pool side, please.

the outdoor pool deck and fire-lit patio are our warm-weather hub — a daily amenity for guests, and an event-ready backyard for receptions, birthdays, and after-work mixers. make the most of texas weather.

two ways to backyard

one space, two purposes.

by day, it's where the kids cannonball and the laptops stay inside. by night, it's a cafe-lit patio that books out for private events. both, all season.

for our guests

splash, sun, and a corgi-approved lounge chair.

the pool is open every day in season — bring the family, bring a paperback, bring the dog (we're an arf-program hotel, so leashed pups are welcome on the deck). towels, lounge seating, and shaded spots all included.

the backyard patio at twilight — modular sofas, teal acapulco chairs, orange panton chairs around a fire feature, with cafe string lights overhead and a giant chess board in the foreground

for your event

a backyard built for receptions, mixers, and parties.

buy the patio out for the night or carve off a semi-private section. café lights, fire pit, giant outdoor chess, and the w xyz lounge a few steps away for spillover and indoor fallback. ideal for wedding welcome receptions, sales kick-off socials, and milestone birthdays.

out & about

the season

in season year-round.

the outdoor pool runs seasonally — typically late march through october — with daily hours from 8am to 10pm at peak. the water is unheated, which is exactly right for august and a polite reminder in april. seasonal — see property for current hours.

the patio side of the backyard is a different story. café lights, the fire feature, and outdoor heaters keep the lounge seating, giant chess, and event footprint alive into the cool months — well past when most hotel pool decks are tarped over for the winter.
