Why us?

Taking its inspiration from her-story, C. Baldwin honors Charlotte Baldwin Allen, wife of Augustus

Chapman Allen who co-founded Houston with his brother John Kirby Allen in 1836. The soul of the hotel

acknowledges her pioneering role as “Mother of Houston” and lauds her hands-on 19th c. presence as a

pivotal businesswoman, cattle rancher, philanthropist, and trailblazer. The property, in all ways,

celebrates the trailblazing spirit of women in Texas. This stunning 354-room hotel boasts 14,000 square

feet of meeting space, a signature restaurant, Rosalie, a

hidden speakeasy, a local Grab and go concept, Good2GO, abundant green space, Sloan/Hall luxury

goods, and an all-natural salon.

As part of Sage Hospitality Group, we passionately strive to be the best and create excellence in

everything we do. We believe in enriching lives one experience at a time. More than a slogan, we

empower our employees to make positive impacts on the communities in which we live and work. By

providing genuine service we build relationships with our guests and value for our shareholders, and we

create unforgettable experiences.

We are looking for independent thinkers. Those who harness their entrepreneurial spirit so that it

breaks preconceived notions. We’re not afraid to forge our own path. After all, it’s what industry leaders

do. That’s why we welcome risk takers and creative spirits alike. No matter your daily role, Sage

recognizes that your success is about more than the work you do—it’s really about who you are, which

is why we invest in your personal and professional growth. We hope you consider joining us!
