Built in 1911 as a bank, and resurrected as an upscale cosmopolitan hotel in 2004, the Hotel ICON in Houston, Texas is the ideal destination for discerning business travelers and for unforgettable romantic weekend getaways. The twelve-story hotel, located 13 miles from William P. Hobby Airport and 20 miles from Bush Intercontinental Airport, is less than one mile from Houston's Theater District and the George R. Brown Convention Center. Guests can watch the Astros round the bases at Minute Maid Park, cheer as the Texans dominate the gridiron at Reliant Stadium, or catch a show at the Jones Hall for the Performing Arts. The hotel offers complimentary London-style taxi or pedicab service within a three-mile radius.
The opulent bi-level lobby of the Hotel ICON features an intricately carved ceiling, stately arched windows, 30-foot Doric columns and rich velvet furnishings. Behind the 24-hour front desk, guests will find the original 1911 bank vault door. The Balance Day Spa features four treatment suites, a boutique and private relaxation areas. The 24- hour fitness center offers a full range of cardiovascular and strength training equipment in a room arranged with mirrors and exposed brick room.
Renowned chefs of the Bank Restaurant serve succulent seafood, game and steak specialties with a European and Asian influence, in an elegant setting. The Whiskey Bar, located in the lobby's mezzanine level is a local hotspot where the cocktails are cold and the music is hot.
The 135 luxurious guestrooms of the Hotel ICON feature marble vanities, glass showers with oversized rainfall showerheads and designer toiletries. Each guestroom offers 27" flat screen cable television with video game console, lush velvet chairs with ottomans and a CD player with CD library. The work desk features a multi-line phone with complimentary high speed Internet access. For that special romantic touch, guests can request a rose petal turndown service.
