Hotel Ella - A restored 1900s Greek revival mansion with a courtyard pool, Texas Modernist art collection, and fine dining
Housed in a classic Greek revival mansion from 1900, this historic Austin hotel features 47 guest rooms split between a 9-room original mansion and a 38-room North Wing addition. The property showcases legendary Swiss carver Peter Mansbendal's columns and an airy wrap-around veranda. Goodall's Kitchen serves farm-to-table American cuisine with seasonal menus, while the Ella Parlor Bar offers craft cocktails in a 20th-century setting with velvet banquettes and hardwood floors. The courtyard contains a pool surrounded by climbing ivy and jasmine, complemented by custom twinkle lighting. Business travelers benefit from 14675 square feet of meeting space with audio/visual equipment and seating for up to 250 people. Hotel Ella hosts weekly live music on the front lawn and regular wellness workshops. Located in downtown, the property sits within walking distance of the Texas State Capitol and less than a dozen blocks from the Blanton Museum of Art.

Limited number of rooms (9) available in the historic mansion section
“In my opinion, this historic mansion turned boutique hotel presents a unique Austin experience, particularly appealing for its proximity to the University of Texas and curated art pieces. The blend of original architectural elegance with modern in-room amenities, like custom furniture and advanced televisions, stood out to me. I think the versatile event spaces and wellness offerings, including health classes, enhance its appeal for both leisure and business.”
