A Historic Hotel

The Faust Hotel is has everything that a hotel needs--an excellent location, small but comfortable rooms, and an affordable price. Usually, places like this are VERY expensive, but this one's not. Bear in mind that I stayed in April.

Unique Quality: Built in 1929, this is a Texas Historic Landmark. This is the former site of the Faust family homestead; this was one of the early pioneer German families in Texas. It even has its own microbrewery. For many years, it was a popular honeymoon hotel, especially during World War II.

More about The Faust Hotel

The Faust Hotel

by VeronicaG

Although this building is not that old, it does figure in the town's economic development.

The Faust Hotel (2405 S. Seguin St.) was built in 1929 and is in the Spanish Colonial Revival design. Once known as The Travelers Hotel, it contained 63 guest rooms and gave shelter to many during New Braunfels' heydeys.

In 1936 the hotel was renamed 'The Faust' in honor of the family on whose former homestead it sits. This building has known continuous service as a hotel from the time it was constructed.

It was completely renovated in the 1980's and in order to accommodate a lounge a new courtyard was added. A microbrewery was installed in 1998. The Faust Hotel features antique furniture and period grand piano, a mirrored elevator and touches of the 1930's throughout.

For more information call: 877-784-6835.

The Faust Hotel

by Djinn76

First known as the Travelers Hotel, this inn was completed in 1929 and renamed "The Faust" in 1936.
It is an example of Spanish Colonial Revival design. I was not really impressed by the building itself except for the ornate terra cotta decorative work.

During the 1940s, the Faust is said to have been a favored spot among servicemen stationed in San Antonio and became informally known as the "Honeymoon Hotel."
