"This 314-room downtown hotel is housed in a 1926 building that was the original corporate headquarters of Shell Oil Company." Full review
Travel + Leisure "The overall feeling here is very urban, partly because of all the skyline and freeway views, and partly because of the preponderance of serious-seeming business travelers." Full review
Rough Guide "A modern boutique hotel in an excellent downtown location."
Gayot "Launched in 2003 in the original corporate office headquarters of Shell Oil (built in 1926), the Magnolia has 314 rooms and suites."
BlackBook "Located in the heart of Downtown, the Magnolia Hotel is ideal for those who wish for the location without the triteness of franchise hotels."

""Tidy", "spacious" quarters -- some with kitchenettes -- are done up in "retro-modern" style at this Downtown boutique staffed by an "efficient" crew."
Frommer's "An anachronistic blend of new and old... The overall effect is charming and comfortable and can hardly go out-of-date." Full review
Lonely Planet "Layerd in luxurius velvet and damask, with pops of modern color, rooms in this downtown hotel are both stylish and comfortable." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler "Despite the name, don’t expect chintz at this 314-room hotel in downtown Houston." Full review

"From the outside, the 131-room Hotel Indigo resembles the Embassy Suites chain across the way, but its interior is considerably more stylish." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Spacious rooms at this Uptown district hotel are reminiscent of small beach cottage-style appointments." Full review
Gayot "This six-floor, 131-room hotel is located in Houston's uptown business district and is within a short walk of the Galleria."

"Earning "points for not being afraid to look a little different", this "peaceful" venue evokes "an island vacation" with hip -- if somewhat "overwhelming" -- "seashell/maritime"-themed decor."
Lonely Planet "A cool place to refresh and recharge in this big hot city. Hotel Indigo brings the casual fun of the seaside to the Galleria area with beachy appeal and vibrant colors." Full review
