"This 314-room downtown hotel is housed in a 1926 building that was the original corporate headquarters of Shell Oil Company." Full review
Travel + Leisure "The overall feeling here is very urban, partly because of all the skyline and freeway views, and partly because of the preponderance of serious-seeming business travelers." Full review
Rough Guide "A modern boutique hotel in an excellent downtown location."

""Tidy", "spacious" quarters -- some with kitchenettes -- are done up in "retro-modern" style at this Downtown boutique staffed by an "efficient" crew."
Frommer's "An anachronistic blend of new and old... The overall effect is charming and comfortable and can hardly go out-of-date." Full review
Lonely Planet "Layerd in luxurius velvet and damask, with pops of modern color, rooms in this downtown hotel are both stylish and comfortable." Full review

"The Magnolia Hotel, by contrast, occupies the old Houston Post-Dispatch building, a 22-story 1920s original and a much more welcoming structure." Full review
