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."

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
