Hotel ICON - Destination Hotels & Resorts

Not the best stay but definitely not the worst

The room was clean except for a couple mystery hairs and a cigarette burn near the jacuuzi (in a non smoking room). I was expecting the room to be a little bigger as Most 4.5 star hotel rooms do not feel as cramped as this one. I booked the hotel from hotels.com and got billed by Hotels.com but the Hotel billed my credit card for my reservation as well. This led me to have to take time out of my workday to call customer support to get things handled. Hotels.com support team was great and attentive and got to the bottom of the situation quickly. Kudos to them. The bar at hotel icon closes too early. The food was good but overpriced and the portions are small. In my opinion skip the restaurant and bar and head out on the town. Also beware this hotel and others are using valet parking as another way to nickel and dime their patrons. 28 dollars to park my car overnight? You must be out of your mind.

Charming hotel

lovely hotel, historic charm

oustanding hotel. very elegant

u get a complimentary drink upon arrival. the hotel was very elegant with wonderful staff. the bar is very nice.the parking is valet and u have to pay. but the price of the hotel and the quality is wll worth it. we will definately stay here when we are downtown houston.

Would be great hotel if had different management and front staff.

The manager was very rude and one of the front desks girls did something very unappropriate to me. You have no personal privacy at this hotel and they will give your personal information to anyone that calls into the hotel questioning about you. No Privacy!!

Timeless Grandeur and great Staff

This hotel was not in the best location, it was a little difficult to find the valet parking. However the rooms and staff were great. Received a free upgrade to a Penthouse which was wonderful if you love the charm of a period hotel. Everything was great but I am not a big fan of the vintage look.

Beautiful Hotel- Great Stay

We spent two nights at The Ion and would not hesitate to recommend it to others. The property itself is really beautifully done. To be honest, for the rate we paid we didn't expect the quality of the building and of the staff. We were pleasantly surprised! Our stay was not without a hitch or two, but the staff dealt with it immediately and pleasantly. We did not have dinner at Voice, the hotel restaurant, but we did have a very tasty (also pricey) breakfast. If you stay, make sure to check out some of the neighborhood restaurants. We had several memorable meals within a one block walk of the hotel.

Best Deals in Downtown Houston

The Icon is a wonderfully renovated old bank building on the northern end of Main Street in downtown Houston on the light rail line. The rooms are wonderfully outfitted with interesting baths (either deep soaking tubs or stall showers with multiple heads). The restaurant is first rate. The workout room has all the necessary cardio and strength equipment. There are almost always good deals on the price here.

Wonderful hotel, amazing fitness center!

The overall stay was outstanding. Impeccable service, great food; can't wait to go back!

Great, Stylish hotel

great hotel! Room was clean and comfortable with a huge bathroom. My only complaint was that they only had valet parking, and it cost almost $30/day.

Best Downtown Hotel

I was surprised at the size of my room, which was large for a city hotel. It was nicely decorated and very clean. The restaurant (I ate at the bar) was creative and the food excellent. Outstanding service throughout the hotel. I found a new favorite in Houston.

Wonderful Service

Stayed overnight for first date with my husband since our son was born. It was great! Very convienent to the Metrorail and the rooms were comfortable and neat. Service was exceptional and the staff truly went out of their wasy to make sure we were comfortable.

ICONic

The hotel has a great decor combining the historical bank building with some more modern elements. The bar has a great selection of whiskeys of all price ranges. The bathroom in the deluxe king room is enormous with a large tub shower and its own window.
