Hotel Services

Hotel Magdalena provides complimentary wireless Internet access and concierge services. A lobby shop sells a fragrance of the same scent as the hotel. Native Texas species including Meyer Lemon Trees, Bigtooth Maples, Redbuds, and Yaupon Holly are on the grounds. This hotel design pays homage to the local lake house ethos of the early 1970's. The property sits on the slopes of Barton Springs.

“Hotel Magdalena's location on South Congress places guests at the heart of Austin's cultural scene, with walkable access to shops and restaurants. The hotel's design evokes a relaxed lake house vibe, and the outdoor bar by the pool is a particular draw. I found the curated design and comfortable rooms a plus, contributing to a stylish and memorable stay.”
