Hotel Zaza Houston Museum District

Took a birthday weekend to Houston to enjoy the museums. The Fine Arts Museum is literally right across the street, and the Natural Science Museum is 2 blocks away. The Zoo is a lovely 20 minute walk across the park. We booked one of the Petit rooms and were stunned at the size compared to that cited on the website. It seemed a lot bigger, but perhaps the mirror wall gave that illusion. This room had great view of pool. Overall quirky vibe is similar to properties we have visited in London, Barcelona, Milan and others. Similar to such European hotels, there is no coffee maker in room, but instead there is an included coffee/tea service down the hall. Plenty of USB offered in room for charging. We had the opportunity to take advantage of the included shuttle service as we had a dinner that was within the 3 mile radius. We also were able to enjoy the afternoon wine and snack reception a couple of times. Dined at Monarch for breakfast once. Menu prices look a little high, until we received the substantial portions of great quality. Entire staff was excellent. I would say we will definitely recommend the Zaza, but we already have, and that person took her daughter on a similar weekend trip.

Had a great experience during my stay at Hotel ZaZa. Check in was very easy and the room was in great shape. Was able to order room service after a very late arrival and appreciated the complimentary fruit platter that was waiting for me. The bathroom has everything you could need, with great water pressure in the shower both at night and in the morning.

A classic Houston hotel with interesting decor, clean rooms, and serviceable amenities in the heart of Houston. The complimentary coffee and tea every morning and “surprise” afternoon snack in the lobby are nice touches. The coffee was very good. Shower pressure was excellent, especially for an older hotel. Pool area is a nice space to sunbathe or take a quick plunge. There’s a small gym off to the side which was small but fine.

Located in the heart of the museum district. About one mile from Rice Village. Not in a busy downtown location. Lots of little extras, cookies, granola bars, iced tea in the lobby.

We loved the location of the hotel. It was right by the museums and public transportation. The staff made the experience amazing! We’d love to give a special shoutout to Bethany at Monarch! She was incredibly kind and warm towards us, gave amazing recommendations on food and drinks and was one of the highlights of our stay. Thank you for having us!
