Two quiet‑luxury retreats in South Congress.

Rooted in design, built for privacy. Made for you.

Why Frame Hotel

Less But Better.

Frame Hotels are designed to cultivate a sense of rest. The sound of water, the feel of stone, and the warmth of lanterns at dusk provide respite from the city beyond.

Inspired by the Japanese concept of Omotenashi—hospitality that anticipates your needs before you ask—Frame Hotel offers a stay that is felt rather than explained. We trade the traditional front desk and lobby for a quieter experience built around privacy, independence, and seamless digital service.

How Frame Works

Privacy-forward, luxury without the friction.

Seamless keyless arrival:

Your digital door code activates at 4 PM. No front desk, no waiting.

We’re just a text away, with self-service guidance and local staff on standby.

As Seen In
Condé Nast Traveler

"These two family-owned sister properties under the Frame Hotel umbrella offer a tranquil respite, rooted in the Japanese concept of ‘omotenashi’—a philosophy of impeccable hospitality that offers an acute attention to detail and close attunement to guests' needs."

MICHELIN Guide

"This is the hotel for which a host of travel cliches—an oasis of calm, a hidden gem, a secluded treasure—were invented. An intimate place that’s meant to feel like staying at your coolest friend’s house, it’s so cozy and homey that guests sometimes make their beds upon check-out."

Austin American-Statesman

"The hotel, a new concept in luxury lodging for Austin, eschews traditional amenities like a front desk, key cards, restaurant and pool in favor of high-quality design choices and other custom features… that allow guests to reconnect with themselves and their surroundings."
