After a decade of relatively regular business travel, rarely does a Monday airport check-in come that I’m not already longing to land back home. But something happened this past week that hasn’t happened in recent memory: I was in no rush to leave my hotel. In fact, after a few cocktails on the patio of my poolside bungalow, I was... More

My fiancee and I stayed here last month and loved it. From the moment you check in you know that you've arrived somewhere extraordinary. Grab your room key and a collection of your favorite LPs to play on the record player in your room that's hooked to a sound cube. Settle in to your room and you'll see that the... More

Lots of cool factor, sure. But all sizzle and no steak. Rooms were lovely but, not luxurious. For $500, here is what you don't get -- assistance with baggage, an iron in your room or even a bottle of water on a hot day. (You get nickel-and-dimed for $9 on top of your $500 for the h2o.) The entire room... More

Due to my job, I'm a heavy traveler, and I spend about 50 nights per year in a hotel. I typically stay in Westin's or W's or Sheratons and occasionally a Hilton or Marriott. So when I read reviews claiming the St Cecilia is so special, I was a bit skeptical. Nonetheless, I canceled my reservation at the Austin W... More

This is my 3rd time staying at Hotel Saint Cecilia and I am here to tell you this is one of the coolest hotels in the country. It is so stylish without being pretentious. We stayed in a room near the pool and it was nothing short of amazing- good sized with our own private patio and firepit. The service... More

I booked a pool room for two nights recently based on the lovely pictures on the website. Now, as I have seen before, many hotel chains usually show their best rooms to sell the category, but, this really was a bit of a misrepresentation. The room looked bright, full of windows with views of the gardens. So, imagine my shock... More

I travel a lot and this hotel is one of the stranger ones in which I have stayed and while expensive, not an easy room to live in. We were there as part of a wedding party, so we saw many other rooms and spoke to other guests about their rooms. Everyone complained that their room did not have enough... More

We went to Austin with 2 other couples to celebrate a special birthday. We stayed 2 nights at Hotel Saint Cecilia and it was wonderful. This is a very different type of boutique hotel. The grounds are amazing - huge, beautiful water oaks bending to the ground with lush vegetation all around. We sat outside under one of these trees... More

The location can't be beat and it's incredibly nice to be in sort of a natural *compound* in the middle of Austin. A quick walk to the shops and restaurants of S. Congress and a super short drive to anywhere else this hotel gets #1 for location. The rooms are nice and spacious. The bed was comfy. I couldn't really... More

This boutique hotel is amazing from your first step onto the property. The grounds of the hotel make you forget where you are and you truly feel like you are on vacation. The staff is very accommodating and the suites are absolutely beautiful and full of character. I was ready to move right in. The location is perfect for walking... More
