About our Company:

Life gathers around water in Texas, and Hotel Magdalena honors our spring-fed culture and the community that grows near it. The design of the 89-room hotel takes inspiration from the local lake house ethos of the 1970s, situated amongst rolling grounds and natural beauty inspired by Texas. The Magdalena is also home to Summer on Music Lane and Magdalena Bar, offering locals and visitors alike more places to hang out and experience the best of Austin, off of South Congress. Summer on Music Lane, the full-service restaurant at Hotel Magdalena, is inspired by the casual sophistication that defines a lake house weekend. The menu features honest cooking taking cues from old school hospitality but with a decidedly unpretentious, Austin sensibility. We are open to the public every day of the week on South Congress, more than a hotel restaurant! Hotel Magdalena is proud to be part of the Bunkhouse family. Bunkhouse is a hospitality company that is founded on the pillars of design, music, and authentic community-driven experiences. Bunkhouse operates and has designed, developed, and revitalized a celebrated portfolio of hospitality projects throughout the U.S., which include Hotel San José, Hotel Saint Cecilia, Austin Motel, Jo's Coffee, Equipment Room, The Carpenter Hotel and Carpenters Hall in Austin; Hotel Havana and Ocho in San Antonio; Phoenix Hotel in San Francisco, California; and Hotel San Cristóbal and Benno in Todos Santos, Mexico, and Hotel Genevieve in Louisville, Kentucky with plans for expansion and future projects throughout the U.S. and Mexico.
