An outdoor swimming pool and garden provide recreational spaces, while complimentary wireless internet and concierge services cater to business needs.

Pros
Property overlooks downtown Austin and the State Capitol
In-room cocktail service available upon request
Eight-seat intimate bar positioned in an airy central space
Limited indoor dining space during inclement weather
“This hotel strikes a chord with its refreshing take on Austin's lake-house vibe, offering a cool escape from the city buzz. The outdoor bar sets a lively scene, while the restaurant's live-fire grill adds a touch of culinary drama. With its natural landscaping and cultural events, the hotel feels both stylish and deeply connected to the spirit of South Austin.”
