The Marlene Featured in the Houston Chronicle’s World Cup Guide to Houston
We’re honored to share that The Marlene was recently featured in the Houston Chronicle’s guide to Houston for World Cup visitors, highlighting where to stay, sip, eat, and explore across some of the city’s most beloved neighborhoods.
Included among “Some Very Houston Hotels,” The Marlene was described as having a vibe where “Nouveau New Orleans meets south of France chateau,” a sentiment that beautifully captures the spirit of our inn in the heart of Montrose.
Set inside a historic home on Stratford Street, The Marlene was created as a place for travelers and locals alike to settle in, slow down, and experience Houston through a more intimate lens. With nine thoughtfully designed guest rooms, layered interiors, warm hospitality, and Bar Madonna just downstairs, we hope every stay feels personal, transportive, and deeply rooted in place.
The guide also recommends ending a Montrose evening with a Wild Ouest at The Marlene, one of Bar Madonna’s signature cocktails. Whether you’re visiting Houston for the World Cup, planning a weekend in Montrose, or simply looking for a beautiful place to stay, we would love to welcome you.
Thank you to the Houston Chronicle for including The Marlene among Houston’s most memorable stays.
