The Alden Houston is one of downtown's finest boutique hotels, conveniently located just steps from Main Street and many of the area's cool bars and restaurants. The lobby features a one-of-a-kind backlight wall, illuminating the room and cycling through 72-hour-long color scheme of soothing purple, pink, blue, and orange. Comfy leather couches adorn the historic building's lobby, which has been tastefully remodeled throughout while keeping the space's classic architecture intact. The rooms are modern and cozy, with custom stone showers, feather-soft down bedding, spacious sofas and ample desk and workspace. Free internet, and town car service, on site bar and restaurant, and 24-hour (affordable) room service complete the amenities. Get your chill on at the Alden. —LN
