"The Zilker hotel is running a cafe pop-up/guest residency with Charleston bakery Annie Mae's that began at the start of the month and will run through the end of November, featuring on-deck baked goods such as banana caramel sticky buns, Earl Grey biscotti, and jasmine tea shortbread cookies, along with teas." - Nadia Chaudhury
"The Loutrel splashed onto Charleston’s hotel scene with palpably new construction and a prime location, just south of City Market. The boutique 50-room property looks and feels stylishly contemporary, and it consistently aims to bring the outside in: Calamondin-orange topiaries flank the lobby, delicate cherry-blossom branches spike the floral arrangements seasonally, and living orchids accent every room. Rooms are crisp, minimal, and spacious, with floor-to-ceiling windows and double-paneled privacy sheers. The Loutrel’s “wow” factor is its rooftop terrace, cresting the mature tree line of Charleston’s historic French Quarter. Early risers take morning coffee up here to watch the sun illuminate a sliver of harbor, returning hours later to enjoy an evening cocktail." - CNT Editors
"A 50-room property inspired by public and private gardens that offers modern, elegant rooms with high-end touches—Matouk bedding, Deep Steep bath products, Dyson hairdryers, and complimentary minibars stocked with local snacks. Public spaces evoke a Southern porch with a swing and abundant greenery alongside regional artwork, while the Veranda Lounge is a large, wood-and-bronze-accented bar. Guests can enjoy a rooftop terrace with sweeping views and an exclusive Clubroom stocked with curated books, games, and locally sourced drinks and bites." - Devorah Lev-Tov
