of great Bed and Breakfasts. Nice, historic downtown and waterfront. I don't know if Hodges Gardens has re-opened, but it's really, really nice.
For a short drive, try the Galvez in Galveston. Or, if you "do the google", you can find quite a few quaint bed & breakfasts in and around Brenham and in the lower part of the Hill Country.
I'd also suggest Hot Springs, AR in the future. It's a beautiful place with a decent amount of stuff to do and a TON of great eats.
Don't go to Kemah or you'll find out your wife cheated on you, the day after. Oops... I'm sorry that may be just me.
The Omni in Corpus has a very good steakhouse at the top. https://www.omnihotels.com/FindAHotel/CorpusChristiBayfront.aspx Rates aren't bad either. They also have different packages for couples. My wife and I did this a few years ago.
