    “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.”

    “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! ”

    “Relaxed vibe, very boutique feel with gorgeous decor everywhere..24 hr access to pool. Record player. Staff were super friendly and went above and beyond. Grounds felt really private and well maintained. Free parking. We stayed in 2 different rooms, both were lovely but preferred the pool bungalow for privacy and space. I can see why celebs choose to stay here. We wished we could stay longer but it was fully booked so they helped us book their sister hotel next door (Magdelena) which was also cute decor wise, great brekky & staff etc but had a lot of guests and was more rowdy and less personal than St Cecilia’s. Big shout out to Tara who looked after us, extended our stay and made sure a pregnancy pillow and heavy bags were sorted out ☺️”
