Style
As soon as you enter the space of Hotel Alessandra, you are immediately greeted by a dramatic marble staircase. The second floor lobby emanated elegance with stone floors, sepia mirrored walls, mid-century furniture, gilded accents and plenty of art. All this was designed by the renowned Houston-based interior designer and architect Lauren Rottet who was inspired by a fictional European sophisticate – Alessandra – who falls hard for an oil tycoon.
Rooms
The Hotel Alessandra consists of 223 rooms filled with beautiful modern decor, premium linens, comfortable lounge seating, generous closet space and thoughtfully-conceived marble bathrooms.
The Premier Corner Room offered floor to ceiling windows with stunning views of the city. The custom bed had its very own signature jade monogrammed pillow, matching the corner sofa, while pops of metallic gold added a touch of glam. Some modern amenities included an in-room tablet, Nespresso machine, complimentary WiFi and a 50-inch television. The bathroom was stunning with an oversized walk-in shower in subway tile and custom toiletries.

Some fun perks include the Grey Goose bar cart delivered to our room for DIT martinis, and the hotel’s Maserati car service for complimentary transportation within the downtown area.
Food & Drink
Lucienne served upscale Mediterranean-inspired cuisine in a funky and futuristic atmosphere. We went for the dinner tasting menu here and were blown away by Executive Chef Jose Hernandez‘s French technique and one-of-a-kind spin on continental European dishes.
Bar Bardot was the place to be with a good-looking crowd sipping on champagne cocktails and whisky flights late into the night. Small bites like lobster fondue and crisp-fried frog legs accompany the bar’s handcrafted cocktails.
Service
This luxury hotel comes with warm, helpful and an easy-going staff. The butler will make conversation with you as you are showed to your room. When getting ready to go out, room service will bring you a bottle of wine and cheese plate to help you get ready.
