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."

""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."
Lonely Planet "You can feel the history in this hotel's ornate red-and-gold lobby with a 1911 bank vault reception area, soaring marble columns and coffered ceilings." Full review
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
Gayot "Displaying vestiges of the building's bank origins, this dining venue offers regionally inspired fare and modern Texas cuisine."

"Baseball buffs can "stumble home from the game" to this Downtowner (across the street from the Astros' Minute Maid Park) offering rooms and suites decked out in "masculine dark wood"."
Gayot "This comfortable retreat resides just a block from home plate."
