Hotel ICON - Destination Hotels & Resorts

Charming hotel

lovely hotel, historic charm

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.

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!

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.

Hotel ICON

Great upscale experience. The Hotel food is extrodinary but a pricey. The thing to change would be access to an airport shuttle that is not $55 one way. Mark

Great if you want to be downtown

The ICON is an excellent hotel. I was very satisfied. I selected it to be downtown, knowing there was some chance that all of the surrounding area might not be the best. The hotel is on the new rail line, which is great. Part of the neighborhood is being redeveloped, which is great.

Good Value - Over-ranked

Nice hotel. Classic Traditional feel. Was a good value for me. Nice gym, classy upscale restaurant. Hotel gave a good vibe. Room was nice. Big open bath/shower with slightly smaller living space. Desk offered a less than ideal sitting chair, not really meant to be 'sat' in. Located around alot of nice restaurants, mass transit right off main street, good running though a little sketchy at times around the Bayou towards memorial park. A lot of vacant retail space around suggests the area has lost some business recently. Great gym. Lacks a pool if you are in need. It would be nice if the spa/gym had a steam room or other simple features in lieu of a pool. Room had a used tissue in the toilet and another on the vanity when I checked in. Not the kind of thing that bothers me a lot as the room was otherwise clean but not great attention to detail on their part.

Outstanding Hotel, Perfect location, Great checkin experience

I had a very nice time at the hotel, I was there for a business trip and " Elias jabbe" at the Check-in counter was amazing and very friendly and extremely knowledgeable about the area and the surrounding locations. he was friendly, along with other hotel employees who were always smiling and friendly. The room is immaculate , spacious and clean.
