The Thompson Houston in Montrose stands as a 36-story beacon of luxury, offering personalized service, design-forward rooms, exquisite dining, a full-service spa, and a sprawling pool deck.

Downtown's C. Baldwin Hotel pays homage to the city's history with a sophisticated edge, featuring stylish accommodations, a notable restaurant, a nail salon, and inviting green spaces, all inspired by Houston's own Charlotte Baldwin Allen. Each hotel promises an experience that epitomizes the elegance and excitement of Houston's evolving cityscape.

Funky/Cool Hotels

Houston's historic hotels are a portal to the past, each with a storied elegance. The SAM, nestled in Downtown, has been welcoming guests since 1924, making it the city's oldest operating hotel. With its 100 guest rooms and on-site restaurant, The SAM offers a glimpse into the city's early 20th-century grandeur. Hotel Icon, another Downtown gem, transforms the 1911 Union National Bank Building into a neoclassical treasure, complete with Corinthian columns and majestic ceilings. Just steps away in the Theater District, The Lancaster, originally the Auditorium Hotel of the 1920s, continues to charm visitors with its legacy of hosting celebrities and serving as a cornerstone of Houston's entertainment history for over a hundred years. These hotels provide more than just a stay; they invite guests to experience Houston's rich heritage.
