The Carpenter Hotel - Historic Union Hall Transformed into a Pool-Side Austin Retreat
Located in South Austin's leafy district, this boutique Austin hotel occupies the historic Carpenters Local 1266 Union Hall from 1948. The Carpenter Hotel features 93 guest rooms with concrete floors, mid-century banquet seating, and platform beds with striped textiles. A 24-hour front desk, room service, and free WiFi serve guests throughout the property. The onsite Carpenters Hall restaurant, housed in the original brick building, offers indoor and patio dining with a menu highlighting Texas produce and proteins. Hotel Coffee café provides locally-sourced coffee, empanadas, breakfast tacos, and sandwiches. The outdoor pool includes a red phone for poolside food service. Situated one block from the Ann and Roy Butler Hike and Bike trail, the property stands within 1 mile of Zilker Metropolitan Park, Barton Springs Pool, and 1.5 miles from the Austin Convention Center.
Pros
Historic union hall architecture preserved with original brick walls and honey-colored wood details
Record player available in communal space for guest entertainment
Half-price wine bottles offered every Wednesday
Poolside yoga classes and local vendor markets regularly hosted
Cons

“The Carpenter Hotel is a reimagined union hall with authentic retro vibes that is truly an architectural gem; its location is ideal, near Zilker Park and a stone's throw from the Hike and Bike Trail. I appreciate the communal spaces, like the coffee shop, which seems perfect for a gathering. Overall, it's a comfortable, stylish base for exploring Austin.”
