Frommer's "Hotel Icon goes more for the Lola-Montez-slept-here look: lots of texture and ornament, and a "boudoir" feel to the rooms, all of which makes the Icon a fun place to stay." Full review
Fodor's "Easily Downtown's most glamorous hotel, Hotel ICON combines historic architecture with shabby Chinoiserie, contemporary finishes, overstuffed furniture, and attentive service." Full review
Travel + Leisure "The owners of the Hotel Icon went for a dramatic baroque look, with velvety, tasseled interiors swirling with reds and black and gold in one place and silver, sky blue, and yellow in another." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler88.2
"You would be forgiven for thinking that the Icon has been downtown for years." Full review
Star Service "Combining chintzy traditional and Texas-chic with eclectic modernism is not easy to do, but guests at the Icon witness this successful blend that puts it in a class of its own." Full review
BlackBook "This is where classic meets contemporary. Hotel Icon is a boutique hotel that is housed within a rehabbed historical building built in 1911 with modern upgrades."
Zagat4.2
""It's got style" declare backers of this "elegant" Marriott affiliate -- housed inside Downtown's historic Union National Bank building -- distinguished by "plush", "well-decorated" quarters."

Jetsetter "A stay at Hotel ICON Autograph Collection places you in the heart of Houston, walking distance from Market Square Park and Christ Church Cathedral." Full review

Fodor's "The super-luxurious all-suites property is just steps away from the Uptown Park shopping and dining village. A multilingual staff anticipates your every need." Full review
Star Service "Graced with a look more south-Florida or Florence than swampy Houston, this is a breath of fresh air, and it has gained quite a reputation over the last decade." Full review
Gayot "Guests can savor the environment of an Italian villa amid Houstonâs swanky boutiques at this 122-room luxury retreat."
Zagat4.2
"The Italian-born owner of this hotel designed it to look like a Tuscan villa inside and out, right down to the Italian linens and Aqua di Parma toiletries in the rooms and suites."
Frommer's "With an air of old Italian aristocracy, the Hotel Granduca offers guest a luxurious retreat from the hustle and bustle of the big city." Full review

"The 122 classic Italian guest rooms and suites have living rooms and either full kitchens or kitchenettes, plus some have balconies." Full review
Afar Magazine "Referred to as “the Palace of the Duke,” the statuesque property resembles an Italian villa with a palm tree–lined facade." Full review

Condé Nast Traveler "Deemed a veritable "Euro-style palace" in Uptown's The Galleria, here's a hotel that brings more than a taste of old world Italy to the Longhorn State." Full review
