The Faust Hotel

Above a brewpub 3 blocks from the Comal River, this old-world hotel dating from 1929 is 1 mile from Schlitterbahn New Braunfels water park and a 6-minute walk from New Braunfels Civic/Convention Center. Refined, Art Deco-style rooms with period antiques offer free Wi-Fi, plus coffeemakers, microwaves and minifridges. Suites add sitting areas, and some have extra bathrooms. A ground-floor brewpub with an outdoor patio serves American cuisine and house-brewed ales. Meeting and event facilities are also available.
