» Hotel ICON

Hotel ICON is ideally located at the nexus of Houston's thriving arts, entertainment, business and sports districts. A downtown landmark, the historic 1911 structure, originally designed for the Union National Bank by the renowned architectural firm of Mauran, Russell & Crowell, debuted in 2004 after a multi-million dollar restoration and renovation. The gracious, 12-story, brick and Bedford limestone facade invites discovery and sets the stage for a guest experience that engages the senses with premium amenities, seamless service and a décor that deftly balances period details and contemporary elements.

A favorite of business and leisure travelers, the intimate property features 135 spectacular accommodations, many incorporating seating areas, workspaces with task lighting and inlaid pocket doors that open between the bathroom and bedroom, enabling one to watch TV while soaking in the oversized tub. Nine signature suites include a tri-level penthouse with full-floor entertainment area that opens to a private terrace with sweeping views of the city.


The acclaimed VOICE Restaurant & Lounge—selected by both Esquire and Travel + Leisure magazines as one of the top new restaurants in the country—is a destination unto itself with a delectable menu of New American cuisine under the direction of Chef Michael Kramer. BALANCE Day Spa allows visitors to indulge in a variety of services, including men's grooming, massage, waxing, facials, manicure/pedicure and makeup application. Guests also enjoy a spacious, state-of-the-art fitness center. The hotel is steps from a light rail station and blocks from numerous hike and bike trails.
