Always a great room that's comfortable and clean.

I love their bathtubs! I love the decor and the style of the rooms. I've had rooms with a regular deep tub and a jetted tub. BOTH are so wonderful I want to move in! I booked a city view room with a whirlpool tub for NYE. I cannot wait! I suggest hitting some of the bars on Market Square. Warren's is an old dive with exceptional martinis. The Dean's Easy Credit is upbeat and lively while Notsuoh (next door) is very laid back and have multiple floors. Hit the roof if you can!

Always a beautiful room with quick access to the places we frequent in downtown Houston.

We always stay at the Icon when we go downtown a fun evening. The rooms are beautiful, and my personal favorite is their bath tubs!! I'm ready for another good excuse to stay for a night downtown so I can experience this awesome hotel.

Over all I enjoyed the stay.

Breakfast was over priced, we paid around 60 dollars for the two of us. The eggs undercooked, and at that price I would like an option of maybe some turkey sausage or chicken sausage. Thanks.

Nice hotel!

The hotel is beautiful. They upgraded us to a room with jetted tub for free and it was a corner room so we had lots of windows. The bed was super comfy and the shower was huge!!

There is no pool. Also the window in the bathroom didn't have the extra pane so you could hear the music from the bars. You couldn't hear them in the bedroom part of the room though.

Gorgeous hotel for a great price

This hotel is gorgeous. The staff was super friendly and helpful. The room was beautiful and very comfortable. The hotel gave me major Cable Girls vibes. The complimentary shuttle service was perfect because we went to the RBD concert and made it just in time. Overall, this was a 10/10.

Hotel Icon’s customer service, history, and location sent this hotel straight to the top of my list of preferred hotels.

The hotel is exactly like the photos, the lobby, elevators, and room were beautiful, and I appreciated how well the air conditioning worked compared to other hotels. The bathroom was better than expected and I especially liked the soaking tub. The location was perfect and everywhere we needed to go was in walking distance. Hotel staff was professional and provided excellent customer service throughout our stay.

There really wasn’t anything I didn’t like.
