La Colombe d’Or

La Colombe d’Or hotel occupies the historic Fondren mansion, originally built in 1923 as a private residence for the founder of Humble Oil. Today, the landmark property serves as one of the world’s smallest luxury hotels and stands as a gateway to the Houston Museum District. The mansion now houses five spacious and elegantly appointed one-bedroom suites. For those seeking accommodations more suitable for longer term stays, the adjacent Villas at the Court of Colombe provide nine residential-style one- and two-bedroom apartment suites with separate living areas and kitchens clustered around a lush, central courtyard. The hotel’s Restaurant CINQ indulges diners with a menu of modern European cuisine and creative reinterpretations of La Colombe d’Or Hotel classics. Moreover, La Colombe d’Or Gallery represents established artists, reflecting a broad range of styles and sensibilities from Impressionism to Abstraction. In addition to original oil paintings, it offers works on paper by modern masters like Picasso, Dalí, Man Ray, Lapicque and others.
