Our favourite rooms
Each of Hotel Herringbone’s rooms have enough bold-hued maximalism to satisfy your inner glamorpuss, but for a bigger dose of pomp, the King Suite with bath tub and patio is our numero uno — not just for its standout column-flanked, in-room tub, but for its private outdoor space.
Spa
There’s no spa onsite, but Hotel Herringbone’s partnership with the Skin & Body Refinery gives you special discounts on certain services from this full-service spa, around half an hour’s stroll (or five-minute drive) from the hotel.
Packing tips
Pack light: with all the local boutiques on offer you’ll need some space for the inevitable holiday swag. Do pack your most eye-catching sun hat to combat the Texan rays.
Also
You can rent the Moke, the hotel’s own electric buggy, to explore the surrounding area in — just make sure you’re back for the nightly ‘wine hour’ at Song Bird, with free tastings.
Children
Little Smiths are welcome at Hotel Herringbone, and some rooms sleep up to four, but there’s no crèche or babysitting service. There’s a kids' play area in the grounds, with climbing frames and games on a turfed area.
Sustainability efforts
Hotel Herringbone participates in a tree-planting initiative as part of its carbon offsetting commitment, and renewable and sustainable products and resources are used here as much as possible. The hotel was built using energy-efficient design principles, and a large part of it is made from recycled shipping containers. Rooms are LED-lit, cooled and heated by Smart thermostats and stocked with water in reusable glass bottles, plus eco-friendly bath products from Grown Alchemist. Guests receive a reusable water bottle to use when they’re out enjoying the Texas sunshine and to take home with them as a souvenir.
