About our Company:

Originally a 1930s ultra-modern motor court, Hotel San José was transformed into 40-room urban bungalow-style accommodations hidden behind stucco walls amidst lush garden courtyards on South Congress Avenue. Considered the quintessential Austin hotel experience, San José is more than just a place to stay. The courtyard serves as a gathering place and community hub for locals and visitors thanks to its cravable cocktails and beloved happenings, including the annual South x San Jose concert series and over-the-top Halloween party. Steps away from Jo’s Coffee, our local coffee purveyor and coveted people-watching spot, we're happy to host all who are interested in slowing down for a stay.

Hotel San José is proud to be a part of Bunkhouse, a hospitality company that believes in inspired design, connection to place and the value of community. Bunkhouse has designed and developed a celebrated portfolio of hospitality projects including Hotel San José, Hotel Saint Cecilia, Austin Motel, Hotel Magdalena, Carpenter Hotel and Jo’s Coffee in Austin, Hotel Havana and Ocho in San Antonio, El Cosmico in Marfa, Texas, The Phoenix in San Francisco, California, Hotel San Cristóbal in Baja, Mexico and Shady Villa in Salado, Texas.
