Culture-seekers will love this apartment with its ideal location in Houston’s Museum District. Known for being one of the best cultural destinations in the country, the area boasts eclectic restaurants, parks and trails, and no less than nineteen world-class cultural institutions – so there's no shortage of things to see and do here. Inside your home, pared-back contemporary decor creates an easy-going vibe with French doors letting plenty of natural light shine in. Open these up and step out onto a private balcony – the ideal spot for morning coffees or cold beers at sunset while feasting on views of the city’s skyline. With a large bed that beckons many a dreamy night’s sleep and a sleek kitchen and dining area at which to enjoy homemade feasts when you’re not out sampling the area’s food scene, you’ve got everything you need for a care-free stay. Away from your home, the Houston Museum of African American Culture is a four-minute walk, the Houston Museum of Natural Science is walkable in twenty and leafy Hermann Park is fifteen minutes on foot from your door. 


Culture Club

Centrally located in Downtown Houston, this gorgeous industrial-style apartment is an ideal base from which to see the city’s sights. Inside, exposed brick walls, wood floors and a large open-plan layout create a cool warehouse vibe that beautifully contrasts with the soft furnishings and sleek, chic decor. We love the Crittall-style windows that allow plenty of that Texas sun to shine through and the inviting breakfast bar that’s perfect for hearty breakfasts and cosy dinners when you’re not out exploring your area’s vibrant food scene. With a beautiful bed beckoning sweet dreams and a communal lounge and fitness centre in your building to get days off to an invigorating start, you’ve got everything you need here for a happy Houston stay. When you’re not hanging out in your hip pad, catch the Houston Symphony playing at the Jones Hall for the Performing Arts (a five-minute walk), stroll through leafy Buffalo Bayou Park (a twenty-minute walk) or catch an Astros game at Minute Maid Park, twelve minutes on foot from your door. 

Houston Jack

Situated in Houston's aptly named Museum District, this stylish home with a private balcony provides a refined base for admiring the city. Here, there's no shortage of cultural delights. Leafy pedestrian streets flaunt art galleries and museums galore, with an eclectic array of dining spots too. 

You'll find this home proudly perched above this delightful neighbourhood. Inside, it's a canvas of gleaming white walls and hardwood floors adorned with stylish decor. We love the open plan living space, with its cosy lounge, fully-equipped kitchen and nifty workspace nook. Here, large windows usher sunlight to flood the space, while offering dreamy views from every corner. The adjoining private balcony calls for mornings spent sipping on coffee and gazing at sweeping verandas across the city. Enjoy pastries at the sleek breakfast bar before heading out to make your way through the city's exhibitions and eateries.

Take a sixteen-minute walk to the city's recreational hub, Hermann Park, home to Houston Zoo, the Miller Outdoor Theatre and a picturesque Japanese Garden. Spend leisurely days here, basking in the sun. If you fancy being in the hustle and bustle, take a drive to Downtown Houston, eight minutes away

The Archivist

Sandwiched perfectly between Houston’s shiny Skyline District and its arty Theater District, this studio apartment offers the perfect mix of business by day, and leisure by night. In an imposing red-brick building with its own private 24-hour gym and garage for residents, studio living never felt so luxurious. To match the hip vibe of the city, you’ll be staying in a warehouse-style space with a real urban personality. Industrial elements like exposed brickwork, pipes, and concrete combine with plush furnishings like a thick knitted rug and a soft, grey, mid-century sofa. With rich, dark wooden floors bringing everything together elegantly, the decor has a cool and creative feel which makes this studio ideal for a weekend in the city. With the Theater District at your doorstep (and a metro stop of the same name six minutes away), head out for a night of culture at one of its many venues. The Hobby Center for the Performing Arts is a ten-minute walk away, while the Bayou Music Center is just six. And why not finish off the evening with beer and bourbon on bustling Main Street, just five minutes from home. 

