Howdy Travel Fans,
It’s not possiable to describe how awesome the Midland Hotel and Chophouse truly is in just a few paragraphs but I will try. Giddy up!
An Incredible Travel and Delicious Destination When it comes to history, the Midland Hotel is truly captivating. The hotel opened on June 14, 1891, with reports indicating that Joel Fisher’s Hotel was nearing completion. By that time, the brickwork was almost finished, and the project was about to be handed over to the carpenters. Although it wasn’t officially named at that time, this structure was recognized as the Midland Hotel, as there were no other brick hotels in Hico then. The rest is a history in the making. Over the years, the hotel has experienced fire, renovations, and several remodels throughout its long and glorious history of 134 years.
The hotel is absolutely incredible, located right in the heart of downtow, with a large outdoor patio overlooking all the downtown activity. I enjoy sitting in the chairs, reminiscing about the days of old and the outlaws who once roamed these streets. With beautiful Texas-style furniture, creaky wooden floors, vibrant colors, and wide-open spaces inside, the ambiance is inviting. The exterior offers numerous patios and outdoor areas to enjoy the fresh Texas air and the bustling surroundings of downtown Hico. It’s also home to a variety of shops, restaurants, sweet shops, and even a fantastic store that provides a Texas-size selection of candy, popcorn, and fudge, all prepared fresh daily.
You can’t forget the amazing chef-driven, from-scratch kitchen at the Midland Chophouse. The menu is packed with Chef Eric’s fresh and delicious creations. Some highlights include his Pimento Cheese Croquettes, Reuben Sandwich, Red Chile Fried Chicken, House Made Cavatelli Pasta, Pork Chop Milanesa, Chicken-n-Biscuit, and Brisket Cheddar Biscuit. I won’t even mention his sweet and savory desserts, as just the thought of Chef Eric’s delicious offerings will make your mouth water. All I have to say is, “It’s so fresh and delicious it should be illegal in all 50 states—and don’t even get me started on the RED CHILE FRIED CHICKEN. OMG!”
The Petty Brothers King Suite overlooks downtown and is perfect for a weekend getaway. It features a king-sized bed, a small couch, and a dining area for two. It’s cozy, romantic, and unforgettable. If you’re looking for something exciting and unique, where the floors and walls tell a story, the Midland Hotel is the place to be. I highly recommend taking a ride down to check out Hico! They’re an officially approved Trey’s Chow Down Travel and Dining Experience that’s unforgettable.
If you love unique and unforgettable destinations, this is it!! Trey, Jana, and Team
