Hotel Ella: Boutique Hotel with Old-World Charm in the Heart of Austin
Hotel
Hotel
In 1897, Ella Newsome married Goodall H. Wooten. The rest, as they say, is Texas history.
In 1910, Goodall asked Ella, "Would you rather have a trip around the world, or renovations made to the house?" She chose both. Known for her refined taste, Ella hired Stanley Marcus to renovate the historic mansion we now invite you to call your home away from home, Hotel Ella.
The property has welcomed an array of guests over the last century, serving as a dormitory, sorority house, and rehabilitation center before becoming a boutique hotel.
Guests can stay in two parts of the property: the original mansion with 9 large rooms or the 1980s addition of the North Wing with 38 rooms.
