About the Hotel
The Carpenter Hotel - A Historic Union Hall Reimagined with Pool, Restaurant, and Green Space Access
Located in a reimagined 1948 Carpenters Union Hall at 400 Josephine Street, this 3-star Austin hotel features 93 guest rooms with concrete floors, mid-century banquet seating, and platform beds. The property houses Carpenters Hall restaurant, serving breakfast through dinner with Texas-inspired dishes, including German heritage Chicken Schnitzel and locally-sourced breakfast tacos. A coffee shop in the main building offers empanadas, pizzas, and sandwiches, while a pool with a red phone enables direct food ordering service. Guest rooms include mini-fridges, safes, and TVs, with some featuring private terraces. The Carpenter Hotel sits one block from the Ann and Roy Butler Hike and Bike trail, and a short walk leads to Zilker Park, Barton Springs, and the Green Belt. The property places guests 1 mile from Barton Springs Municipal Pool and 0.5 miles from Auditorium Shores at Town Lake Metropolitan Park.
