Fodor's Expert Review Carpenter Hotel
400 Josephine St., Austin, Texas, 78704, USA
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.
