Every spring and fall, the tiny Texas town of Round Top booms into an antique lover’s paradise with their biannual shows. The Round Top Antiques Show brings designers, collectors, and treasure hunters from across the country to explore miles of curated collections, vintage finds, and one-of-a-kind pieces. If you're planning a trip, here’s our guide to making the most of your time—from the best stays to can’t-miss venues.


Cozy Stays

Hotel Lulu – A stylish boutique hotel with a European-inspired courtyard, Hotel Lulu offers an elegant escape just steps from the action. Bonus: their on-site restaurant, Lulu’s, is a local favorite.

The Frenchie – A modern farmhouse-meets-eclectic getaway, The Frenchie combines historic charm with contemporary design. Perfect for those looking for a unique and artful stay.
