Hotel Saint Cecilia

The more upscale cousin of Hotel San Jose, Hotel Saint Cecilia offers a luxurious take on Austin’s signature style of effortless cool. Named after the patron saint of music and poetry, Saint Cecilia aims to be the type of place that a modern-day version of the Stones might record Exile on Main Street at. In fact, the Foo Fighters did just that and named their 2015 EP after the hotel. The 14 rooms are all equipped with organic beds from legacy Swedish manufacturer Hastens, kimono bathrobes, and body care products from revered NYC perfumery Le Labo. Check out a record from a library of vintage vinyl for listening on their Rega turntables, but make sure to bring your swimsuit: the 24hr, 50 ft heated lap pool, illuminated by a neon sign reading “Soul” makes for a great lifeguard.
