La Maison in Midtown is touted as a slice of European flavor in the heart of Houston. Owners Sharon Owens and Genora Boykins run the seven-room bed-and-breakfast, located within walking distance of the city’s finest restaurants and lively entertainment venues. Guest rooms are outfitted with the same luxury amenities you’d expect to find in a five-star hotel, including a private spa bath with a walk-in shower, couple’s rain shower, or Jacuzzi tub.nBut it’s the Texas hospitality that keeps guests coming back, many of them referring to this small B&B as their “home away from home.” A few cultural haunts travelers may want to visit: the Houston Museum of African-American Culture, Buffalo Soldiers National Museum, and Eldorado Ballroom, a historic nightclub that showcased music legends like B.B. King, Ray Charles, Etta James, and James Brown.
