    I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel. I stayed here during a work trip and it was very central to all of the places I needed to travel to. It is walking distance to the galleria mall which was very nice. The hotel was clean with nice amenities and in an area that felt super safe. I would definitely stay here again.

    Lovely boutique hotel. I had a weekend in the city for Houston Restaurant Week and a Houston Wine Fest. This hotel was the perfect cherry on top for a restful place in between activities. Sheldon checked me in, was very helpful and kind. The room is very cute, love the decor and little accents. I'll definitely be using this hotel for my future overnights in the city.

    We had some hotel points that were about to expire, so we decided to treat ourselves to a low-effort, high-reward staycation at Hotel Vesper. It's tucked away behind another hotel, and I'll be honest--the exterior had me mildly skeptical. But the second those lobby doors opened? Whew. Instant charm. Like stepping into a cozy little pocket of calm I didn't know I needed. The front desk clerk was genuinely kind and accommodating--no forced smiles, just good energy. We stayed on the 4th floor, and while the room overlooked the parking lot (not exactly postcard material), the inside more than made up for it. The kitchenette was surprisingly spacious--perfect for mixing cocktails and pretending we were way more relaxed than real life usually allows. The living area was plush, roomy, and inviting enough to make you forget you're technically still in the city. The bedroom was cute and cozy, with the bathroom tucked inside, making the space feel intimate and intentional. Overall, it was a really lovely, spontaneous night away--simple, comfortable, and exactly what we needed for some quality partner time without ever leaving town. Would I do it again? Absolutely. Sometimes you don't need a plane ticket--just the right hotel and a free night that refuses to go to waste.

    This hotel certainly has some charm. It may look slightly outdated on the outside, however inside is a different story. This property is conveniently located next to the Galleria mall. Don't let the exterior deter you from booking this property. The interior is beautiful! This hotel opened on November 7, 2023 and features 131 rooms a cocktail bar, and a cafe. Interior is elegantly decorated. My room, located on the 6th floor, was nicely appointed. The layout was rather interesting. The room had a foyer. The room featured the standard coffee maker, mini fridge, tv, and work desk. The bathroom was decent size. The bed was very comfortable. One noticeable feature was the usb-c plugs. Both nightstands had the power plugs for my devices. Service was excellent. The staff were friendly and always greeted me.

    Could've been better-- I had high expectations for the Vesper Hotel since this was labeled a NEW hotel within the Marriott collection and appeared extremely stylish and clean. I was here on business, but unfortunately left disappointed. I would not recommend staying here if you are traveling through Houston. Upon arrival to my room, the toilet was visibly dirty, shower had hair on floor and on glass and overall felt unfinished (see hole in ceiling for fire sprinkler). The room itself was large and spacious and the front-desk staff were kind and welcoming, but lack of cleanliness was below my standard for cleanliness.

    This is one of the most stylish hotels I have experienced in the past few years. It has a French chic vibe but without the typical small room sizes you find in a typical hotel in France. Every staff member I have interacted with is super courteous. Hallways are not only wide but the decor is super cute, from the chairs by the elevators to your room door that uses a dial to change your room status (do not disturb or please come & clean). Showers have very good pressure (what a surprising bonus!) I did not have the opportunity to check out the bar, but it looks very cozy and provides a speakeasy Euro vibe when you walk in.

    This hotel had A LOT of pros (and only a few cons), but overall, we had a wonderful stay…read more For starters, it's walking distance to several downtown hotspots. Not once did we feel uneasy (and we live in the Houston area - did a staycation for my husband's birthday). A few years ago, it would be a different story. There are a few homeless in the general area, but they aren't disruptive. We stayed in room 705, complete with a city view. It was quiet and lovely. I wish the rooms had a full-size fridge and cooking area, but for downtown, the suites are just as big as a studio apartment. There's space-themed decor throughout the hotel. I found the valet pricing to be a bit steep, and unfortunately, I have reason to believe two pairs of sunglasses were stolen from my vehicle. (I realize they should have been put in my purse immediately after use, but it slipped my mind, and out of habit, I put them in the console.) Regardless, it's frustrating. It also took 10-15 minutes for valet to pull our car around, so that's something to keep in mind. The evening reception was nice, especially with the two drinks/person/night. We had chips and queso, though they had a few other offerings. Make sure you get the card at the front desk. The front desk staff will also try to sell you on destinations for a cheap rate. I'm not sure when this became a thing, but instead of telling us about the evening reception and breakfast, they tried selling us on a stay in Chicago. I really just wanted to go to our room since I did everything on the app. We also found the breakfast to be worth every penny to stay in this hotel. I can't have gluten, and there isn't any GF bread. I had eggs, potatoes, grits, and coffee. There were cereal, fruit, yogurt, and waffle-making options as well. I appreciated the coffee bar having various syrups. The hotel was extremely accessible for those with disabilities/handicaps. We saw several people in wheelchairs or with assistance. Hearsay on the Green is inside the hotel, and the food is priced well for what you get (and it's excellent). If you DoorDash, the Dasher has to leave your food/items at the front desk. They are not permitted to go up to guest rooms. The rooftop pool and hot tub offer views of the city and Toyota Center (excellent people watching). Overall, I'd stay again (but I'd ensure I brought my cheap sunglasses and not my Maui Jims).

