The Carpenter Hotel

In an old union hall in a grove of pecan trees at the edge of Zilker Park, The Carpenter Hotel is near pretty much everything. There's good food, good drink, good coffee and a pool for hot, lazy days. The Carpenter Hotel has 93 rooms, all with terraces, in a new concrete and terracotta block building. The pool opens to a courtyard and a Quonset hut pavilion that can serve as a pool cabana, event space or shaded, cafe seating.
