Important Hotel Information:

Housed in a painstakingly restored colonial-style building, the Mansion at Judges Hill in downtown Austin offers Belle Epoque luxury accommodations worthy of a cattle baron. Yet, in contrast with many other luxury hotels, the Mansion at Judges Hill offers up enough Texas hospitality and personable charm to qualify it as a “boutique” hotel. Much of the hotel’s 1929 Neiman Marcus decor and furnishings remain. From the lobby’s stunning crystal chandeliers to the innovative gourmet dishes of star chef John Maxwell, the Mansion at Judges Hill earns its accolades by providing authenticity and glamour. Guest rooms are decorated individually, although all sport Edwardian furniture and richly textured fabrics. Four poster beds in walnut and mahogany complement the butter-colored walls and sweeping velvet window treatments. In the dining room, you are served with china and crystal beneath exquisite golden chandeliers. Rich reds and golds evoke the feel of the Edwardian age, but the menu proves that the old can be successfully blended with the new. Delight in exciting modern dishes such as ahi tartare with chickpea lavash bread, or timeless classics like buttery-tender Hereford steak.
