Texas Hotels

Texas draws large numbers of visitors and is a popularly visited destination in the United States. Few other states boast such a diverse landscape ranging from mountain peaks, to clear beaches and bare desert, as Texas. Texas is home to a number of unique cities including Houston, Dallas, and San Antonio - each of which offers some of the best hotels in Texas.

Houston, the largest city in Texas, is perhaps most famous for being home to the NASA Space Centre. Houston's skyline is distinctly drawn by its tall skyscrapers which boast a modern architectural style. A notable building which stands out amongst the skyscrapers in the city is the Hyatt Regency Hotel which is located in downtown Houston. The Hyatt Regency is one of the most well-established hotels in Texas, and is located in close proximity to most attractions in Downtown Houston. Downtown Houston is a great place to explore with family or alone. Some fun things to do in the area include watching a Broadway show at one of the Houston theatres, enjoying the outdoors in Market Street Park or Sam Houston Park, and browsing around The Shops at Houston Centre. Another interesting thing to do in Downtown Houston is take a Public Art Tour which showcases the different styles and techniques employed in the architecture of public buildings in the city.

Another prominent city in Texas is Dallas. Dallas boasts an abundance of parks, art institutions and a wealth of tourist attractions. Dallas enjoys a temperate climate and can be visited at any time of year, although the summer months are the best time to enjoy the beautiful parks and to engage in outdoor activities such as golfing, cycling and boating as well as hiking through nature trails. When in Dallas, be sure to visit the popular Reunion Tower; a landmark building in the city where the tourist information office is located. Other notable attractions include the Sixth Floor Museum, Lake Park and the Aquarium & Zoological garden. A great place to stay in Dallas is at The Mansion on Turtle Creek, a luxury accommodation establishment that is amongst the best five-star hotels in Texas.

San Antonio, the most visited city in Texas, has a distinct Mexican influence. The city is packed with history, art, and fun things to do for the whole family. Aside from its all-star basketball team, San Antonio is famous for its most well-frequent tourist attraction; The Alamo. A national monument that is now the most renowned building in all of Texas, The Alamo served as a fort and a church for missionaries until Texas gained independence, and the building thus speaks of the country's heritage. Another popular attraction to visit in San Antonio is the River Walk, a promenade that lines the San Antonio River and offers great shopping and dining opportunities. The River Walk also features a fascinating Museum of Art. A great way to visit the Museum is to take a sunset River Cruise on water-taxis that are available at different points along the River Walk. If you are looking for a luxury hotel in San Antonio, consider staying at the prestigious Hotel Valencia River Walk, a Spanish-inspired establishment which offers nothing less than the best in comfort and promises immaculate service.
