Hotel Icon

A short trip to Houston in June and while the Icon wasn't my first choice it turned out to be a great choice.

I wound up at the hotel because I started searching far too late for a room and all the nearby hotels to the convention center were either sold out or too expensive for my taste.

This is a beautiful property bordering the historic part of Houston. As an old bank building converted to a hotel there are limitations, but the rooms are spacious and you even get a unique window from the bathroom into the bedroom so that you can take a shower or bath and still watch television.

The service by the staff is excellent and if you just need a quick trip downtown the hotel will provide it for free in one of their vehicles which includes a very old fashioned taxicab.

There are plenty of places to eat nearby and is convenient to shopping and other services.

The Hotel Icon will definitely be at the top of my list on my next trip to H-town.
