Time Magazine has named a Fort Worth boutique hotel one of this year's greatest places in the world.

Why it matters: The list reflects trends in the travel industry and what travelers are looking for this year, including other-worldly art and design, active travel and learning more about the regions they are visiting.

Fort Worth's Bowie House joins several high-profile destinations, including a bath house in Istanbul, an Iceland resort boasting views of the Northern Lights, luxurious camps in Antarctica and a cableway connecting Switzerland and Italy.

How it works: Last year's list featured 50 cities worth traveling to. Texas wasn't part of it.

This year, Time took nominations of places such as hotels, cruise ships, restaurants and attractions before choosing 100 destinations worth visiting this year.

Zoom in: Bowie House, which opened in 2023 in Fort Worth's Cultural District, was chosen because of its "Texas-sized charm" mirroring "Fort Worth's zeitgeist," Time says.

The room decor includes hat racks, bar carts, boot benches and leather-wrapped furniture.
They've also offered guest experiences, including trail rides, line dancing, private museum tours and personalizing a Texas rag tie.

Yes, but: Rooms are over $400 per night, surpassing $800 for weekend nights in August.
