Looking for a luxury getaway in Round Top? Hotel Lulu combines historic Texas charm and incredible design to create one of the most stylish boutique hotel experiences in the state.

There are plenty of reasons to visit Round Top, like the shopping, the food, and, of course, the small-town charm. This tiny Texas town somehow makes you feel like you have stumbled into the chicest little corner of the world.

And then there’s Hotel Lulu.

Located right in the heart of town, Hotel Lulu is one of those places where you immediately start taking pictures before you’ve even checked in. It is stylish without trying too hard, luxurious without feeling stuffy and packed with the kind of vintage details that make you want to hit the local shops for treasures to redecorate your own house the second you get home.

A Boutique Hotel With Serious Round Top Personality

Hotel Lulu was created from the historic Bybee Square and has been reimagined into a boutique retreat. It feels more like a collection of stylish guesthouses than a traditional hotel. Spread across historic buildings and bungalows, each guest room features its own personality and a carefully curated mix of antique and vintage furnishings. This is exactly what makes it feel so quintessentially Round Top.

Basically, if your dream Pinterest board became a hotel, it might look something like this.

The Rooms Are Just as Stylish as You Would Expect

The hotel offers 17 individually designed rooms and suites ranging from cozy rooms for two to larger suites perfect for a girls’ trip or special occasion getaway. Some accommodations feature private porches, soaking tubs, additional bedrooms and plenty of space to spread out.

The rooms also come with a plethora of luxury touches, including Frette linens, Le Labo bath products, French presses, robes, wireless chargers and Tivoli Bluetooth speakers.

There’s Also The Most Relaxing Pool

Texas weather and hotel pools go together for a reason. Hotel Lulu’s pool area is surrounded by gardens and offers the perfect place to slow down between shopping, dining and exploring town.

Round Top can be busy, especially during the famous antiques shows. Hotel Lulu gives you a place to escape the crowds, order a drink and pretend you have absolutely nowhere else to be. Which is really the whole point of a getaway.

Eat, Drink and Stay a Little Longer

One of the things that makes Hotel Lulu stand out is that you don’t have to leave the property to have a great meal or cocktail.

Lulu’s, the hotel’s restaurant, serves what the hotel describes as Italian-ish cuisine, with options for brunch, lunch and dinner. Meanwhile, Il Cuculo transitions from a coffee stop during the day into a lively cocktail lounge at night.

The interiors at Il Cuculo are a whole experience on their own, with bold design and a hand-painted jungle-inspired mural that will have you snapping plenty of pics for your Instagram feed.

Hotel Lulu Is a Destination All on Its Own

You don’t just book a room at Hotel Lulu. You book an experience. From the antique-filled interiors and luxurious amenities to the pool, gardens, restaurant and cocktail bar, this is one of those boutique hotels that makes the place you stay just as memorable as the destination itself.

So, yes, go to Round Top for the antiques. Stay for the small-town charm. And if you really want to make the most of things, book a room at Hotel Lulu.

That’s where you’ll find me – sitting by the pool with a cocktail and trying to figure out how many treasures I can fit into my car before driving back to Austin.
