The Hotel Icon is very convenient in the heart of downtown Houston and you can walk to a lot of places within 8-12 blocks. Anything more, Hotel Icon has a shuttle that can accommodate a downtown restaurant, conference center, etc.
The front desk staff is friendly and is quick with check in. They were also extremely helpful and provided me with a toothbrush and toothpaste as I left them on my dresser at the house. Thank you!
There is beautiful character to this hotel as it is a boutique hotel with many antiques. Thus, they did a good mix with modern and old alike. The lobby and bar are connected and very nice to boot.
Also, they provide wonderful fresh brewed Katz coffee by morning and fruit infused water by day/early evening. Very nice touch.
The room is large with a comfortable bed with down comforter and pillows. Very nice but being allergic I got a polyester pillow. So problem avoided. The bed was great. The bathroom is spacious. It was a tad too dark though as it was hard to shave with the dim light. Also, the bottled water was a premium.
Overall, a charming hotel with a charming staff and I say Enjoy Hotel Icon, Autograph Collection!
