About this space
Welcome to Gatsby Manor Old Sport! You’ll find a timeless escape into the luxurious 1920’s, where the roaring twenties come to life. Nestled in Houston
You’ll be immersed in Art Deco aesthetics and furnishings. Concealed behind a bookshelf, the secret speakeasy awaits. Knock thrice, and the door swings open to reveal a jazz-filled sanctuary. Be careful of the Fuzz (Police) while you’re visiting the secret Speakeasy room. They are still searching for the secret room during this prohibition time.
The space
As you approach your getaway you observe the beautiful colored gardens, and open veranda in front of the home where you can picture yourself with your family and friends having leisurely conversations while enjoying the sunset.
Upon entering Gatsby Manor, you step into a bright and open dining area. The 3,204 sq ft. home, built in 2009, seamlessly connects the Art Deco flourishes, and luxurious twenties. The main living area features an open-concept design with lavish details. We’ve designed this space to comfortably accommodate 2 adults per room.
The kitchen blends modern times with the twenties; with brass fixtures tying it all together for the best vintage aesthetic. It features granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, glassware and luxurious dishes. You’ll have everything you need that is needed in the kitchen, including kids’ utensils and dishes.
The bedrooms maintain a bold, luxurious themed style pointing to wealth and status. A few TV’s for guests to use their streaming services are provided throughout the Manor. The master suite includes a spacious, rich and grand bathroom with a clawfoot tub and shower, perfect to wind down or start the day.
As you ascend the staircase and cross the threshold, the air thickens with echoes of flappers dancing the Charleston, Crystal glasses clink, and jazz melodies weave through the secret room upstairs. Ascend the grand staircase to meet Gatsby Manor’s infamous nine—icons of the roaring underworld, though beware: two faces hide secrets as imposters in their midst. Here, you’re not just a guest; you ’re part of a living legend and you’re the protagonist, Old Sport. Enjoy the rich pool table, speakeasy vibe, and skee-ball in the game room.
