Named the 2012 "Best Boutique Hotel in Houston" by the Houston Press,   the Magnolia Hotel in Houston, TX was originally the home of the Houston   Post Dispatch newspaper. Later it became the corporate office for  Shell  Oil Company, until the downtown Houston hotel reopened in March  2003  after extensive renovation. Hailed as one of the most impressive  office  buildings in Texas, Magnolia's restoration has re-established  the 1926  historic landmark as one of Houston's most distinct  properties.
