Fodor's "This exclusive, European-style hotel, originally the W. W. Fondren mansion, has lost some exterior charm... but the rooms... do much to complete the Montrose hotel's old-world charm." Full review
Rough Guide "With just six rooms and an ideal setting near the museums, this quaint but luxurious property is the best hotel in town. If you can’t afford a room, sip a cocktail at the small, elegant bar."
Gayot "Located in the Museum District, this intimate property combines fine art and fine dining for a unique experience."

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
