The grounds of Hotel Magdalena and Hotel Saint Cecilia are steeped in history from a not-so-distant past—originally home to the 1950s and 1960s hotspot, the Terrace Motor Hotel, a premier mid-century motor lodge boasting over 300 rooms and a poolside restaurant and lounge hosting musical acts.
Today we honor our heritage with a host of events and programming that reflect our musical lineage and the easy days of lake life. From clandestine concerts to visiting chefs, our lawn aims to serve as South Congress’ backyard.
Hotel Magdalena’s 89 rooms are highlighted by the Texas sun at sunrise and sunset thanks to thoughtfully placed windows. For both comfort and visual pleasure, guests can enjoy a custom walnut built-in bed and desk, Sferra bed linens, Santa & Cole lamps, and Spanish tile in four bold colorways. The SANTAL 33 scented bath amenities from Le Labo Fragrances are crafted with notes of cardamom, iris, violet, and smoking wood.
