In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Cocktail bars and lounges line West Sixth Street right outside, and Shoal Beach is a short walk away.
The rooms
Rooms have cooling memory foam mattresses, and pull-out refrigerated drawers replace the usual minibar.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Orange loungers and curtained cabanas surround the heated plunge pool on the second-floor terrace overlooking West Sixth Street.
The gym
On the ground floor, the 24-hour gym has Peloton bikes, free weights, and cardio equipment along mirrored walls.
Verbena Bar and Courtyard
Globe pendants hang over the marble bar counter, which opens out to courtyard seating beside an outdoor fireplace.
At the table
Tables sit beside an open kitchen and wood-burning hearth, serving locally sourced Texas fare from breakfast through dinner.

Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.

Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.
Local
It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.

Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.

A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene

Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.

Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
