Bowie House, part of the Auberge Resorts Collection, opens its doors today, marking the debut of a luxurious urban retreat that encapsulates the distinctive character of Fort Worth. Positioned to be the city’s social hub, the hotel seamlessly blends the timeless Western essence of Texas with a contemporary touch. This fusion captures the accessible sophistication, cultural richness, and equestrian spirit that define Fort Worth, solidifying its status as a dynamic destination for global travelers. Situated on Camp Bowie Boulevard in one of Fort Worth’s iconic neighborhoods, Bowie House is more than a hotel—it’s a communal space, a living room welcoming both visitors and locals alike.

President and CEO of Auberge Resorts Collection, Craig Reid, expresses excitement about the opening, stating, “It’s with great excitement that we open our second hotel in Texas and expand the urban footprint of Auberge Resorts Collection in such a special city.”

Bowie House, conveniently located in the heart of Fort Worth’s Cultural District, offers 88 Studios, 12 Lofts, and 6 Suites that provide a warm Western ambiance. The architectural and interior design, masterfully crafted by BOKA Powell, seamlessly combines traditional elements with contemporary aesthetics. The hotel features a curated art collection, handpicked by owner Jo Ellard, including works by renowned artists like Ashley Collins and Max Zorn. Each space within the hotel reflects a blend of sophistication and comfort, aiming to create a unique Western home experience for guests.

The dining experiences at Bowie House are set to redefine Fort Worth’s culinary landscape. Bricks and Horses, the signature restaurant, under the direction of Executive Chef Antonio Votta, focuses on dry-aged local beef and embodies the spirit of Texan horse culture. The hotel also boasts other culinary venues, including The Garden, The Billet Room, and The Bar, each offering a distinctive setting for dining and socializing.

A highlight of Bowie House is its serene spa, Ash, providing a cutting-edge wellness experience unique to Fort Worth. The spa, inspired by the outdoors and the free spirit of Texas, offers various treatments, a fitness center, and a relaxation lounge.

Beyond its luxurious accommodations and amenities, Bowie House is committed to providing guests with one-of-a-kind experiences that celebrate Fort Worth’s cultural richness. From private dining at The Modern Art Museum to personalized hat fittings at the Nick Fouquet Shop, the hotel offers a diverse range of activities.

General Manager Gaylord Lamy notes, “Fort Worth is a culturally rich gem with some of the best parks, gardens, museums, restaurants, and entertainment in Texas, and we are excited to help open up this city to global travelers while providing a new and exciting home base for our beloved community.”

In addition to serving as a modern retreat, Bowie House functions as a versatile event space, offering over 10,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor venues for gatherings, celebrations, and corporate events. With a Texan soul infused into every corner, the hotel promises a unique and personalized experience for each event, embodying the spirit of the Western frontier.
