Hotel Information: Hotel ICON - Destination Resorts' two-level lobby, known as the Colonnade, is an opulent gathering place with intricately carved ceiling, arched windows, 30-foot columns, and sitting areas with cherry-red and moss-green velvet chairs. Behind the front desk, the original bank-vault door from 1911 is a monument to the building’s past. On the lobby mezzanine, the VOICE lounge draws a see-and-be-seen crowd.
Amenity highlights: VOICE restaurant serves sophisticated fare in an ornately appointed room with vaulted ceiling, tall columns, and red-velvet chairs. The on-site VOICE lounge is a Houston hotspot. Dozens of other downtown restaurants and nightclubs within a three-mile radius are accessible via the hotel’s complimentary London-style taxi or by pedicab.
Insider tip: La Carafe, the oldest tavern in Houston, is across the street from the hotel. Established about 1875, this candlelit hideaway offers plenty of atmosphere, a tiny upstairs room with balcony, seasonal outdoor seating, and a vintage jukebox.
