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

Gayot "Located in the Museum District, this intimate property combines fine art and fine dining for a unique experience."
