Frommer's "With the guest rooms, the designers have succeeded in creating a space that is functional for the business traveler while having the feel of a "pad" with all the accompanying informality." Full review
Lonely Planet "After shopping at the Galleria, you can lay your head in high-fashion style." Full review
Star Service "This large-scale independent design-hotel answers most travelers' calls for a calmer, cuddlier version of a sharp-toothed W Hotel operation in oil-rich Houston." Full review

An unusual twist is the staff training, as each member can handle any guest request, from extra bedding to theater tickets.
BlackBook "Hotel Derek is a popular resting point for out-of-town guests due to its central location, proximity to the Galleria and various eateries, and moderate rate."

Fodor's "This Queen Anne mansion, complete with wraparound porch and rocking chairs, is in the historic Heights neighborhood and 4 mi from Downtown." Full review
Lonely Planet "A Queen Anne Victorian feels right at home among the historic houses of the Heights. Eleven airy rooms say 'boutique hotel' more than 'frilly B&B.'." Full review
Michelin Guide "Rock in a wicker chair on the wrap-around porch of Sara's romantic clapboard Queen Anne lnn."
Gayot "Located in the historic Heights neighborhood, this Victorian home feels as if it was lifted right out of a storybook."
Frommer's "For the traditional B&B experience -- period decor, themed rooms, beautifully furnished common rooms -- this is the place to stay." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Sara's is Houston's top B&B and offers a respite from chain hotels and trendy boutiques...almost all rooms include en suite bathrooms. Sara's is known for its breakfast and 24/7 brownies."
