Gay Houston Houston City Guide

The award-winning Hotel ICON is regularly regarded as Houston’s best luxury boutique hotel, where swanky contemporary design and traditional Texas hospitality effortlessly combine to create an experience that is entirely befitting of Houston. A former Union National Bank, the neoclassical building makes full use of charming original design elements like steel and brass vault doors, while details like cow print upholstered bar stools add a modern twist. Rooms are particularly spacious and extravagantly appointed with upscale amenities like rainfall showers and clawfoot tubs. The Post Oak Hotel brings lavish urban refinement to the Houston accommodation scene. The only hotel in Houston to boast AAA Five-Diamond award status, this commanding 38-story building is as enthralling as it is luxurious. Expect next-level details like a grand Swarovski crystal chandelier, cascading fountains and even a two-story Rolls-Royce showroom. With four excellent on-site restaurants, two chic cocktail lounges and panoramic Houston skyline views from every room, you’d be forgiven for never leaving the sleek complex.
