We've stayed at the St. Cecilia twice and both times we've found the grounds, the rooms, the various facilities (pool, parking, kitchen, bar) were perfect. It's located near the cool stuff on S. Congress but a block away from the noise and is so very quiet and relaxing. The vegetation is lush, the wrought iron gates and lighting at night is very charming. The rooms are so unique. This will never feel like a "hotel" but rather some boutique mansion in the city.

Perfect urban getaway tucked just off of South Congress. If you appreciate old homes with character, and want to feel like you’ve stepped back in time while having modern amenities, this is the perfect place for you!

Hotel Saint Ceclia is a beautiful hotel in the heart of the South Congress Ave shopping and restaurant district in Austin. The property is adorned with old oaks and English ivy that makes the grounds, restaurant, bar, and pool area feel very secluded. Our pool side cabana (No.11) was neat as a pin, spacious, clean, and very comfortable. The entire property has a 50s/60s cool vibe that isn’t contrived or pretentious. More like a throwback to Austin before Austin was discovered by the rest of the world. We relaxed, had some boozy cocktails, delicious meals, and a great time. Our new favorite Austin hotel.

8/10 Very good

We had a mostly pleasant stay. The staff was courteous, and our room was very nice and clean. The property itself is beautiful and well maintained. The burger and fries were amazing — definitely a highlight! That said, the air conditioner in our room wasn’t cooling properly, and the temperature never dropped below 74 degrees, which made it uncomfortable at times. Also, the bartender had a bit of frantic energy and the espresso martini unfortunately missed the mark. Overall, a lovely property with great food, but a few service and comfort issues kept it from being a perfect stay.

This is the very definition of a “Boutique Hotel”. Everything about it is special; the design, the grounds, the vibe. It’s all sensational. Yes, it’s expensive. However, it’s hard to put a price on tranquil luxury in the center of Austin. Instead of a hotel pool with 75 people swimming in human soup, you get the most idyllic pool with maybe one or two other guests. Instead of jockeying for a spot at the bar, you get a lounge with a bartender who pays attention to you. This place is special, and we’ll be back for sure.
