What guests think

At Hotel ICON, Autograph Collection, guests praise the historic bank-turned-boutique setting, central downtown location near bars and venues, and friendly, accommodating staff, alongside spacious rooms featuring standout showers and jetted tubs that many find relaxing.

The complimentary downtown shuttle is a frequent highlight, while parking is valet-only and often described as pricey. Feedback on cleanliness and maintenance is mixed, with reports of musty odors, hot water or HVAC issues, and occasional housekeeping lapses contrasted by many clean, comfortable stays. Dining and bar experiences range from popular breakfast buffets and cocktails to comments about mediocre or overpriced items, and some note street noise or a rough feel outside at night. Expect a character-rich, convenient downtown stay with strong service and some urban trade-offs.

The hotel is unique, upscale, and the amenities are fabulous! they offer a complimentary shuttle anywhere around downtown. They took us to Daikin park for a Astros game. Wonderful customer service at the front desk as well! I will be back for sure!

Stayed here to be close to the ballpark. It was within walking distance (less than a mile) but they had a shuttle that dropped us off and picked us up. The elevators are small but cute and our room was GORGEOUS! The shower was amazing. Comfy bed. There was a little ballgame celebrating outside our window but nothing terrible. Service was EXCELLENT.

Very nice location with friendly staff. Several bars and restaurants within walking distance. Parking is $50 per day, and I felt this was very expensive. Our room had a very musty smell. The room was very spacious with a very large bathroom. Pet friendly, when I enquired, I was told there was a $50 deposit. This was incorrect, there is in fact a $50 charge per day for pets.

The room was large and had a large jetted tub to relax in and also a glass walled shower . Restroom extremely large and also the sleeping area . It was quiet and had many options for eating and or drinking within a walkable distance. They only have valet for parking . Valet is extremely quick. The car would be ready by the time I would get down to the lobby. Would definitely stay again

Wonderful hotel with friendly staff. They have great staff retention, which is always a good sign of happy employees. The rooms are clean, comfortable and stylishly art deco. I love their giant showers and soaking tubs in the king suites. This is my go-to hotel to be centrally located in downtown Houston. It’s close to restaurants and activities, easily accessible and they even have a free shuttle that can take you in roughly a mile radius to your preferred destinations. I especially appreciate the guys at the valet who always fetch my car in a timely manner and take good care of it while it’s parked with them. They have a great bar with curated cocktails as well, which makes it entirely possible to not bother going out. Just a quick ride on the elevator, and you can hang out in a nice chill spot. I love their depression era happy hour too. I believe it lasts for 19 minutes, so drink up!

Our stay here was excellent! We got married at the 1910 courthouse earlier that day checked into the ICON and celebrated! The breakfast the next morning was so good the room was so clean! Listen definitely get the whirlpool king room you’ll enjoy it solo or if you’re a couple. We loved the interior and the history behind the building. The Only downside there isn’t any self parking. You have to valet which was $58 with taxes. The valet price was a bit more than what we were expecting to pay. We also did ask for extra towels and mentioned to the hotel that we just got married, they wrote back and said something special would be on the way but when we checked in we didn’t find anything special we were expecting maybe a towel heart or something . All in all good experience we will be staying here again!

The first night we had stains on the bedsheets. The furniture was disgusting and look like it had crumbs and sticky glue on top of the stools and the chairs. The carpet look like it and not been cleaned, and the shower curtain had mildew and what looked to be a bloody handprint on the shower curtain in the area that you would reach to pull it back. I called down to the front desk and no one answered. I called five or six times from both the room, phone and my cell phone. They also did not have Wi-Fi service the next morning. I asked Main in the front desk to please change the shower curtain. When we returned, it look like the entire bathroom had been scrubbed down, the room had been vacuumed. The furniture had been vacuumed And the sheets have been changed. It was like an entirely different room. I try not to think about the fact that the room may not have been cleaned when we slept through the first night.

The room was nice, however the lobby furnishings need some serious upgrades. $52/night plus taxes forparking is ridiculous. The shower curtain in the bathroom looked not to have been changed in about a month, it had that pink bacteria color growing in the seam. I requested a clean shower curtian & extra towels, neither were provided.

The bathroom had never been cleaned. There was a bar of soap in the bathroom with pubic hair on it, the toilet seat was up and dirty as well. I brought it to their attention they said I could move with a nasty attitude as if it was my fault. I requested they clean it because I was in a rush. I left for my event only to return to a turn down service and the bathroom tidy up but never cleaned and the nasty soap and hair was still there. The front desk clerk was very rude again and only suggestion and remedy was to move; no further accommodations were offered.They didn't circle back to check on me. They did not offer to compensate in any way. The hotel also did not have any coffee in the lobby area. I travel frequently and this was my worst stay ever.

Our first room was incredibly humid, carpet moist to the touch, bed linens were damp. The tub faucet was dripping on arrival leaving a large pool of water in it. We eventually asked to be moved. The 2nd room was better no excessive humidity but had a very loud AC. Unbearably loud even. We requested a 3rd room and that AC was even louder. I then asked to go with a hotel staff member to listen before assigning us. I was then told by hotel maintenance that all units would produce this same kind of sound. Basically, their AC is similar to motels. One front desk clerk was particularly rude during this entire period, growing increasingly frustrated with us for asking for different rooms. Other guests may have been able to handle the noise but we could not. Exhausted and unsatisfied with our stay we decided to ask for a refund and take our business elsewhere. The following hotel was a significantly better experience.

A beautiful hotel, tons of classic design and decadent details. The room service was absolutely amazing. The room was beautiful my wife really loved the window from the bathtub to the bed area. You can take a nice bath while also watching TV. My only minor complaint was that he TV had that horrible “motion smoothing” feature in that makes everything look like the sci-fi channel and I couldn’t find a way to turn it off. But again this was a very minor issue and didn’t really affect our stay.

Nice hotel, convenient for downtown, decent breakfast. Issue in my room was that between 6-7AM both mornings, there was an extremely loud high pitched noise coming from the vent in the bathroom. There was no way to stop it. The first morning, it woke me, and it happened 2-3 times, each for about 2 minutes. The second morning, it only happened once.

I had to discuss my concerns about the valet service and the difficulties in checking in at the front desk. I reserved and paid for two rooms, but the hotel’s record reflected reservations under two different names, mine and my other occupant’s name. I found out from the manager that this type of mixup happens often with reservations through third party booking sites. My issue was the attitude of the front desk - not friendly and not helpful. I had to drive through the valet parking area twice to see if anyone comes to help. When I gave up and started to walk inside to talk to the front desk, the valet staff showed up, and told me to leave the vehicle with a key, and take my own luggage by myself inside. After hearing my concerns, the manager offered to give me a free valet worth $50 per day and free breakfast buffet worth $80 total. It wasn’t a cheap stay, and I’ll choose other hotels over this hotel in downtown Houston in the future. I’ll not waste my $2k for this type of services. It’s an over glorified business hotel.

Valet did not offer to help take my luggage out of trunk, but offered to help the traveler who arrived immediately after me. I found that to be odd and not hospitable. Front desk staff was great.

The hot water in our shower only worked for the first night and the morning that we left. The food is not seasoned. There’s no way French toast, flapjacks and coffee should add up to be $70. Highly over priced for below average food. For such a fancy hotel I’d expect the food to be good quality. No microwave in the room. So if you want to heat up your food, good luck.
