Daphne, like the Heights, balances luxury and soul. The building is new, but the oaks around it are old. The furniture is trippy and upholstered, arts and crafts meets botanic psychedelia.

Hotels Own Introduction
A Design-Led Hideaway in Houston Heights
Set within the historic enclave of Houston Heights, Hotel Daphne is a 49-room retreat shaped by artistic heritage, architectural character, and a quietly intriguing past. Conceived as a guesthouse for both travellers and locals, it offers a stay that feels intimate, expressive, and distinctly rooted in place.
A New Chapter by Bunkhouse Hotels
The latest project from Bunkhouse Hotels, Hotel Daphne brings a refined yet relaxed sensibility to a neighbourhood defined by creativity and renewal. Tucked into a residential setting, it balances privacy with proximity to the cultural pulse of Houston.
Spaces to Gather and Unwind
The hotel features an all-day restaurant and bar, a library that doubles as a private event space, and a signature retail shop in the lobby—each element reflecting Bunkhouse’s thoughtful approach to hospitality and community.
Rooms with Character and Craft
Guest rooms and suites are designed to echo the creative spirit of the Heights. Custom-upholstered beds, curated antiques, and vintage accents create a layered, lived-in aesthetic, while select suites offer additional space and private balconies.
Artistry in the Details
Throughout the hotel, design details reveal a deeper narrative—from bespoke carpeting inspired by Strawberry Thief to carefully selected textures and finishes that lend each space a sense of individuality.
A Stay with a Sense of Place
Hotel Daphne captures the evolving energy of Houston Heights—where history, creativity, and modern comfort intersect—offering a retreat that is both personal and quietly distinctive.
