Frame Hotel
South River City, Austin
MICHELIN Guide · Condé Nast Traveler
Vibe
Multi-level wooden decks wrap around century-old live oaks and a glass water feature, creating a discreet adults-only retreat with keyless entry.
“Live-oak canopy oasis”
Elevated multi-level courtyard decks weave through heritage live oaks around a glass water feature.
Original works by Austin artist Minden Ten Eyck hang beside century-old native live oaks.
A walnut common room and shaded courtyard offer complimentary espresso and an honor bar.
Tucked among live oaks on a residential cul-de-sac just off buzzing South Congress Avenue.
Rooms
Floor-to-ceiling glass frames the tree canopy, complemented by custom platform beds dressed in Sferra linens, local artwork, and deep soaking tubs.
Backstory
Austin architect Burton Baldridge designed the modernist building in 2008, engineering a rain-screen facade that curves around the site's preserved heritage trees.
Eat & drink
A walnut-paneled common room pours complimentary morning espresso and keeps a curated honor bar ready for evening drinks on the deck.
The neighborhood
Hidden on a quiet Travis Heights circle, you are steps from the vibrant dining, vintage shops, and live music along South Congress Avenue.
“Tucked away between the taco bars and boot shops of South Congress Avenue, Frame Hotel is a minimalist oasis in one of Austin’s liveliest neighborhoods. There’s no front desk, no elevator, and no pool or restaurant, just a collection of calm, elegant suites set around a lush courtyard garden with a koi pond, fountain, and custom-made lounge chairs and café tables.”
“Leave the buzz of the bustling city behind (while remaining in the center of it) and be immersed in tranquility from the second you open the hulking metal door of Frame Hotel – SoCo. Inside, a bubbling fountain and koi pond set the tone for serenity.”
