"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 The overall effect is charming and comfortable and can hardly go out-of-date."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

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."
Zagat4.2
"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

"The four-pearl JW Marriott is a tasteful business hotel located right across the street from the Galleria, the largest mall in Texas." Full review
