Visiting the largest hotel art and antique collection in the US

Centuries-old works of art adorn the vast public spaces of the Hilton Anatole Hotel - so much a part of the place that guests often pass by without even noticing.

No surprise it's located in Texas, where the state is often remembered for the slogan, "Everything is bigger in Texas."
