The lawsuits represent different cases, but both allege restaurant staff were discriminating against Black guests with the hotel's dress code.

The Post Oak Hotel is standing by its employees amid allegations of restaurant staff discriminating against Black guests.The popular hotel in Houston's Uptown area was slammed with two lawsuits nearly two weeks apart.

The lawsuit claims that the 45-year-old, being the only Black guest in the restaurant, pointed out other guests' attire but the employee persisted. HBar has a strict business casual dress code and ball caps do not align with this policy which is enforced regardless of race, color, creed or gender. A 28-year-old grade school teacher, Blessing Nwosu, arrived at a birthday celebration when the host, who is a minority, allegedly pointed out her attire.
