Hotel ICON Autograph Collection - Houston

We stayed here for Valentines weekend and didnt want to leave. The service was great, the room was equisite, and the food/bar was very nice as well. We will definitely stay here again. The only downside is the $28/day valet but overall our stay was fabulous!

Close to the restaurants and night clubs around Market Square and Main Street. One block from the historic and eclectic La Carafe. On the Metro Light Rail line. I think the valet parking is overpriced.

This was the best night i have ever had in a hotel and the best hotel i ever stayed in...

Very nice period hotel. Elegant lobby. Great service

Staff was very friendly and prvided great service. Emily at the front desk was very accmodating. Loved the decor.

The hotel was very nice; excellent room, good restaurant. The only negative was the shuttle service to the convention center. If they are going to offer this service to their guests then they need something other than the eight passenger suburbans.

A beautiful king suite with wonderful spa bath and huge shower. The mattress was way too soft and we both awoke with back pains. I hope they get new mattresses before we return.

I ended up staying here because my usual hotel was booked. I thoroughly enjoyed the entire stay and will stay here in the future vs. my usual place because it was so nice. There were two negatives related to my stay. The TV in my room was ancient - probably 10-15 yrs old. The phone starting making weird noises chirping and beeping and I couldn't get […] it to stop. I finally unplugged it and put it in the closet. Everything else was great - food was MUCH better than a typical chain hotel, the room was large and well decorated, the shower and bathroom facilities were very nice and the staff was helpful and friendly. I really enjoyed my stay! Read more

Wonderful hotel in downtown Houston. Enjoyable design... parisian boutique with texas touches... valet parking is the only option at $28/day... but it is in/out service... restaraunt was hit or miss... but only by a small margin... i look forward to staying here again

Great customer service. My girlfriend knows how to pick them! We will be back.

Staff was great. Hotel is old converted bank building. Campy western cattle theme/decor was kinda cool. We enjoyed the wonderful shower and will return.

Great Hotel

Everything was great. The staff was friendly, room was clean and beautiful and overall it was a great stay. The mandatory valet parking we could have done without, but it still does not take away from how much we liked the hotel. The rain shower was also a great touch.

This is my second stay at the refurbished bank building in a gradually-improving downtown Houston. The streetscape is underwhelming and you're not exactly sure where to find the entrance. But once in the lobby the soaring ceiling, decor and ambiance make you wonder if you' re in the right place because the rates are so cheap. The rooms are sizeable […] and beautifully decorated. The bathrooms are spacious and have a rainwater shower overhead in addition to a conventional showerhead. The fitness center is adequately equipped for an out-of-town workout. It's adjacent to the spa which has reasonably priced massages. I've only done room service food but what I've ordered has been very good. I'm used to hotel rates in Philadelphia and NYC and the ICON is a third of those. So for me it's a psychological bargain! Read more

Extremely impressed. Quality of customer service excellent. Will return and schedule SPA services next visit.

One of the nicer hotels I have ever stayed in.

Beautiful!

Nicely done!

This was my first time at this hotel - loved it! nice!

My husband and I absolutely loved the hotel. Everyone was very friendly. The hotel is historic yet modern. We enjoyed a delicious dinner one evening at their restaurant VOICE. Also, they provided transportation to everywhere we wanted to go.

I had stayed here when it first opened a while back and was immediately taken by the decor. The decor was still pretty cool, but some of the appointments in the room left me a little disappointed. The room I was in was on a pretty high floor, which afforded me a great view of the city. But when I got in bed to watch a little tv, I was immediately struck […] by the fact that it was a tube television...seriously. LaQuinta can put flatscreens in their rooms, but a 4 star hotel is still getting by with tubes? The bathroom was HUGE!!! This is a wonderful thing, but I was disappointed to discover that they switched from Molton Brown toiletry products to something that really paled in comparison. The food was delicious and the staff was wonderful! Maybe they were trying to make up for the room. Would I go back to this hotel? Definitely! Read more

Unexpected construction at our residence left us "hotel hopping" for 3 weeks. We stayed in 4 different hotels in the downtown area (all 4-star +) and the Icon is by far the nicest. Beautiful architecture, well maintained and elegantly decorated rooms and common spaces. Also a large, modern fitness facility. Excellent value.

Bad thing at this hotel is you may never get out of the bed... the mattress and sheets and pillows are unbelievable. Location is decent, though a few panhandlers in the blocks surrounding. Staff is super friendly. Instant valet parking. Cool bar with what seemed like good food, we didn't partake though. Fav part of this hotel is the gym... it's really […] nice with good machines and dumbells and squat rack with free weights. So you don't have to miss your crossfit session ;) It's not Golds but for a hotel it's pretty darn nice. Read more

Beautiful old world type hotel... My children and I loved it... especially the luxurious bathroom!!! Hotel offered car rides to nearby attractions and a phone number to call for a pick back up. Hated the price of parking/valet -- mandatory $28 a night... ouch!

