With its wraparound porch, Corinthian columns and commanding perch on Judge's Hill, this stately building is hands-down the most photogenic inn in town. Visually striking Texas modernist artwork adorns the walls in both rooms and common areas, setting this new boutique hotel apart from its competitors. The hotel car service transports guests to destinations within a 3-mile radius.
Prices seem high for the smaller rooms (which may have views of junky college apartments), but the inviting parlor bar will keep you away from the room anyway. Valet-only parking is $25 per night. The pet fee is $150 per stay.
