Hotel Ella

Hotel Ella is a boutique luxury hotel in the historic Goodall Wooten mansion in the Hyde Park neighborhood of Austin, a property whose 1900 Colonial Revival architecture, landscaped grounds, and residential character give it a sense of Austin history and neighborhood authenticity that the downtown luxury hotels cannot replicate. The Hyde Park location gives groups a quieter and more residential experience of Austin while remaining only minutes from the University of Texas campus and the city center, and the mansion's parlors and veranda create event and reception spaces with a genuine historic character that the newer boutique properties in the downtown corridor cannot offer. For planners booking Austin programs for smaller groups who want a hotel with genuine historic architecture, a residential neighborhood setting, and a boutique scale that enables a more personal and intimate event experience than the downtown convention hotel tier can provide, Hotel Ella is the most characterful and historically grounded small luxury option in the Austin market. Similar properties worth benchmarking include The Driskill and Hotel Saint Cecilia.
