Bowie House, Auberge Collection

It just might be the most stylish building in Fort Worth, Texas; it’s surely the city’s most extraordinary luxury hotel. Bowie House, Auberge Collection is indeed a member of the same hotel group responsible for some of California’s most desirable stays, and while it’s consistent with the brand’s high standards for design and comfort, you certainly can’t say it hasn’t been painstakingly localized, from cowhide armchairs in the lobby to the local artworks and upscale Texan cuisine. The rooms and suites are spectacular, as is the pool terrace, and the rest of Bowie House’s common spaces are as inviting as they are impressive.
