Stablewood Development Team

A Fatjo & Co. Development

The Fatjo family is the owner and developer of Stablewood Springs Resort. In the late 1970s and early 1980s, Tom Fatjo developed the Houstonian Hotel, Club & Spa in Houston, Texas. His vision included a 288-room hotel and meeting facility on the Bayou, a 32,000-square-foot state-of-the-art Productivity Center, a 125,000-square-foot Health & Fitness Facility and Spa, as well as a 28-floor, 153-unit high rise condominium all nestled in an 18-acre wooded enclave in the heart of the city. After 30 years, The Houstonian still shines in terms of health, innovation and luxury. Among other accolades, it has been voted The Nation’s Top Fitness Center by USA Today and America’s Healthiest Hotel by Health Magazine.

With the same philosophy and passion that made The Houstonian a Texas classic, the Fatjo family has built and nurtured Stablewood Springs Resort into a world-class destination resort in the Hill Country of Texas.
