Hotel Saint Cecilia
Hotel Saint Cecilia was originally built in 1888 as the Miller-Crockett house and is among the five remaining Victorian homes of twelve originally built along this stretch of the Colorado River. Each of this Austin luxury hotel’s five suites, six poolside bungalows, and three studios consequently embody old-world elegance. Additionally, the secluded property and lush grounds offer guests a calming sense of privacy from the heart of South Austin. Chiefly, Saint Cecilia’s 50-foot heated lap pool is their crowning jewel, open to guests twenty-four hours a day. Pop music history lovers will especially love how deeply music is integrated into this property. For example, all rooms and suites also offer Rega turntables and Geneva sound systems. Additionally, the hotel invites guests to borrow from their library of vintage LPs, rock biographies, and poetry anthologies.
