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
Lonely Planet "Sleek yet low-key, the smallish rooms at this historic 1923 property have a contemporary decor done in all-grey." Full review
Jetsetter "This red brick getaway features 97 spacious rooms packed with amenities such as Aveda bath products and 42-inch flat-screen TVs, and many of them come with great views of the city’s skyline." Full review

Fodor's "This Queen Anne mansion, complete with wraparound porch and rocking chairs, is in the historic Heights neighborhood and 4 mi from Downtown." Full review
Lonely Planet "A Queen Anne Victorian feels right at home among the historic houses of the Heights. Eleven airy rooms say 'boutique hotel' more than 'frilly B&B.'." Full review
Michelin Guide "Rock in a wicker chair on the wrap-around porch of Sara's romantic clapboard Queen Anne lnn."
Gayot "Located in the historic Heights neighborhood, this Victorian home feels as if it was lifted right out of a storybook."
Frommer's "For the traditional B&B experience -- period decor, themed rooms, beautifully furnished common rooms -- this is the place to stay." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Sara's is Houston's top B&B and offers a respite from chain hotels and trendy boutiques...almost all rooms include en suite bathrooms. Sara's is known for its breakfast and 24/7 brownies."
