Das Eigentum — Minute Suites
Minute Suites is a minimalist airport sleep and shower pod located airside inside Houston's George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH). Lobby feels like a sterile, quiet corridor — think soundproofed capsule cubicles with a twin bed, desk, TV and private shower. Best suited for layover travellers needing a reliable, clean nap between flights, not a leisurely hotel stay.
Chroniken von Houston
Houston was founded in 1836 on land sold by the Allen brothers, named after Sam Houston, and quickly grew as a railroad and cotton hub. Its 20th-century boom came from oil refining and NASA's Johnson Space Center, which shaped its sprawling, car-dependent layout. Architecturally, the city mixes glassy downtown skyscrapers (e.g., JP Morgan Chase Tower) with low-rise strip malls and restored bungalows in neighborhoods like the Heights. Today, Houston is America's most ethnically diverse metropolitan area, defined by its energy industry, world-class medical center, and a thriving culinary scene that melds Tex-Mex, Vietnamese and Southern influences.
