The Carpenter Hotel opened in November 2018 at the site of the original Carpenters Hall Local 1266 next door to Barton Springs in Austin. Zilker is a neighborhood celebrated for its natural beauty and proximity to dining and shopping on South Lamar Boulevard. The hotel has 93 rooms, all with terraces, and is nestled in an old pecan grove. A pool opens to a courtyard and a Quonset hut pavilion. The restaurant, Carpenters Hall, is helmed by Chef Grae Nonas, known for his cooking at Olamaie. With his “new eyes on old Texas,” his menu pays tribute to the culinary influences of the German, Czech and Mexican settlers who shaped what’s considered Texas cuisine today. Ingredients are sourced locally whenever possible and dishes are prepared simply to highlight their ingredients. The old union building also houses Hot L Coffee, an easy stop for Merit coffee, kolaches, salads, sandwiches and all kinds of baked goods. carpenterhotel.com
