The Social Book

It’s official! We’re thrilled to announce that The Greenleigh, River Oaks, Autograph Collection — Houston’s highly anticipated new luxury hotel at Westheimer and 610 — will host The Social Book’s 22nd Annual Houston Treasures Awards Gala this December.

The Greenleigh introduces an entirely new hospitality experience to one of Houston’s most prominent locations, pairing sophisticated, nature-inspired design with destination dining, rooftop experiences and beautiful new spaces for celebrations and events.

Adding to the excitement, The Greenleigh’s Director of Events, Leo Hamel, whose Houston hospitality experience includes The Post Oak Hotel and Hyatt Regency Houston, will help bring this very special evening to life with an elegant four-course wine dinner celebrating The Social Book’s 2027 class of Houston Treasures honorees.

We can’t think of a more fitting setting to celebrate some of the people who make Houston such an extraordinary city. This will be an evening to remember!

Thank you to all involved!
