Houstonia Spotlights Hotel Saint Augustine: Art, Architecture, and Culinary Culture in Montrose
Houstonia Magazine captures the essence of Hotel Saint Augustine, a new hospitality experience in Montrose developed by Bunkhouse Hotels and brought to life with design by Lake|Flato and Post Company. Inspired by the surrounding Menil campus, the hotel blends art, architecture, and atmosphere across five open-plan buildings and 2.2 lush acres—positioning itself as a cultural beacon for both travelers and locals.
At the center of this vision is Perseid, the new French-Gulf Coast bistro by acclaimed chef Aaron Bludorn. As Houstonia details, the restaurant represents a refined, all-day dining destination that reflects both Bludorn’s French culinary roots and Houston’s diverse food scene. From crawfish sausage with Creole sauce to beignets with spiced berry coulis, the menu plays with classic techniques and modern Gulf flavors—elevated further by executive pastry chef Maria Riddle and operations lead Cherif Mbodji.
The article also explores how Hotel Saint Augustine integrates Houston history—from its name honoring city founder Augustus Chapman Allen to color-coded closet doors nodding to Dominique de Menil’s original home décor. The result is a highly intentional space that invites art lovers, foodies, and design enthusiasts alike.
