Fodor's Expert Review Carpenter Hotel

Tucked away just south of downtown and Lady Bird Lake, this addition to the local Bunkhouse Hospitality group comes with a hip look that attracts some of the city's chicest travelers. Each room boasts a small terrace, some overlooking the outdoor pool and lounge area where live music and special events are hosted every week. Carpenter's Hall, the full-service café, offers everything from espresso, kolaches, and breakfast tacos on-the-go to a great brunch, lunch, dinner, and cocktail menu.
