The Rice Hotel was built by Jesse H. Jones, Houston's first big real estate tycoon. At seventeen stories and 680 rooms, it was the largest hotel in Texas when it opened and it functioned as the semi-official hotel of Houston until its closing in 1977. It was rehabilitated as apartment lofts in 1998 by PageSoutherlandPage.
