A new boutique hotel and restaurant will open later this month in the Mueller neighborhood, the former home of Austin’s municipal airport.
Origin Hotel, part of the Wyndham Hotel company, also operates hotels in Lexington, Kentucky, as well as Red Rocks and Westminster, Colorado. The Mueller location marks the company’s first property in Texas, and features what company officials call “Lone Star spunk.”
Customers at an eatery inside the hotel called Blue Lacy can perch on turquoise stools at a diner-style bar or slide into upscale booths. The menu includes fancy-looking fried chicken and burgers, plus cocktails.
The hotel and restaurant are pet friendly. A press release describes the guest rooms as urban-chic and notes the property’s state-of-the-art fitness equipment and onsite gym.
The Origin Hotel Austin is located at 1825 McBee Street, within walking distance of Mueller Lake Park, Dell Children’s Medical Center, and restaurants including L’Oca D’Oro, Collen’s Kitchen and Kerbey Lane Café.
