Austin has its finger on the pulse of cool, and its boutique offerings are no exception—meticulously crafted for a globetrotting clientele, whether they're sightseers or industry magnates.

Tucked into South Austin, the verdant Zilker neighborhood is a graceful junction between the tranquil Barton Springs and the energetic thrum of downtown. It's here, under a canopy of pecan trees, that the Carpenter Hotel emerges as a peaceful retreat, merely a stone's throw from Austin's renowned landmarks.

With attractions like Zilker Park, the Barton Creek Greenbelt, and the Ann and Roy Butler Hike & Bike Trail nearby, it's wise to come prepared with sturdy shoes.

Stepping into the Carpenter Hotel is like leafing through the pages of history. Originally erected in 1948 as the Carpenters Local 1266 Union Hall, its bones whisper tales of yesteryears.

Then Bunkhouse came along—a maestro of crafting hospitality experiences that resonate deeply with their surroundings.

With the architectural expertise of Specht Architects, interiors touched by Bunkhouse, and the landscape envisioned by Word + Carr, the building's soul remains true—original windows, doors, wood veneer, and vitrines all preserved. Meanwhile, it's 'Old Texas' heart is showcased through curated vintage gems from The Renner Project and Nashville's Eneby Home.

The 93 guest rooms range between a simple queen, standard king, standard double, and large king. Each one features expansive floor-to-ceiling windows and its own private terrace.

Custom furnishings are displayed throughout, from the light fixtures to the desks, offering an authentically Austin stay.
