Reviews
"The Niels Esperson Building is one of the most recognizable buildings in Downtown Houston. We stumbled upon this 32 storied 410 ft building while strolling through the Downtown Houston. The building showcases stunning Italian Renaissance architecture, adorned with massive columns, great urns, terraces, and a magnificent rooftop dome that illuminates the night. The building's cameo in Bollywood film "Sirf Tum," particularly the iconic "Dilbar Dilbar" song sequence filmed atop the tower, adds to its allure."
"As I strolled through downtown Houston, I couldn't help but be captivated by the Niel Esperson Building's magnificent architecture. This towering gem, designed by John Eberson and completed in 1927, is a true testament to the city's rich history. While I haven't had the chance to explore the building's interiors, merely witnessing it from street level was a mesmerizing experience. It serves as a reminder of Houston's architectural heritage, a blend of the past and present, making it a must-see for anyone exploring the heart of the city."
"The building is Gorgeous! The details throughout the entire inside of the building are a must see. We went through the tunnels underground and absolutely! Loved it! So many restaurants and coffee shops. Lots to see."
"A very special building with great management and breathtaking details inside. From the bronze elevators to the chandaliers to the old-school envelope slips, this building is like going back in a time machine."
"The whole experience of my visit felt like magic: from golden elevator doors with people running around with cookie jars to tourists and their guides admiring the architecture."
