Private Membership at The Luxury Tree House | River Oaks, Houston

Houston's only luxury membership built entirely around food, connection, and culinary access. Designed for members who want the best seat in the room.

More Than an Event. A Place You Belong.

Membership at The Luxury Tree House is not a loyalty program or a subscription service. It is access to the best events, the best seats, and the most personal hospitality in Houston with a team that knows your name, remembers your preferences, and treats every visit as though it was designed specifically for you.

There are no monthly fees. Membership buys priority, access, and placement. Events are ticketed separately so you attend what speaks to you and skip what doesn't. The experience compounds the more you show up.

Three tiers. Limited founding memberships across all of them. Enrollment is open now.

 Members who donate 15% of their initiation fee to Southern Smoke in benefit of The Luxury Tree House and forward their receipt to Robbie@theluxurytreehouse.com will receive a 15% credit applied toward their membership initiation fee. This applies to all three membership tiers. No monthly dues are required to qualify.

Priority Access. Ticketed Events. Zero Monthly Obligation.

AT THE LUXURY TREE HOUSE | RIVER OAKS, HOUSTON

Every TLTH membership operates on the same principle: your membership buys you the right seat, the first call, and the better experience, not a recurring bill.

Events across The Culinary Society and The Dinner Society are open to members of both because great evenings don't require a siloed calendar. Each society gets priority access in their respective category. The Culinary Society books first for culinary education, wine programming, and guest chef events. The Dinner Society books first for hosted private dinners and dining experiences. Both societies can attend everything. Neither is locked out of anything.

Private Reserve members hold priority at every level — first access to every event, every experience, and every evening the house offers.

Guest Policy

Members may bring up to two guests per event. Guest tickets are available at a per-event premium. Guests are subject to availability and must be accompanied by the member for the full duration of the event. Members are responsible for the conduct and experience of their guests.
