Hotel Ella began life in 1900 as one of Austin’s grandest homes; today its columned porch, garden terrace and quiet pool make it the city’s most graceful small stay.




It sits in West Campus near UT Austin, within a mile of the Capitol and Sixth Street — close to everything, calm in every way.
This 4-star mansion hotel offers a garden terrace, a serene outdoor pool, a bistro serving Texas classics and rooms that mix heirloom charm with modern ease.
For parents visiting UT, romantics and travelers who prefer a porch to a lobby.
