Stopped in for happy hour and was so impressed! The terrace overlooks CityCentre and is perfect for unwinding after work. The brisket jalapeños were amazing, and the staff was super friendly. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a classy bar in Houston!

I had an absolutely fantastic experience, as always. The service was awesome from start to finish, and the staff went above and beyond to ensure I had everything I needed. The hotel decor is stunning, truly a pleasure to be surrounded by such tasteful design. And let's not forget the great drinks! The bartenders really know their craft.

What makes The Moran truly special is that it offers a posh experience without breaking the bank. It feels luxurious and high-end, yet it's surprisingly affordable. I always have an awesome stay at your hotel, and I look forward to my next visit. It's my go-to choice in the area.
