We enjoyed every meal at the Monarch. The atmosphere is very nice and the decor attractive. The restaurant and bar staff are excellent!

Dimas was incredible! He was attentive, funny and knew the menu like the back of his hand. We will definitely come back, recommend sitting at the bar.

Zaza is close to where I work and we know we can always come to the Monarch for good libations and food after work. Highly recommend!

My CoPilot. And I were looking for a good meal after a long day flying. Staying by the Medical Center in Houston we found the Monarch on a quick map search. It had great ratings and the pics showed an inviting environment. Pulling into valet...me knew we would be in for a special experience. The Hotel Zara is charming and boutique. Making our way to Monarch we were greeted to a quiet and elegant ambiance. Slightly dim and inviting. We were greeted by Juan the bartender. His smile and friendly demeanor made us feel instantly at home. He was attentive and helpful during the entire experience. The cocktails were generous and tasty. We ordered the spicy jalapeño calamari for an appetizer. It was crispy and spicy if you wanted to dip. I ordered the Salmon, medium rare. The large portion was presented perfectly cooked and delicious. Perfect meal. Dessert of brownie and ice cream followed. Can’t say enough about this restaurant. Juan was amazing. We’ll be back. And compliments to chef. We’ll done.More

Dined there twice during our last stay. Especially enjoyed the NY Strip Maytag Salad and Calamari. Staff is very attentive and the atmosphere is relaxing, love that "outdoor" area. Would love to sit out there on a stormy night! Ordered the Club Sandwich ( room...service ) on a previous visit, also good.More

My girlfriends and I stopped in for dinner and drinks at the bar and such an amazing time, thanks to Juan, Alex and Dimas!!! They were not only wonderful but kept us laughing and having a great time!! We absolutely will come back!!

Dimas, Alex and Juan were amazing!!! The drinks and service were great!!! We will definitely come back again.

I’ve been visiting Zaza for over 15 years, Virginia was the best server I have ever had. She was so friendly, welcoming to my 10 year old son and I…. And honestly just made our day…. She really is special Thanks Virginia!!!!!

Really nice and unique hotel in the museum district in Houston. Everybody there is so kind specially Kevin and Elimay the front desk, Zane, the bell boy , Gladys at the monarch restaurant, which has delicious food. Also the valets. The rooms are very nice...and comfortable , the food is delicious. Super trendy hotel near the museums, the zoo, the rice university. We enjoyed it a lot and highly recommend it.More

Having a staycation with our work family! Enjoying a sunny day, wonderful accommodations, great pool, lots of good food and drinks. Special thanks to John at the pool bar-he’s taking excellent care of us! Having a wonderful weekend and looking forward to our private dinner...tonight!More

Virginia waited on us in the Monarch lounge. She is a fabulous server and so personable. She was knowledgeable in her recommendations.

Every second and every staff member of the hotel were fantastic! They were accommodating in every way we requested and then some! Even when we had some delays at the pool because the staff was understandably swamped (pool is stunning btw) they were so lovely,...responsive, and then gifted us an additional bottle of champagne for the slight inconvenience. The pool staff were truly fabulous (Virginia, Ahmad, Stephanie, John)! Our room upgrade was to a Magnificent 7 and I gotta say they definitely live up to their name! We were so pampered from beginning to end and we can’t thank Nadine (our personal concierge) along with Melton (who is also concierge and scheduled our dinner reservation AND rescheduled when I told him I was having too much fun at the pool lol We go to Zaza for our anniversary (and our wedding night) for these reasons! No detail and no amount of luxury will escape them during your stay!!! We always feel the Zaza love - so we will always be back!More