When we ask they provide a crib for us that they bring up to our room. It's a 3min walk to the convention center. The fridge works a bit too well and freezes my son's milk and our food, which does cayse some waste, they do have a microwave in room which is nice. Couch is a pull out bed if needed. They provide a free breakfast buffet with a omlett bar. Food is always hot and fresh, they have staff manning it and serving it on ur plate to expedite the line amd for sanitation reasons. The eggs could be better they have a chalky taste. But the bacon and potatoes more than make up for that. Staff is always warm and welcoming, making sure everything is OK. There is a reason we keep coming back

There was a lot of open space in addition to the king bed and the living room area. Even though it was February, it was actually quite warm and humid inside the room. We had recently experienced temperatures in the teens in Dallas, so being in a room with the temperature in the mid 70s, seemed unbearably hot. We had to find the A/C and turn the temperature down a few degrees. The hotel is located near the arts district where we were planning to spend our Saturday. The earliest we could checkin was 3pm, so we spent our day visiting the city and just left our luggage in the car. Checkin was super easy since we already had a reservation. Parking was included. The property has a fence around it, so the parking felt relatively secure. It was also well lit. The spots in the front were mostly taken, but you could drive around to the back of the building and easily find a space. The hotel has an elevator, but it is very slow. We used the stairs quite a bit, but found the elevator useful for carrying our bags upstairs. The view was limited and not very appealing, but the building only has about three floors. Amenities like a pool, gym, and laundry facility were also available at no added charge. The Wifi name and password were printed on the room key to make it easy to connect. Breakfast was included. The breakfast area had several tables. the meal is buffet style. They do have hot items like scrambled eggs, sausage, and breakfast tacos. You can make a waffle or toast bread or a bagel. Cold items like juice, yogurt, cereal are also an option. Two staff members were there making sure food was readily available and that things were kept clean. There were a few items that bothered me about this particular hotel. One, there was no TV reception in my room. I couldn't believe there weren't any channels, not even local channels! I was also annoyed that the bathroom sink was not draining properly. My husband had to play with it to get it to drain at all, and even then, it took a very long time for the water in the sink to empty after washing my hands or brushing my teeth. Lastly, the light switch at the entrance of the room only controlled the lighting in the entryway. I had to go around and turn on individual lights to feel like it wasn't so dark. These were minor inconveniences, but for the price, I would have expected these not to be an issue at all. The staff at the front desk were very pleasant and went out of their way to help me. On the day of our departure, my husband wasn't feeling well. They provided me with some bottled water as well as a Sprite to help his stomach. I was so touched by this offer. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again. We both got a good night's sleep.

Basic information like parking ($20/night), amenities, and breakfast was not informed unless we asked. We were placed on the first floor, first room by the elevator, gym, and kitchen even though the hotel appeared half occupied at best. We could hear conversations by the elevator, and a strong bacon smell filled our room every morning, which was very unpleasant since I don't eat meat. The side door from the rear parking didn't work initially, forcing us to walk around the building in freezing weather. When reported, the same receptionist was dismissive, saying no one informed her. Despite the convenient location, this was quite an unpleasant stay and we will not return!

I would say the decor is very old fashion lounge with there being a mix of table with chairs or chairs paired with a couch. Our server seemed very nice but a bit new as she could not tell me if one of the teas was decaf right away. Also, I made a note that I could not have tuna but they took this as I could not have fish so they gave me two chicken salad sandwiches instead of the salmon even though I had stated on the phone salmon was fine. She also could not describe one of the desserts but overall she was very pleasant. The amuse bouche was - interesting ( a strawberry with cream cheese) I didn't hate or love it. I didn't think the cream cheese added anything tbh. We had one dessert on the table waiting for us before we said down - a English parfait that had a white chocolate mouse, cake, and fruit. I loved it although it was a bit strange to have dessert already sitting at your table before you got your sandwiches but I am a dessert first girl so didn't matter to me other than it was constantly calling my name. You don't get to choose your tea and the two tea options are both black which is a lot of caffeine. The sandwiches themselves come across as unassuming but they are great and very filling. Each one has a different bread which was cool. Although not a fan of cucumber, the bread was milky and so soft. All the sandwiches were fantastic. Honestly, I was so full from the tea and sandwiches, I took the desserts home. One big misstep in service was the server forgetting to serve the second tea. I had to ask for it and by the time we got it, we were tea'ed out. You are gifted a box of macarons at the end - we almost left ours but our server ran and got us in time. I definitely had a great time, there were small incidents that stopped it from being 5 stars. Paying 79 dollars for tea is a bit pricy so I would expect a bit more precision and maybe more choice in tea?

From the moment we arrived until the second we left, we were treated like royalty. The heart of this hotel is truly its staff--by the end of our trip, we felt like we had made genuine friendships and truly became part of the hotel family. The flawless service started at the door with Sam, who welcomed us with the most cheerful and polite attitude. At the front desk, Kevin made absolute magic happen. He quickly coordinated with housekeeping to get us into a room for a very early check-in, and he was incredibly personable and fun to visit with. Kevin also rushed to our aid with a first-aid kit when my son had a little fall, showing just how deeply they care about their guests. The incredible service extended everywhere. The bartenders are masters of their craft--extremely knowledgeable and brilliant at making you feel special the second you sit at the bar. We even crossed paths with the owner in the elevator; he went completely out of his way to welcome us and ensure our stay was pleasant. He is such a warm, thoughtful gentleman, and his hospitality clearly sets the standard for the entire hotel. Late one night, the hotel manager performed another absolute miracle--since the rooms feature a sleek, drawer-style fridge, she found a separate place to securely store our three bulky takeout bags from dinner. Housekeeping was equally attentive, keeping our room immaculate, cozy, and flawlessly stocked with complimentary snacks and drinks. Beyond the unparalleled service, the location is beyond perfect for exploring downtown Houston, with tons of restaurants and theaters within walking distance. Parking is a breeze with their back lot and two neighboring garages. Before you check out, do yourself a favor and purchase one of their signature scent candles at the desk--it smells absolutely dreamy and brings the hotel's luxury vibe right into your home. We have officially found our new favorite hotel and cannot wait to return!
