Welcome to the country club, your home away from home during the Round Top Antiques and Design Show. The hospitality pavilion at the PaperCity | Round Top Publishers World Headquarters, The Halles, is being reimagined as a VIP lounge and chill zone — a first of its kind at the shows. The lounge will debut during the upcoming fall show — October 16th through October 30th.

In addition to the most serene meadow view in Round Top (cows included), the VIP pavilion will offer lounge and table seating, and installations from the Contemporary Arts Museum Houston’s Nurture creating artist in residence Preston Gaines, as well as high-speed Wi-Fi, charging connections, clean and spacious restrooms, a full bar and topnotch food.

A respite is top of mind for any designer or shopper hustling between Round Top show venues. Use the VIP lounge as a sanctuary for meetups with friends, and sandwich your day with complimentary muffins and mimosas in the morning, then margaritas and queso at the end of the day. In between, shop the Round Top Antiques Show Guide partners (generally known to be the best of show). Grab a bite and ask the concierge staff where to go next. You can treat yourself, entertain, or gift clients with VIP tickets to The Halles.
