Having resided in Austin for numerous years before relocating a decade ago, we still maintain ties with family there. This recent visit was prompted by a wedding just before Christmas, a time usually daunting for travel and accommodation arrangements in Austin, given the holiday exodus that thins out the city and often leads to understaffing at even the finest hotels. For years, we've favored intimate boutique hotels over standard ones, drawn by the unique experiences they offer. The recommendation for this hotel came from friends who raved about their recent stay, setting our expectations high, as they usually are for any property we've frequented (as reflected in my past reviews). Nestled almost at the heart of Austin, this small-scale establishment lived up to its reputation. It's a stunning amalgamation of aesthetics, functionality, sophistication, and comfort. The limited number of rooms encircle a beautiful and practical wooded atrium, with a common room that surpasses any description. The establishment maintains an age limit, ensuring a serene and peaceful environment absent of bustling children—a personification of tranquility. Although the entire experience is digitized, a feature that might initially raise concerns for some, the property manager, the wonderfully attentive Mike, personally reached out to us anytime he saw us during our short stay—a level of care that's increasingly rare. Finding any flaws during our stay would require an exhaustive search. This hotel represents the direction of the future—a seamless blend of modernity and hospitality.
