"A really outstanding hotel in an amazing location. We stayed three nights during the hottest days of the year (end of July), but every room was perfectly climate controlled. Each and every member of the staff we met was friendly and helpful without exception. The overall theme and common spaces were outstanding—we almost never hang out in hotel common areas, but we ended up spending several hours of our trip luxuriating in the mega-comfortable chairs, sipping spa fruit water (served 3–6 pm), and reading art books from their collection. A koi pond in the lobby was an extra nice touch. Our room was extremely quiet and comfortable. The Houston Museum of Fine Arts is literally a few steps from the front door, and the Houston Museum of Natural Science is just a few blocks away—walkable even in the crazy heat. We felt very safe in the neighborhood too. I would absolutely stay here again. For the quality of our experience, I’d even say the price was a bit lower than expected, even though it is admittedly an expensive property. Someday I’d love to stay in one of their theme rooms, but Expedia didn’t offer that option."
