An anchor in CityCentre (the 37-acre, mixed-use development unveiled in west Houston in 2009), Hotel Sorella has an intimate, boutique feel with graphic interior touches and contemporary furnishings. Guest rooms have floor-to-ceiling windows, walk-in showers, and custom beds with Egyptian cotton linens and non-allergenic goose down and foam pillows. Amid 22 upscale shops (Lululemon, Kendra Scott, Anthropologie, Free People, Paper Source, and H&M) and an eight-screen Studio Movie Grill, the hotel’s back door is an outdoor plaza with green space where kids can run around. Musicians play Wednesday through Saturday. The open-air, European-style development caters to pedestrians and alfresco dining.

Nice Place on Houston's West Side
Hotel Sorella is well situated in a newly built pedestrian area called CITYCENTRE (citycentrehouston.com) with lots of shopping and dining options. The hotel’s Italian-inspired decor is modern and comfortable. It’s further out on the west side of town, which means better rates than most inner loop locations.
