Hotel Saint Cecilia

Nestled on an acre of lush grounds in a quiet neighborhood adjoining Austin’s vibrant South Congress district, Hotel Saint Cecilia continues to grow its reputation as an iconic Austin hideaway. The 20-room secluded estate blends suites, bungalows, and studios housed in a 19th-century Victorian mansion (recognized by Austin’s Historic Landmark Commission as the Miller-Crockett House) with contemporary buildings surrounding a tree-lined courtyard. Inspired by the patron saint of music and poetry, the property offers a retro, glamorous rock-and-roll retreat infused with Southern hospitality, where guests can borrow albums from the extensive vinyl library or unwind in various lounge spaces, from the cozy fireplace to the lush grounds, while many rooms have their own outdoor seating. The hotel’s intimate lounge and bar, outdoor courtyard, and signature heated “SOUL” pool lie beneath towering 200-year-old live oaks, delivering a decadent yet relaxed atmosphere.
