"If you find the check-in process at the Memorial City location of Hotel ZaZa to be a blur, no one could possibly blame you; after all, who wouldn't want to rush to get upstairs to the posh pool? It's like a slice of Palm Springs in Houston. We splurged on the French Connection Suite, one of the themed Magnificent Seven Suites, which boasts sexy decor, marble accents in the bathroom, and a cozy balcony and sitting area. The poodle statue next to the toilet is a whimsical touch." - Diana Oates
