The Heights Ironworks Hospitality Collection
Heights Ironworks is a historic half-acre hospitality collection restored and developed by Lowell Bezanis and Dr. Maria Gomez. The collection includes our guest houses, Yale House and the Little
Bungalow, the iconic ironworks atelier, home to Queen Bee’s Tearoom, and two outdoor areas ideal for private events. Our lushly landscaped complex is an elevated, one-of-a-kind retreat in the
heart of Houston Heights that offers guests refined elegance and authentic old Southern charm.
