Craving a dose of sweetness in your life? Take a trip down to the "Sweetest City in Texas" – Sugar Land to experience what it has to offer. Located just 20 minutes southwest of downtown Houston we serve up big city amenities with small town hospitality. Let us charm you with this one-day itinerary that may even tempt you to extend your stay.

Begin your day with a nutritious breakfast at one of our mouth-watering brunch spots such as Jupiter Pizza & Waffle Co. and Sweet Paris Creperie and Café. If you’re conveniently staying at the Houston Marriot Sugar Land , you’ll be able to walk to most of these restaurants among others located in Sugar Land Town Square. After you are done having brunch, take a stroll around and relax on the plaza, or check out some boutiques that are exclusively located in Sugar Land.

Afterward, get your creative juices flowing at Smash Clay + Studio and pick from a variety of classes to create a sweet memento of your trip to Sugar Land. Plus, right around the corner, we recommend you indulge in a hand-crafted gourmet paleta at Morelia and enjoy the experience by customizing it with different dipping sauces and toppings.
