Modern B & B  

In Montrose, Houston — a leafy, art-centric neighborhood. A short drive to the Menil Collection and Rothko Chapel, and close to Rice University, the Houston Museum of Fine Arts, Westheimer Rd and Buffalo Bayou Park.

This dramatic four-story bed and breakfast has 17 air-conditioned rooms and an intimate, art-filled vibe. Expect desks and laptop safes, cable TV, private showers, daily housekeeping, shaded verandas and artist works on the walls that give it a boutique-gallery feel.

Take in terrace and tree-line views, cozy up by the lobby fireplace, or fire up the on-site barbecue grills. Complimentary wireless internet, a library, table tennis, exercise equipment, tour/ticket assistance, free self-parking and a pet-friendly policy keep stays easy and flexible.

Complimentary high-speed wireless internet and luggage storage. The intimate setting is meeting-friendly for small gatherings, dinner parties or wedding receptions, with multilingual staff and complimentary newspapers in the lobby.

A complimentary cooked-to-order breakfast is served weekdays from 7:00 AM to 10:00 AM and weekends from 8:00 AM to 10:00 AM. An outdoor barbecue area is available for casual meals.
