If we were heading to SXSW this week, this Austin hotel would be high on our list for lodging…

Named after the patron saint of music and poetry (so appropriate), Hotel Saint Cecilia has it all. Southern charm, simple cozy rooms that make you feel right at home, and (most importantly) a nice lap pool to beat the Texas heat.

The hotel includes 5 suites, 6 poolside bungalows, and three studios, each with their own unique style, a minibar stocked with local goodies, and (of course) its own sound system – turntable and ipod dock included.

This place had us at howdy. See ya’ll by the pool!
