Hotel Havana, little slice of heaven.

Hotel Havana, San Antonio, TX

I took a quick trip down to San Antonio on Sunday night to stay at Liz Lambert's newest hotel, Hotel Havana. What a wonderful place! I felt like I was stepping into a foreign country and almost forgot that I was in San Antonio. Her attention to minute detail is what sets her hotels apart from others. Every room is different, and every room is very cool. This hotel has red jar candles lit all over the place, with minimal decorations, yet very warm details, and many pops of colors with a latin flair. Every room is cozy and fun. If you haven't seen her other 2 hotels in Austin, Hotel San Jose and the Hotel Saint Cecilia, then you MUST go. San Jose has a great outdoor bar area that is by their pool and is perfect for a summer evening. And well, Natalie Portman stayed at the Saint Cecilia. Enough said. And let's not forget about her project El Cosmico in Marfa, TX. According to their website El Cosmico is "part vintage trailer, yurt, and teepee hotel and campground, part creative lab, greenhouse and amphitheatre—a community space that fosters and agitates artistic and intellectual exchange." Can we see amazing!? Dying to go see! So go check out her funky little hotels. Such great creative spots— you won't be disappointed. Keep it up Liz, keep it up!
