Hotel Daphne

I fell in love with Daphne during my stay. It was a rainy couple of days, so every time I got back to the hotel it felt extra warm and welcoming. From the valet opening the door with a smile and a “welcome back”, to the familiar greeting from the front desk, to the bartender at Hypsi getting to know you so well that he starts preparing your order before it even leaves your lips, Hotel Daphne is one of those places that just *gets* its guests. Hospitality at its best. The thoughtfulness in the hotel’s design is top notch, the bathrooms, bath products, and showers are *to die for*, and the fantastic staff treated my dog like a queen. There was no detail overlooked. Not to mention, all of the art displayed throughout the hotel is original (so rare these days) and intentionally placed. I can’t sing her praises enough. 11/10 will be back.

Hotel Daphne is quite impressive with its art forward chic design. I’m always a fan of a solid boutique hotel and Daphne checked ALL the boxes. The rooms are modern but cozy….mine had a nice downtown view while overlooking the treetops of the historical Heights neighborhood. I highly recommend their restaurant, Hypsi, with its vibey and energetic atmosphere paired with delicious mixology concoctions and exceptional cuisine. I recommend the Duck Bolonese. Personal favorite. Will 100% revisit Hotel Daphne next time I’m in Houston….and again and again. -Kevin D

Super excited to have a cozy unique hotel in the Heights for guests visiting to get a solid feel for one of the best and most historic neighborhoods Houston has to offer! I can’t wait to have a staycation myself. Seeing renderings and driving past have already left a great impression on me and I can’t wait to stay and get the full experience once it’s open!

Well the idea of a hip hotel in the Heights really got me! My friend booked a room so as to be close to her family. I went to pick her up and arrived a bit early in hopes of grabbing a cocktail! The bar/restaurant was 1/3 occupied but the 6 seats at the bar were occupied! My friendly demeanor moved no one and when asked if I could grab a quick cocktail I was abruptly dismissed. “We are booked for the night” and “sorry”. Hmmm So I sat in the lobby and no one even asked to get me water. Sorry not sorry. Not how you treat people. There is no way all tables were occupied for the next hour but again, nothing. Maybe after the newness is gone the owners may decide to give a bit of love to those who drop in

Beautiful and chic hotel in the Heights! Unlike anything we have in the neighborhood. The restaurant was fabulous. The ambience was great and we especially loved the mozzarella bar cart !

Absolutely stunning hotel! Staff is very friendly and eager to help! Food was delicious, drinks were tasty! We will be back

Best hotel in town !! And staff is awesome 😎

Best hotel in town!

As part of the Hyatt group, this small, quaint and cute hotel recently opened up. Maybe a week or so that located in the Heights very walkable to the restaurants on 19th. The exterior of the place has a few things they are still finalizing details but what I did see on the inside looked very boutiquish. I would say this place fits in nicely to the Heights. Reception area isnt like the traditional grand entrance but are warm and inviting area. On this trip I spent my time at the bar / restaurant area. I think its called Hypsi. The place was nicely filled with people. I'm not sure if the folks were staying or were like me taking in the vibe. On this occasion I joined my friend and we sat at the bar area, that is integrated nicely with the dining area seating. The menu seemed to be Italian leaning items but seemed to be the right size. On this occasion I had the Orecchiette, which is an Italian pasta dish. What I also notice the prices on their dishes were extremely affordable and who doesn't like affordable in these times. Overall, I think this will be a nice add to the neighborhood and when the weather warms up a bit they have a nice patio area that blends with the dinner area well.
