TIME Magazine, a global publication with an audience of more than 100 million people just named Fort Worth’s very own Bowie House, Auberge Resorts Collection to its list of the “World’s Greatest Places of 2024.” This list, which ranks 50 places to stay and 50 places to visit worldwide, drops the mic on one of the city’s newest luxury hotels located at on the bricks at 3700 Camp Bowie Blvd.
Opened in December of last year, in the Cultural District side of town, Bowie House is one of the newest hotels of it size and style in Fort Worth.
The 10,000 square foot interior of the hotel features elements reminiscent of the West and can host up to 400 guests at a time. Behind this chic structure are eleven unique townhomes separated by a central courtyard. A 225-stall parking garage sits underneath the hotel. Bowie House also boasts two in-house restaurants, Bricks and Horses, a contemporary chophouse, and Whinny’s, a light bite eatery that includes frozen drinks and salads.
“The character of the hotel meets my vision,” Jo Ellard, owner of Bowie House, told Fort Worth Magazine in December. “I want people that come here from all over the world, or even the locals, when they walk in here, they realize that they are in Fort Worth, Texas, and that it has a unique culture. I want it to have a Western influence and an equestrian influence. But I want those influences to be subtle and very sophisticated in their presentation. We have achieved that.”
Some of the other spots that made up the TIME Magazine list include White Desert (Antarctica), Anantara Convento di Amalfi Grand Hotel (Italy), Le Grand Mazarin (Paris), Fontainebleau (Las Vegas), and the Four Seasons Resort Koh Samui (Thailand) to name a few.
“Bowie House’s soul is the west; its spirit transcends that,” the TIME article read. “The spacious, light-showered guest rooms—studios, lofts and suites—are the stuff of cowboy dreams, equipped with a hat rack, boot jacks, and a bar cart, as well as plenty of upscale touches like rain showers, and, in the signature Goodnight Suite, a crackling fireplace that invites cocooning late into the evening.”
