The Woodlands Resort, Luxury resort in The Woodlands, Texas.

The Woodlands Resort is a resort and conference center in The Woodlands, Texas, founded in 1974 by developer George P. Mitchell and operated by the Woodlands Development Company. It opened as the 218-room Woodlands Inn, whose south wing held boutique shops, an ice rink and the area's only restaurant. The property now has 36 holes of golf on the Oaks and Panther Trail courses and the Forest Oasis Waterscape, a collection of water slides, pools and fountains.

George P. Mitchell founded the property in 1974 as the Woodlands Inn, a 218-room hotel whose south wing held boutique shops, an ice rink and the area's only restaurant. In the 1980s it became the Woodlands Inn & Country Club, a meetings destination, and in 1981 it was a founding member of the International Association of Conference Centers. The 1996 Shell Learning Center added 35,000 square feet of meeting space, and a $50 million expansion begun in the 2000s was to add 158 rooms and a winding river.

The south wing originally held boutique shopping, an ice rink and the only restaurant in the area, so the property served as a local gathering place as well as a hotel. The resort was a founding member of the International Association of Conference Centres in 1981, and its meeting facilities have shaped how groups use the site since.

Guests have access to a complimentary shuttle service connecting to nearby attractions like Market Street and the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion. Navigation around the property is straightforward, with clear signage and staff available to help with directions.

The Forest Oasis Waterpark features a lazy river about 300 meters long and a 9-meter tall waterslide that operate year-round with heating. This feature makes the resort an appealing choice even during cooler months for water recreation.
