ZaZa has personality, position, and...

Liked: Unique decor, excellent staff, and the convenience of 1) the nice restaurant on site; and 2) access to the Houston Museum of Fine Arts just down the street. We had a one-night stop-over in Houston after an international flight, and our pleasant stay was a great plus. Our balcony had a nice view of the park and city skyline, too!
Disliked: Nothing important

Excellent Museum weekend in Houston

Liked: 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.
Disliked: The hotel offered me nothing to complain about. One note about Houston transportation is the tram stop is one block away, however the ticket machines on the platforms didn't work for us. Neither with CC nor Cash.
