Commodore Perry Estate, Auberge Collection
Austin, United States · ★★★★★ · 9.6/10 Exceptional · guest rating
Luxury boutique hotel in a historic mansion in Austin's Hancock neighborhood, with a pool, restaurant, bar and the University of Texas a few minutes away by car.
Commodore Perry Estate occupies a large historic property in the Hancock neighborhood, north of downtown Austin. The photos show a stately building, arched galleries and a pool area surrounded by gardens, with the feel of a private estate rather than a city hotel, away from the downtown traffic.
Rooms combine canopy beds, patterned walls and bathrooms with colorful tile, all carefully decorated. The hotel has a restaurant, a bar, a fitness center, room service and a 24-hour front desk, and pets are allowed. With a small number of rooms, service tends to be more personal; confirm services, hours and conditions with the hotel before you arrive.

The setting
The mansion stands in a leafy residential neighborhood, away from downtown noise, yet only minutes by car from Austin's main sights. There is an outdoor pool, arched corridors and classic-style common areas. Rooms have details such as canopy beds and green-tiled bathrooms, and they differ from one another depending on the section of the building.

Worth knowing
