I recently stayed at the Carpenter Hotel and absolutely loved it. Nestled in a pecan grove just south of Lady Bird Lake, it blends city convenience and a laid-back, outdoor vibe perfectly. Staff was friendly and low-key.

Amazing, unique stay! I loved my stay at The Carpenter, the decor was so thoughtfully done and the rooms were clean and comfortable. The staff was fantastic and friendly as well! (Shoutout to Victoria for being so sweet and helpful when my flight got canceled and asked to spend an extra day). I will absolutely be back, thanks for a wonderful stay!

The hotel is aesthetically pleasing, with thoughtful design and quality products in both the rooms and common areas. However, I haven't seen many reviews mention the dog daycare located right behind the hotel. If your room is on that side, be prepared for nearly constant barking starting at 6am. Charging nearly $400 for a room facing such noise feels unreasonable. This hotel is worth staying at, just ask for a room on the other side of the building.

Early this morning before 8:30 a.m., I had a wonderful interaction with Mr. Joseph at the front desk and he was very accommodating. He has excellent customer service and was very patient as he assisted me with ordering room service and even delivering it to my room. I would like for him to be recognized for his exceptional customer care and attention. Great Job!!!

What a wonderful experience! The hotel is so clean and aesthetically pleasing. I come here regularly for the coffee! Caesar is always so warm, welcoming, and polite. What better way to start the day with a hot cup of coffee from Caesar, a friendly face and a kind soul.

We loved everything about the Carpenter Hotel! The room was fabulous, had enough space, had a balcony, a refrigerator and a fabulous shower! I have longer hair and it was no problem to wash my hair in the shower with the ample water pressure. The cafe has the most amazing coffee and treats in the morning. We didn’t have other food from the hotel so we can’t say how that is. The pool looked beautiful but we didn’t find time to make it in. We’ll definitely bring our swim suits next time! The staff are wonderful and we felt very comfortable and welcome! The property is immaculate and very well maintained! Thank you, Carpenter Hotel!

Very cool hotel with a modern aesthetic. Everything in the hotel has such attention to detail, and the staff were really nice. Even though not many people do, it is definitely walkable to downtown, and we liked the location.
We were a bit nervous from some the reviews saying the dogs next door were noisy but we didn't hear them at all, and we were right next to them. Would stay here again!

My wife and I have been staying here for the last 3 days and we’ve been blown away by the kind staff, beautiful aesthetics and amazing food.

It easy to see that the hotel is beautiful, but the service, people and food really took us by surprise. I highly recommend eating here and stay here. The lady bird coffee drink is really creative and delicious.

I didn’t have a reservation and still got an awesome Large King room. The Check in process is super simple and the staff was excellent as well as helpful. The rooms are large and the bathrooms are so cool! Dinner in the dining room was perfection, I ordered the Butchers Cut Steak and it was immaculate!!! Breakfast was not good at all however so maybe skip that 😂 The landscape and the location make this a no brainer! Thank you Carpenter Hotel for making my impromptu trip something to remember. Highly Recommend!
