About us
At Magnolia Hotel Houston, A Tribute Portfolio Hotel, you’ll enjoy the comfort, personality and style unlike that of trendy or branded hotels. Stylish interiors are designed with local flare.

Wellness Beyond the Ordinary
Swift Fit Events is a health and wellness company based in Austin, curating corporate and community programming throughout Texas.
Corporate team building at conferences and events often seems to revolve around the same activities: heavy meals and heavy drinking. While we’re not opposed to either—hello, Texas BBQ!—we also love getting to experience a new city and new people in a fun, fresh way.
We’re not hardcore, on a high horse about health, or too woo-woo about wellness. By offering a variety of fitness classes, mindfulness activities, and unique local experiences, our mission is to empower the community to practice self-care and commit to healthy habit formation.
