List of Most Attractive Cities in America

Thursday, April 20, 2017
HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- Travel + Leisure has released its annual survey for America's Favorite Places, and the results rank cities across the country in categories like food, culture and style.

One category gives Houston and another Texas city props for its pretty people.

Out of 15 cities in America, Houston ranks at No. 9 on the list.

"Beyonce is from Houston. Tom Ford, Patrick Swayze, and Matt Bomer, too. That list alone should earn Space City a high score for attractiveness. But T+L readers also note the city's penchant for fashion. Montrose neighborhood's boutiques and the enormous Galleria Mall's 375 luxury shops ensure Houstonians always look their best. See them wearing athleisure clothes in any of the city's 337 parks, or in black-ties and gowns at performances from the world famous Houston symphony, ballet, and opera companies," T+L wrote.

Surprised? We're not. We do have Erik Barajas, a finalist for people's hottest anchor.


Can you take a guess about the other Texas city with the honor? Here's a clue: the River Walk. Yes. San Antonio is No. 15 with T+L saying, "San Antonians themselves were just as eye-catching as the cityscape."

Here's the full list below:

1. Honolulu, Hawaii
2. Boulder, Colorado

3. Scottsdale, Arizona
4. Salt Lake City, Utah
5. San Diego, California
6. Nashville, Tennessee
7. Charleston, South Carolina
8. Denver, Colorado
9. Houston, Texas

10. Madison, Wisconsin
11. Alexandria, Virginia
12. Las Vegas, Nevada
