Valencia Group’s new hotel in Austin’s The Domain is open. Sales manager Katelyn Martin showed us around Lone Star Court, including the lovely Water Trough Restaurant pictured here. The 123-key property has a retro/rustic Americana feel and is oh-so-Austin, down to the food trucks that’ll set up on the property. (One is owned and operated by Valencia Group, and the other offering will rotate.)
Katelyn hopes the real draw will be the outdoor courtyard area (under construction when we stopped by earlier this month) with a 1,600 SF covered pavilion, and campfire area. The idea is to get residents having fun out of their rooms. (Better than starting fires in their rooms.) Three buildings of guest rooms are already open; the final one opens any day now. RTKL Associates is lead architect, and Lauren Rottet and Christy Ten Eyck round out the design team.
