Hotel Saint Cecilia

The lighting in the bathroom was very difficult that would be my only complaint

.

all of it! lovely property and rooms nothing bad

We loved this place!!! We will be coming back here when we are in Austin. The staff was amazing. The food and drinks were excellent. We enjoyed the pool and it was close to some of our favorite restaurants.

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.

Beautiful grounds, lovely room with comfy sheets and bed!

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.

Everything was impeccable and the property was stunning. They made the most incredible Beef Steak Tartare (double Yummy) and they customized a non alcoholic drink for me...he even supersized it...I can't recall the barmen's names but they were both very accommodating. I tried a white hot tea for the first time and I am hooked! Pool was very nice. I had 2 different rooms and both exceeded expectations. Lots of nearby shops, dining, gyms and plenty of parking. The bed was ultra cozy and my balcony overlooking the city was a pleasant surprise. I will try to upload photos later. It was a walkup (no elevator) but the staff immediately assisted with my suitcase. I would have liked to extend but I had to fly out again. Apart from that absolutely - No complaints. I will be sure to return. It is a special place.

No coffee maker in the room. Costs of all items were very high. Beautiful space but over priced.

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.

Everything about my stay at the gorgeous St. Cecilia was just perfect. The staff are next level and made sure that my every need was taken care of. I can’t wait for my next stay. Thank you for a most memorable birthday weekend!!

Traveling with our two dogs. This was the most accommodating property we've ever visited with our pets. Great experience.

Great staff, properly and location.

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.

great staff.....great room, well stocked except for the vodka...someone refilled with water so when I went for a drink. Nice area.

One of the best hotels I’ve stayed at. Loved everything. Only complaint is that the pool was too cold. It didn’t stop me from swimming but it would have been much more enjoyable if warm. Other than that, the hotel was amazing and we will definitely be back!

Charming historic hotel in a great location, charming patio and cool lounge

Great

Stayed multiple times. Always amazing.

The perfect little oasis!

I love this property.

Everything. The pool, the lounge, the grounds. Our studio room was so cool and cozy. The record player and vintage couch were a nice touch. Gorgeous spacious bathroom and a comfy bed. The staff was incredible, we felt comfortable and taken care of. Couldn’t have been better. It didn’t affect us, but climbing stone stairs with luggage could be a struggle for some! I’m sure accommodations can be made for those unable to carry bags up the steps.

Austin is known for being quirky and this hotel is. Location is superb; right off Congress. Perla is up one block. We had drinks served poolside one afternoon. Drinks were delicious and being able to sit under a covered arbor in the shade was wonderful, given Austin’s warm temperatures this time of year. Lovely, large room with seating area and bar/sink. Would definitely stay here again!

Location and open space right on South Congress, restaurant is amazing, bar service and staff have been there forever and are all lovely

We loved all the details ! Definitely coming back next time we are in Austin! The records, impeccable design, the amenities in the room, the staff is really kind, also located in a really lovely area

Great location and boho feel - spacious room. Car parking on site and excellent gym nearby which you can use as a guest Staff were a bit grumpy when helping out and breakfast system was not great - hanging card the night before but not collected - felt ike they were short staffed

Loved everything about it! The depth of design thought of the rooms, the overall style, the hip quirkiness. The staff was welcoming, professional, helpful and kind. Wish my stay could have been longer!

I had a piece of gum stuck to the bottom of the remote, they came and cleaned it up, but I felt that there should have been more done since I paid so much-- they said they would help out but didnt. odd. I choose night hotels bc I want them to be clean

Superb

Breakfast was delicious Breakfast was very expensive- seemed disproportionate. I think a little more direction on how to get to check in would have been appropriate when we called from the parking lot. Considering the distance it would have been nice if someone had asked if we needed help with our bags.

The grounds, restaurant, pool, staff and rooms were all exceptional.

Quiet, unassuming, helpful staff, large comfortable room

Great location for visiting South Congress and downtown is walkable. Nice chilled surroundings. Very expensive for what it is and no breakfast included - apart from location it lacked any extras and would not qualify as a high-end hotel in Europe. Nice pool but music too loud so not as relaxing as you’d expect.

It did not have a gym

We booked a king studio but ended up staying in a poolside bungalow. It was very spacious & clean. Loved having two private outdoor seating areas. The location was perfect for exploring S. Congress & an easy walk to 6th St. The grounds were beautiful. Staff were all nice. We didn't use the pool, but it was heated and clean (a few leaves but that's expected). Super frustrating trying to get ready, especially when staying for 4 nights. The bathroom is way too dark to apply makeup. Attempted to get ready at the breakfast table which again was super dark. Tried sliding it closer to the window. The table literally weighs over a hundred pounds with these iron legs jutting out on the left side of each corner. Watch your knees! Resorted to getting ready on the patio every morning. Thankfully it was private. The refrigerator is crammed full of their own products for you to purchase. There is no coffee maker or hot water kettle. The mattress needs to be replaced as you can feel the springs. The record player does not work even after having the missing needle replaced.

We loved the location, the staff, the room and the vibe of the hotel. It was walking distance to downtown but being on south congress, had such a far away feel. The room was spotless and the bed was so comfortable. We are moving around a lot in Texas and this is by far our favourite hotel and we’ll be back the next time we’re in Austin! We would have loved some tea and coffee making facilities in the room.

Everything! The staff were amazing. The Hotel had a great 'energy'. Very relaxed. Very quirky and cool. And loved the candle and matches that they left in my room every evening. Lovely touches!

Perfect location just enough off of South Congress to feel like a peaceful oasis. Great staff, fun and comfortable room, and really lovely grounds. Can’t wait to return.

I loved how secluded it felt. I loved the location. It was magical.

Exceptional
