Hotel Daphne is a 49-room boutique hotel in Houston Heights, set in a newly built five-story property that leans into the neighborhood’s historic grain without pretending to be old. The mood is residential and a little bohemian: custom upholstery, vintage pieces, carefully chosen antiques, and a mix of rooms and suites, some with terraces or balconies. On site, Bar Daphne gives the house a social center with cocktails and bar bites, while the hotel also offers a restaurant, room service, valet parking, laundry, pet-friendly policies, and spaces for small gatherings. It feels designed for people who want a quieter corner of Houston with a bit of character attached.
