Daisy's Assessment
Researched and verified. Not yet personally stayed.
A twenty-room guest house on a private acre off South Congress, built around an 1888 Victorian mansion with live oaks and a heated pool. It suits couples who want a hideaway with a rock and roll streak. Dogs of any size are welcome for twenty-five dollars a night, which is the lowest luxury rate in the city. The grounds are guests only, and there are no lifts.

Why it's in the collection

The gated garden acre is a calm, traffic-free stroll, and the Lady Bird Lake trail is about nine minutes on foot with the South Congress strip and Stacy Park close by.

Best suited for

Any size dog with advance notice, and no lifts, so upper floors are by stairs.

Tell the hotel in advance. Dogs are welcome across the guests-only grounds and at the poolside, which is rare. Access to the indoor Lounge dining room is worth confirming when you book. There are no lifts, so the upper floors are by stairs.

Where we can't yet confirm a detail first-hand, we mark it plainly rather than guess. A Daisy stay will close every gap.
