A Fabulous Garden Design Destination Hotel in Austin Texas: Hotel St. Cecilia

September 7, 2009

The Hotel St. Cecelia in Austin, Texas has recieved some pretty good press for its design since opening last year. Happily when I stumbled upon it and started snooping around via the internet, I learned that the exciting design isn’t just inside. Mark Ward and his landscape design team did a good job on the exterior too. The style is completely eclectic, and there many things to be inspired by.

I am thinking this must be the before picture of the pool?  Or perhaps the pre-accessories,  I have to say, I prefer the pool area after the addition of the red bean bag furniture and the Soul sign. It gives all a bit more interest.   What do you think?

This might be my favorite picture…that blue is one of my most favorite colors (I painted my wicker porch furniture this color) and I love how the chevron black and white tile goes right from the inside to the outside.

This is a great effect, I immediately thought of koi in a pond.  Such a clever effect for an elevated porch.  It absolutely gives me the impression that the creator if this property is clever and full of surprises that I would enjoy checking out.

A check at Tripadvisor gives the hotel rave reviews.  If you are interested in learning more, Carolina Eclectic has a few more great shots at her flickr site and blog.

    It looks like a pretty nice hotel although I’m not crazy about the bamboo. Alas, there is little hope of ever seeing something like this in my neck of the woods.

    Cool digs…but they are a little too proud of themselves at $675 per night. Austin’s cool, not that cool.

  3. danielle shelton says:

    I find myself extremely fortunate to have found your blog. It is thoughtful and insightful and I believe gives me the tools to create a great outdoor space for me and my family. Because I enjoy your blog so much I have provided a showcase for it in my own blog http://blogrevue.wordpress.com, because I feel that more persons should be exposed to your good work and insight. Thank you for all your effort!