The staff is generally nice and the only thing I can say negatively about the place is the AC units do not cool your room to the degree that you would want during a Texas summer. I do not believe the thermostats in the rooms work. Other than that I am a repeat customer.

I wanted a place to take my wife so she could get away from the kids and the everyday life stresses. Some place not only where she could get rest,but also see how much I value her. HOTEL ICON was well above my EXPECTATIONS

My girlfriend and I enjoyed our stay at The Hotel Icon greatly. They were one of the few upscale hotels that accepted our dog and didn't upcharge anything for it. From the valet to the front desk, everyone was very upbeat and helpful. First impressions are always important and the hotel has them down to a science. Room was very clean and a decent size.. […] I had read comments about rooms being small. However, they were plenty big for the two of us. Also, the hotel has complimentary taxi service in the city. We didn't use this service because it is so close to Minute Maid Ballpark... A brief run down... Pros: - Very affordable (much better rate here on hotels.com) - Hotel staff and services very good - Location Location it was a short walk to Minute Maid Park to watch the Pirates beat up on the Astros - Pet friendly @ no additional charge Cons: (very limited, but some people may care) - Out of date old CRT style television in the room... Even cheap chain motels have flat screens these days (they need to update) I realize no one should be sitting around watching TV, but it is nice when you turn it on to get the news or sports to not watch a mid 1990's TV - Drinks @ Hotel Bar and Some of the SPA services were a bit pricey vs. comparable resorts/hotels Overall: For a few more dollars than a chain hotel.. it is well worth it for the atmosphere... attention from the staff... and location... We will be making this our hotel of choice when catching a few Pirates series in the coming years... Read more

The room was lovely, but the bed was TINY. It was too small for 2 adults to sleep comfortably, and it seemed that we got a single standard room instead of a double. We were very uncomfortable, and did not sleep well.

I had another favorite hotel in Houston that went radically downhill, to my great disappointment, and so I'd been looking for a new place. ICON is not only my new favorite in Houston, it's one of my top three in any city ... elegant, comfortable, exquisite, accessible, and reasonably priced. I have been into interior decorating and I know that every […] decorating detail in this place is top notch and they spent a fortune on it. The staff is super friendly and professional. I could not ask for more. Read more

Had some difficulty getting to the hotel due to road closures, there was construction on the exterior of the hotel itself, and the windows were dirty on the outside so our view was limited. The room itself was fantastic, the room service was super, and the VOICE Restaurant and Lounge in the lobby was comfortable while the food was delicious.

Staff was awesome & room was really nice. Room service was great. Valet parking was really fast! The jacuzzi tub jets didn't look very clean though so we didn't use the tub at all. The shower was great! Was a little surprised that the tv wasn't a flat screen. Overall really nice hotel - would be happy to stay there again!

My wife and I were guests 6/30/11-7/4/11 while in Houston to see the Red Sox vs. Astro series. We loved the hotel and the staff was super. The hotel provided transportation to and from Minute Maid Park. The rooms were large, clean,and comfortable. The bathroom and shower were fantastic. We highly recommend Hotel ICON, and it will be our go to hotel […] in Houston. Read more

This was my first of many visits to come at the Hotel ICON. I have to say the staff and ambience rival any 5 star hotel I have stayed at in Europe, etc. This is a very elegant hotel and perfect for special occasions, recommending to friends staying in Houston etc. I definitely look forward to my monthly business visits to Houston and staying at the […] ICON.

The hotel is in a renovated bank building. Major reconstruction is still going on. The hotel lobby is extremely small and mostly consist of a bar. Currently you enter the hotel through garage entance. There are only two elevators to go to guests room . So there is usually a long wait to reach your room from lobby . The rooms are small. We booked a handicap […] room with King bed and prepaid for it and the bed was queen size bed. There was very little room by side of the bed to negotiate a wheel chair. Bathroom is was very good size. When we requested for a shower chair , we finally got a shower chair which was about 12 inches high and extremely difficult to sit on or get up from it. A person on wheel chair will not be able to open the door to the room easily. Over all the decoration of the hotel is not uplifting. Apperas poorly lighted and not spacious. If you are looking for a comfortable modern hotel this will not meet your need. Hotel staff were very polite and helpful. Room service was prompt. Not a good hotel for a handicap person in wheel chair. Read more
