Tucked away in Houston’s downtown historic district sits a boutique hotel that combines historic charm and refined luxury—Hotel Icon.

After undergoing a multi-million dollar renovation of the former Union National Bank building, a 1911 landmark structure, this exquisite boutique hotel now offers spectacular accommodations rich with Texas flair.

Hotel Icon makes a statement with its soaring ceilings, breathtaking downtown views, and urban contemporary style. The original 1911 bank vault remains behind the front desk—a living reminder of the building’s heritage as home to one of Houston’s historic financial institutions.

The hotel’s neoclassical-meets-modern decor creates a unique interior, providing elegant spaces for wedding celebrations of all kinds. Hotel Icon offers all-inclusive wedding packages and room blocks—each of the 135 lavish guestrooms and 18 suites offers fresh, lively décor with vibrant hues evoking the rich warmth of a Texas sunrise.

From bridal showers to receptions and farewell brunches, Hotel Icon can host it all. The elegant ballroom, with its towering ceilings and magnificent windows, makes a jaw-dropping backdrop for your celebration. Not to mention, the talented executive chef will craft a delicious wedding menu to delight you and your guests.

As an added plus, the historic charm with modern style makes Hotel Icon a desirable location for engagement photos.

With nods to Houston’s history, modern renovations, and perfect urban location, Hotel Icon brings it all together for memorable wedding celebrations.
