typically, when I think of texas, I imagine: cowboy hats, ranches & miniature ponies; not a dreamy bohemian hotel. That’s what I love about austin though … The city’s eclectic vibe is always pushing things to the limit. I fell upon Hotel San José when I was visiting my sister last year. It is one of those experiences where you feel like you’re hooked up to an i.v. full of love-drugs the whole time. truly surreal. with 40 custom designed rooms, you are bound to find the perfect place to hang your hat. plus, they even stock their mini-bars with read-to-make salsa kits! it doesn’t get much better than that. don’t think you can handle the texas heat? no worries–they have a pool ready for you to take a dip whenever your heart desires.
For those of you who are thinking about booking for next year’s SXSW, the waiting list opens May 1st & they start booking June 1st. So, get on it…They will fill up fast.
Until next time,

I’ve stayed here and LOVED it! Austin is such an amazing city. I usually stop in for a champagne cocktail on the patio next to the pool when I’m in town. Across the street from the Hotel San Jose is a wonderful bar and music venue, The Continental Club.
Great tip! I’ll have to try the Continental Club next time I’m in town.
I could live at that hotel. In fact I’m always referencing it for inspiration. The Continental Club is a must go. Good suggestion Mary.
The lush greenery on this patio is making eager for a vacation! Texas sounds ideal…
<3 San Jose hotel-it's so cute.
This looks so lovely and relaxing! I wouldn’t mind staying there one bit!
wpw – that is a stylish hotel!
I adore that place in every sense of the word!

Such fun, expected pops of color. And I LOVE the landscapes and succulents. What a beautiful place–
this looks so amazing, unlike any hotel I have ever seen.
I think this calls for a trip to Austin

Austin is a great city, I have found so much great architecture and interior designs here, there’s a plethora of cute boutiques and shops for accessorizing. I’d never heard of Hotel San Jose but will definitely keep in mind, I would KILL CATS to go back :)
This space is just stunning! I swear I could look at these photos all day.
I have stayed there and loved it. Get a michelada in that gorgeous courtyard, or iced coffee from Jo’s next door (which has live music sometimes).
My only wish is that the hotel’s pool were a bit bigger. Austin gets H-O-T.
The outside of the hotel is magnificent, so naturally beautiful. It looks so relaxing there. Inside I like the white couch with all the colorful, mixed pattern pillows. Lovely pictures…I just want to lounge by that pool.
Does anyone know where I can find that striped robe that’s hanging in the closet? I looked on the hotel’s website but they only sell an off-white spa type of robe! :(
My goodness, how lovely! I think the outdoor spaces look the most divine though!
Thanks for sharing this Nice!! Great info great people great blog. Thank you for all the great sharing that is being done here. Thanks!
Ahhh Hotel San Jose is truly an Austin gem! Love stopping by there for a drink every now and then!
I agree! Staying there is a surreal experience! I truly loved every minute of my stay.
