The Carpenter Hotel - Industrial Chic Style in Austin

Location:

Austin USA North America
DesignIndustrial

Opened in 2018, this hotel in Austin is true to its name. It proudly exposes building materials inside and outside, has a pool with a quirky hangar to hang out, fancy food, and 93 rooms with brick-laden balconies.

It's hard to keep up with Austin's development boom, but luckily there are still some prime examples of what keeps the city weird, in the best meaning of the word.

You are a short walk from the Pfluger Pedestrian Bridge, Austin's coolest attraction. You can watch the scenic sunsets with the city's skyline in the foreground on a comfy bench without noisy and smelly cars passing by.

The Carpenter Hotel Exterior With Fine Metalwork

Located close to the Colorado River in the Southern part of Austin, the Carpenter Hotel is housed in a mid-century brick building plus a Brutalist-style extension for the hotel's rooms.

The Carpenter Hotel Main Entrance

So, brick lovers rejoice as the orange building blocks (sometimes painted in white) appear on the facade, the reception desk, the walls of the rooms, and even shape the balconies' balustrade.

The Carpenter Hotel Walkway Brick Separator

The Carpenters Hall restaurant used to be home to Carpenter's Union Hall, and thankfully the building's new owners have respected the historic structure.

The Carpenter Hotel Reception

At first glance, you will be confused about which is the original and which is the new building, as the work was so well done.


The original structure houses the lobby and the restaurant, and as you walk through it, the connection between old and new is seamless.

The Carpenter Hotel Merchandise Shop

The hotel sells its own merchandise and souvenirs, so you can take home a piece of Austin.
