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."

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
