Suppose you ever read any of my other travel guides about things to do in Houston. In that case, you’ll already be familiar with my love of all things historical, so it won’t come as any surprise to you that one of my favorite places to head to in Houston is the Museum District. I just can’t get enough.

If I’m planning a trip for leisure in Houston, I almost always try to book hotels in the Museum District; that way, I’ve got easy access to some of the best museums in the city.

No matter how many times I visit the Museum District, I always find there is something new and fascinating to see and do, with 19 museums packed with enrapturing exhibits, fun activities, and inspiring displays of artwork.

So, whether you’re visiting the area to learn about the history of Texas, to view some fine arts, or to take part in some hands-on experience at the Museum of Natural Science, this guide is going to give you some great ideas about the best hotels in the Museum District so you’ll have all this right on your doorstep.

Ultimate List of The 5 Best Hotels in The Museum District, Houston

Throughout this guide, I am going to focus on what each hotel has to offer in terms of services, facilities, and amenities, as well as reflect on my personal experience with each hotel.

Of course, you’re looking for hotels with excellent access to the Museum District, so I won’t go into too much detail about things to do in the area. They’re all very close together, with a fabulous array of restaurants, bars, and of course, museums within walking distance.

You will also notice that for each hotel, there is a section that mentions a price per night. However, I must stress that this is only to be taken as a guideline. This is the average price for a room at the time I wrote this guide, and depending on your personal preferences, this price could vary. The time of year you visit will also impact the cost.

These beautiful modernistic, newfangled apartments are right on-trend at the moment in terms of decor, amenities, and general style. They are minimalist while still aiming to provide you with everything you need for a relaxing stay.

There are a few spaces to choose from when selecting your apartment. However, I have only ever stayed in one of them, which was the superior two-bedroom apartment that had a private balcony.

It also had a fully-stocked kitchen with all the necessary equipment, a cozy lounge with a comfortable sofa, a flat-screen TV, and stunning views.

The bedrooms were both spacious, and I had one of the best night sleeps I’ve ever had in the comfortable King-size bed. There is also ample closet space which I always think is a welcoming bonus.

The bathroom was stunning, with cream marble flooring, a bath, a walk-in shower, and, again, tons of storage space, which is great if you’re here for a long-term stay.

I realize that many of the residences I have discussed so far have been apartments and full houses, so just in case that’s not what you want here for and you prefer a classic hotel setting.

Hotel Zaza describes itself as a feast for the senses, and upon arrival, it’s clear to see exactly where this phrase stems from. The style and decor in this hotel are sublime, and you’re blown away by something new and exciting around every corner. You’d have to see it for yourself to know what I’m talking about, truly.

Here, the primary sense of style is dark, gothic, grand, and majestic. It almost feels as though you’re on the set of a movie.

The hotel has a cool bar area, which is in keeping with the style of the rest of the hotel, with low light and dark furniture.

There is a private pool with ample sun loungers, and the rooms offer stunning views of the city, especially in the evening when the fountains are lit up and at full flow. It’s a sight to behold with the Houston skyline in the background.
