The Bar/Lounge at Hotel Saint Cecilia

"All have luxurious Haastens beds, a mini-bar stocked with local cheeses, pâtés, and wines, uniquely refinished antiques, and unconventional artwork ranging from rock photography of Keith Richards to vintage Cuban movie posters"

"For added flair, there is an extensive library with vintage music and films, and a mini-bar with unusual treats from around the world"

"Jasmine and fig vines climb up the walls around the rectangular 50-foot pool, which is surrounded by white loungers and black-and-white striped umbrellas"

"After spending the night on one of these, you can have breakfast crepes in the lounge area while gazing out at the old oak trees and ponder what you could possibly do to make your life any better"

"It features a sexy lounge (complete with patio seating), spacious grounds, and uber chic rooms that meld with Austin's weird vibe and cool music scene via distinct decorative touches and amenities"

"The lounge serves a charcuterie plate and cocktails and stays open until midnight, something that could be a problem if you’re trying to sleep in a nearby room—it can get loud on weekend nights"

"Of the five units in the main house, the only one to avoid is the ground-floor unit, which must endure the comings and goings and tete-a-tetes in the neighboring lounge"

"Jasmine and fig vines climb up the walls around the rectangular 50-foot pool, which is surrounded by white loungers and black-and-white striped umbrellas"

"After slurping flavorful pho with oolong tea on neighbouring South First , we pause for a nightcap in the hotel lounge"

"And if you can’t get a room, on a slow night you might be able to talk your way into the bar for some celeb-spotting"
