The grand entrance, with all the cute staff in even cuter uniforms.
The bathrooms kept it simple, which is for the best, I think. Aesop products and a good robe. Nothing extra.
Mood lighting. Kids were in bed. Parents went cocktailing.
Pre-breakfast at The Peacock.
Golden hour at Goldie’s.
Our room, and that good Texan light.
Lux linens, super comfy mattress. No complaints bed-wise, aside from the fact that I would have liked to spend more time in it.
Lobby bar, before the crowds descended.
Same bar, another angle.
Pattern on pattern on pattern. Layering is in, haven’t you heard?
The gorgeous hotel lobby, notice the gingham ceiling, please.
Austin fan club.
A selection of ceramics in the lobby, do you think I could smuggle some home?
A stairway that leads down into the lobby. There’s a lot of good carpet in this place.
They didn’t go light on the wood around here. I’m into it.
In the reception, there’s plenty of good seating situations going on.
The flowers at Goldie’s were as good as the gin tonics.
The pool, only available to hotel guests.
The bar at the Mockingbird, I mean the tiling was just beyond.
Early morning, exterior of the Mockingbird, (with my husband on a work call).
Me and the babe, on our way into the Peacock.

Very kid friendly. Staff incredibly welcoming and helpful, there were no eye-rolls here.

Aesop products in big bottles - yummy products and less plastic waste, hooray! (though nothing to take home with ya, if that's your thing).

Lush, waffled bathrobes from Parachute.

Fab design by Kelly Wearstler throughout. No detail neglected.

There were only two coffee capsules for the in-room coffee machine: could be a bit more generous.

The Peacock is the main spot, serving Eastern Mediterranean fare throughout the day, with a killer wine list. There's a bakery / cafe called The Mockingbird which is perfect for a morning coffee and croissant.

Bar
There's the main bar in the lobby, which is very buzzy come cocktail hour. And Goldie's - a guest's only / reservation required sunken bar at the back of the hotel which is definitely worth a visit.
