Fodor's "This small luxury boutique hotel (formerly the Sam Houston Hotel) is decidedly modern and well located near bustling Main Street and the ballpark." Full review
Lonely Planet "Sleek yet low-key, the smallish rooms at this historic 1923 property have a contemporary decor done in all-grey."
Travel + Leisure "An understated counterpoint to its ravishing neighbor, Hotel Icon, the Alden is an exciting player in Houston's downtown revival." Full review
Frommer's "The decor is modern, and I use "modern" in the best of senses -- sleek, uncluttered interiors that seek simplicity but avoid the "lab" look, which always leaves me with a chill." Full review
Gayot "The landmark 1924 Sam Houston Hotel is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, but chic renovations have brought it nicely into the modern age."
Afar Magazine "It may be the oldest running hotel in the city, but the Sam Houston has a luxury boutique vibe that defies its age." 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."

"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
