Photog friend visiting in April…

Photography is her job so it’s crucial that we book a hotel close to an area with the skyline/“cool Houston stuff” as a backdrop (I’m familiar with BBP but iffy on the actual “areas” in houston) but which areas do you think would you best and most convenient/easily accessible for good views/walking distance restaurants or bars or whatever casual + a hotel (or Airbnb) local close to either airports. So tell me: best area with the things I’m looking for to reside for the weekend as a fun trip. Just not familiar with the different parts of Houston like that. TIA
