Nestled in the Uptown Cultural District in a downtown historic neighborhood of Austin, TX on Judge's Hill lays a uniquely vintage boutique hotel and event venue that provides affordable luxury accommodations for relaxing getaways. The Pearl is a whimsical, romantic oasis for weddings, special events, and celebrations!
With all the charm and privacy of the greatest Hill Country bed and breakfast and the convenience of a downtown location, The Pearl is surrounded by the culture of Austin. The Inn is adjacent to the University of Texas, the Blanton Art Museum, Texas State History Museum and the IMAX Movie Theater, many ethnic restaurants, pubs, and eateries. An arm's throw to the Ransom Center, the Texas State Capitol, 2nd Street, the Warehouse Business/Shopping District, infamous 6th Street, and world famous music venues, we are proud to be smack dab in the middle of the live music capital of the world, Austin, Texas!

I can not express how much I love this little in. They were so accommodating with arriving walker than expected. The owner and her helper Jessica were so wonderful! They care about the guests that are staying with them. We stayed in the Oxford room which was so comfortable and nice, we felt right at home. The bed was super comfortable and we were so happy to sleep there on the noghts we stayed. We also had our own private deck and bathroom with was wonderful in itself. I know when we go back to Austin we will be staying here again. It is very covenetly located near downtown and Judges Hill.
I can not stop recommending it to everyone who asks about out trip. « less

Thanks for a lovely , warm and hospitable place to stay in Austin. Very conveniently located and easy to find. The decor is exquisite and well planned. The lobby and common areas have a warm feeling with decorations well selected. The art thorughout the spacious lobby and large rooms is romantic and make you feel at home. the owner personally greeted me and handed me a glass of wine upon my arrival before guiding me throught the lobby and different amenities. Parking is sufficient and service is superior. I highly recomend this place to others. « less

This is a lovely place, but we were not as comfortable as we expected due to several factors. No Internet access for iPad after first evening, very inconvenient to have to go elsewhere to get on line. Breakfast room was unpleasantly cold first morning. Breakfast itself no better than a budget motel cold breakfast, and last morning it apparently hadn't been replenished, as there was no juice, and what little milk there was left had gone sour. No one around to deal with this, and no way to get in touch with management. They give you a telephone number to call, but there is no phone there, so you need to have a cell phone if you need anything. We didn't have a phone, and neither did the other international couple staying when we were there, so no milk or juice with breakfast. Also, if you like your room fully darkened when sleeping, don't choose the Far East room. Has transoms over windows and interior door with no curtains. Don't know if other rooms are like this, but check if this is important to you. « less

Management response from Jill Bickford, Owner
We are sorry you were disappointed in your stay. It seems the issues you had would have been easily remedied with proper communication.
Even though most of our guests including our international ones, carry cell phones, a landline phone is available for guest use in both houses. We would have been happy to show you where the phone was since you did not see it, if you had let us know and we are sorry that this did not happen. We are a small self service boutique hotel and do not sit at our front desk 24/7, however, a staff member is on the property at all times, however it is not always possible to be at the same place as our guests all the time. Notes placed on our front desk are always a good form of communication, since we check regularly our desk, voice messages and emails.
We have blinds on most of our windows but in 100 year old houses windows are more divided and sometimes difficult or unattractive to cover, but we will try to get windows covered where possible. The Wi-Fi was an issue with AT & T equipment upgrades and that was resolved immediately. The temperatures in Austin as most "Austinites" are privy to experience, have extreme changes during certain times of the year and it is sometimes difficult to keep up with at times. A beautiful 70 degree day can turn into a cold 40 degree morning and that is why we have several AC/Heating systems throughout the Inn for our guests comfort. Apparently you were in the breakfast room early one morning and the system had not yet kicked in. We are sorry that it was not warm enough for you and that one morning the complimentary breakfast was not up to your expected standards. We will try to check with guests breakfast hours and food interests more often.
Life cannot be always perfect, but we will continue to try to do our best to make it such. We hope you will give us a second chance and come back to stay with us again sometime soon.
