Avoid guest rooms on the fifth floor, where the health club is located -- a smell of chlorine sometimes infiltrates the air-conditioning.
Fodor's "Business travelers enjoy easy access to Fortune 500 companies headquartered in the I–610/Uptown corridor." Full review
Gayot "The luxurious atmosphere of this JW Marriott is evident to guests as soon as they walk through the front doors into the lobby."
BlackBook "Aimed at business travelers, this place is perfect for those who want to be close to the shops of the Galleria across the street without all the noise."

"The staff "goes above and beyond" at this "elegant" chain member boasting a "wonderful location" across the street from the Galleria shopping mall."
Star Service "Occupying twin 23-story towers 10 minutes west of downtown, this place looks as forbidding as a fortress from a distance but it is perhaps this locale's warmest and most welcoming." Full review

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."
Zagat4.0
"Set in a historic 1920s mansion, this small hotel's five spacious guest suites feature hardwood floors, antiques and king-size beds."
Lonely Planet "Each of the five exquisite, one-bedroom suites were inspired by the colors and styles of a painting master – Cezanne, Van Gogh, Renoir." Full review
Travel + Leisure "With just five rooms and nine villas, this is one of the country's smallest boutique hotels." Full review
Afar Magazine "An intimate boutique hotel with a B&B feel, La Colombe D’Or is a Texas landmark built in 1923 as a private residence, for the founder of Humble Oil." Full review
Frommer's "Splurge on a stay at this five-suite, nine-villa property anchored by a 1923-built mansion...each suite is named after a celebrated French Impressionist and is filled with art and antiques" Full review
