Why it's on the list
Downtown's showpiece: a rooftop pool cantilevered eight feet past the building edge behind glass, so you swim out over Main Street ten floors up and look straight down. The single most distinctive pool in Texas.
The stay
The Joule is a design hotel first and a place to sleep second — a landmark building on Main Street turned into one of the most art-forward stays in Texas, with a lobby that pulls in people who never booked a room. You're in the walkable heart of downtown, close to the Arts District and easy to base out of without a car. At $$$$ you're paying for the address, the art, and that pool as much as the room — worth it if the design is the reason you're coming, a stretch if you just need a well-located bed.
We may earn a commission if you book through this link — it never changes what you pay, or what makes the list.
