Congress Avenue 512.442.4000 Wendow Fine Living (photo below) I’d be silly not to mention what I think to be the best home furnishings store in Austin — I’m a little biased, of course. 1512 W. 35th Street 512.284.9732 STAY Hotel Ella This newly renovated historic boutique hotel has a great bar and a very good restaurant too! It’s a cool venue for private events; I have been to a few where this property has been completely transformed. Photo from Wendow Fine Living. 1900 Rio Grande Street 512.495.1800 Hotel Saint Cecilia This hip ultra cool boutique hotel sits just off of South Congress. Some rooms are far better than others—so ask, for sure! The bar is a sultry, speakeasy-type space…very cool. 112 Academy Drive 512.852.2400 Lake Austin Spa Resort (photo above) We are lucky to have this award-winning spa just west of town. It is truly a luxury, and a great way to unwind and relax. It’s a perfect spot to get away without much planning or effort. Day guests or overnight guests are welcome, but you must schedule ahead. 1705 S.