The Thespian

Houston’s Downtown area isn’t all about its dominating Skyline District of shiny glass buildings. It’s also home to the Theater District, a wonderfully cultural region where creativity thrives in many local venues. To make the most of this exciting neighbourhood, you can stay in this equally creative and cool apartment, a three-minute walk from the Alley Theater, six from the Bayou Music Center, and ten from The Hobby Center for the Performing Arts. This huge red-brick building might subvert your expectations of city centre living. While it has that ‘converted warehouse’ sensibility from the outside, the entrance is incredibly luxe. Towering palm trees, thick marble floors, and lofty ceilings welcome you to the building. Upstairs, a similar theme continues with industrial aspects in your apartment such as exposed pipes, wires, and brickwork, alongside an ornate metal bed frame and a plush Persian-style rug. The entire space is illuminated by huge windows, with long, thick curtains shielding your peaceful slumber from the bright lights of the city. But if you're a night owl, you can make use of the 24-hour residents’ gym, or head out to vibrant bars on Main Street, five minutes away. 

The Composer

The land on which this Plano home sits used to be a set of natural springs, but they have since been dredged and turned into small lakes with habitats for ducks and turtles. What this means for guests coming to stay at the address is that there's a lovely view of peaceful waters to be enjoyed while seated on the covered terrace.

This isn't the only standout outdoor space at the property. Wander to the other side and you'll find an invitingly blue swimming pool and spa surrounded by loungers and a fire pit. Add to that a children's play area, and it's easy to imagine spending most of your time outside here.

This is slightly a shame given how impressive the interior is — the stark white walls, wooden floors and sleek surfaces in the kitchen and bathroom combine together for an atmosphere that's modern but not completely devoid of personality.

In local Plano, both the Heritage Farmstead Museum and the Interurban Railway Museum take around ten minutes to reach in the car. The very centre of Dallas can be reached in just over forty minutes' drive, too.

Spring Water

Heading for Dallas and looking for a sleek apartment right in the thick of things? Then this exclusive serviced aparthotel, located right in the bustle of downtown, should be just the ticket. Expect the best of residential living with five-star hotel amenities here. There’s an impressive, shared gym to bank a workout, but we think it’s poolside, complete with waving palm trees, where you’ll be wanting to spend your downtime. Inside, you’ll find an immaculate apartment with some modernist interior touches nodding to the building’s 1950s facade. The lounge has heaps of space for you to spill out after a day gallivanting around Dallas, and there’s a well-equipped kitchen area for rustling up a meal. Or mosey on downstairs – there are six buzzing bars and restaurants right on your doorstep. Linked to the aparthotel, and with guests all receiving a discount, it would be impossible not to have fun in the rooftop bars, underground speakeasy, gaming hall, and bowling alley. And when it’s time to discover other corners of the city, make a beeline for the nearby Reunion Tower (five-minute drive away) – the unofficial symbol of Dallas - for sky-high panoramas of the city. With its 260 flashing lights, you’ll never lose your way home.

Flower Reflection

This bright and contemporary apartment comes with a surplus of luxury mod-cons and sociable outside spaces. Breathe in the fresh Bouldin Creek air and feel far removed from the fuss and flutter of Downtown Austin – and yet, less than a half-hour walk from all the action. The home itself is the perfect place to kick back after a day spent eating, drinking and doing, with its pastel blue tones, warm wooden flooring and chic decor. We love how the floor-to-ceiling windows offer urban vistas from the comfort of your sofa, although our favourite spot is undoubtedly outside on the private balcony. With sweeping views of the unspoiled landscape and comfy Acapulco chairs, we can think of no better start to the day than sipping your morning coffee out here. Fans of impressive viewpoints really will be spoilt for choice with the rooftop terrace and barbecue area overlooking the city skyline across Lady Bird Lake. There's also a gym, outdoor pool and sauna room for those looking to work off last night's overindulging supper. Speaking of, there's a host of local eateries to devour. Walk to Juan Pelota Cafe for breakfast tacos or Barton Springs Saloon for a cold craft beer – both are less than a twenty-minute stroll from your high-rise pad. 

