From the outside, the 131-room Hotel Indigo resembles the Embassy Suites chain across the way, but its interior is considerably more stylish. Cool cobalt blue walls, striped chairs, and beachy murals make it feel like a beach resort in the center of Houston. The rooms are fresh and bright, with tall ceilings and nautical-themed furnishings. Small kitchenettes feature sinks, tiny coffeemakers, and mini-fridges; microwaves are featured in all suites as well, and in standard rooms upon request. Modern bathrooms have walk-in showers, half enclosed with glass (there's no door). Crossroads Bistro & Bar serves casual fare for breakfast and dinner, and the small fitness center has modern equipment (though the free weights are beat up). Business travelers will likely appreciate the business center and meeting rooms, as shopping-minded visitors will appreciate the proximity to the Houston Galleria.

The 266-room Hotel Sorella is a trendy, slightly upscale hotel in CITYCENTRE, a mixed-use development of shops, restaurants, and hotels in West Houston. In a quieter part of town, the modern, eclectic property is geared toward guests looking to enjoy shopping and fine dining more than the city’s main attractions, which are a 20-minute drive away. The guest rooms are simply and sparsely designed, but sizable enough at roughly 400 square feet for standard units. The outdoor pool has a fun vibe, especially at night while an on-site cafe, bistro-style restaurant, and full bar keep the party going.
