The Best Boutique Hotels in Austin, Texas
Austin’s boutique hotels are dotted across the city, each offering guests something a little different. What they do have in common, however, is their attention to detail and their commitment to “Keep Austin Weird.”
1. Kimber Modern Boutique Hotel
Boutique Hotel
The first thing guests will notice about the Kimber Modern Boutique Hotel is its fresh, minimalist exterior. Once inside, you’ll see bright colors that fuse the modern architecture and mid-century interiors.

6. Archer Hotel
Boutique Hotel
A true pearl of North Austin, the Archer Hotel offers a high-end, chic stay for its guests. The interior design pays homage to its city, and the eight-story exterior’s limestone and wildflowers are a nod to its Texas roots. The on-site Second Bar + Kitchen serves up handmade cocktails and an acclaimed menu from chef David Bull. Guests can rent cabanas by the pool deck, and the city’s popular Domain outdoor mall is a short drive away.
7. Lone Star Court
Boutique Hotel
Inspired by the motels of the old days and its Austin and Texas Hill Country heritage, the Lone Star Court by Valencia Hotels looks like a ski lodge but with the luxury of a true boutique. Located inside North Austin’s Domain outdoor mall, the Court’s rooms pop with color and offer a mix of mid-century modern and backwoods cabin design. The vintage look of the pool deck, surrounded by the wooden walls of the lodge, creates a cozy, peaceful atmosphere. At night, take a trip outside and warm up near a campfire while sipping on some of the handcrafted cocktails from the hotel bar.