Blue Sky Thoughts

This loft-style apartment in Houston’s sleek Skyline District is an excellent choice for business and pleasure travellers alike. Edgy, industrial interior design – think exposed brick, steel pipes, enormous windows and double-height ceilings – is tempered with pastel hues, while the artwork adds a homely touch. Pick a spot to nurse your morning coffee – when we visited, we would always choose the dining table; we loved basking in the natural light and people-watching from above. The on-site 24-hour gym will have fitness fans rejoicing but if you’d prefer to take it easy, there’s a communal lounge to hang out in. When you’re ready to explore, the city is right on your doorstep. It’s a five-minute walk to the lively Theater District and the Wortham Center, home to the Houston Ballet and Grand Opera. Catch some sun in Buffalo Bayou Park – perhaps rent a kayak and paddle down the river. Hop on the Metrorail at Preston station, four minutes from your building, and alight in the Museum District for an afternoon of history and culture. And when hunger strikes, the innumerable eateries with Texan-sized portions are sure to set you right.

Rarin' To Go

Reach new heights in this stylish spot situated just a ten-minute stroll away from Houston's cultural hot spot – The Museum District. With nineteen world-class museums in easy reach, it's safe to say you'll learn a thing or two when staying here. Standing tall, the building boasts large windows, which invite in plenty of natural daylight.  The apartment offers optimal open space and ensures a sociable stay – yet with your own slices of privacy when needed. Neutral tones in greys, browns and beige create a warm and welcoming place to relax in at the day's end, while the contemporary design ensures utmost comfort and practicality. Take a five-minute stroll to Hermann Park, where you can rent a pedal boat and float under the Texas sun. With a hugely diverse array of restaurants to choose from – there truly is something for everyone. Don't forget to sample the local southern food – Lucille's is just a ten-minute walk away and offers a cosy spot to taste some Southern classics. Whether you love shopping, food, nature, art or culture most, the Museum District has it all. 

New Heights

If you love the outdoors, this comfy home could be just the thing. Close to the Colorado River and just a fifteen-minute drive from Downtown Austin, it's part of a complex that boasts a pool and a pretty, communal courtyard shaded by trees. And it's something you'll be able to admire, either from your apartment's private balcony or from a cosy chair or hammock in the gardens themself. Inside, the home is smart and modern, with styling influenced by the Texan landscape – think cactus, rattan and traditional patterns. There's a well-stocked kitchen so you can cook at home all you like, or choose to use the shared grill area outside for some homemade barbecue. If eating out is more your thing, you're in luck too. There are bars, restaurants and live entertainment options right on your doorstep.    

Twisting Trees

Located within walking distance of Magnolia Avenue and a seven-minute drive from Downtown, your home is perfectly positioned to take advantage of Dallas Fort Worth's myriad of attractions. 

Settle into your modern four story townhouse where every detail has been carefully thought out. Brew up some coffee in the state-of-the-art kitchen then kick back and relax in the living room while you plan out the day's activities. In the evening, enjoy the last few rays of sunlight on the terrace, with a mojito in hand. A neutral palette, sumptuous beds, and soft furnishings make this home an effortlessly elegant abode to return to.

A must-see for makeup mavens is the Mary Kay Museum — a forty-minute drive away followed by a visit to the National Cowgirl Museum, an eleven-minute drive away. Nearby, you'll want to spend a day with the kids at the Fort Worth Zoo. Make sure to carve some time out to visit The Fort Worth Botanical Gardens, home to 2,500 species of native and exotic plants — just a ten-minute drive away. The highlight of your visit has to be a trip to the famous Fort Worth Stockyards — the world's only twice-daily cattle drive located in the Fort Worth Stockyards historic district, convenient to get to at less than an eighteen-minute drive away.
