Wanderstay Boutique Hotel

Wanderstay Boutique Hotel is an adult only boutique hotel in Houston, TX. We offer themed rooms and we're pet friendly.

About the Business

Wanderstay Boutique Hotel is a ten-room, adults-only boutique hotel in Houston's East End, woman-owned and independently operated since opening in 2023. We serve travelers who want more character than a chain hotel and more accountability than a short-term rental: convention and medical-center visitors, creatives, couples, and guests marking milestones. Rooms are all different themes, which adds to the excitement of staying with us. Wanderstay Boutique Hotel exists because independent hospitality keeps revenue in the neighborhood, employs locally, and gives travelers a genuine sense of the city they have come to see.

Deidre Mathis

I’m a boutique hotel owner, entrepreneur, and proud mom of three. I’m married to my best friend and passionate about family, travel, hospitality, and living life to the fullest. I’m an animal lover and world traveler who has visited 57 countries, and I believe every journey and experience adds richness to life. I love creating welcoming spaces where people from around the world can feel at home. Above all, I’m a lover of life, adventure, and meaningful experiences. As a boutique hotel owner, I’ve combined my love of travel, people, and hospitality into a business that allows me to create spaces where guests can feel comfortable, welcomed, and inspired. I love the energy of hospitality and the opportunity to bring people together from all over the world.

I believe life is meant to be lived boldly and intentionally. I’m always dreaming up the next adventure, whether that means traveling somewhere new, spending time with my family, or simply enjoying the everyday moments that make life special.
