“MOST AMAZING HOTEL”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 14, 2013

I can't say enough about this hotel. It is incredibly special and unlike any hotel I've ever stayed at. If you're looking for lots of amenities and hands-on service, this may not be your place but if you prefer privacy and beautiful surroundings, this place can't be beat. Everything about this place is incredibly high quality and the location is perfect. It's tucked away on a side street behind South Congress so it's quiet and peaceful but you're close to the main drag. We literally felt like we were home while we stayed there. There's beautiful shared spaces and the kitchen is open all night and has the basics: coffee, tea, granola, milk, fruit. The pictures on their website are incredibly accurate. Really really, you must stay here if you are going to Austin.

Room Tip: They're all great!

“Unlike anything I've ever seen.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 12, 2013

Nestled into a hill behind the legendary Continental Club, The Kimber sculpts modern architecture into the natural landscape, built around two oak trees. It's sort of unfair how perfect it is that they're in this particular part of South Austin, so close to so many classic spots and just far enough from the insanity of downtown.

While I've visited friends staying at the Kimber several times over the years, I just stayed at it myself for the first time. I had known the space and location were obvious winners, but I hadn't realized until now was how those were only two ingredients in the recipe. The service was unendingly great-- from the very warm and personal welcome at check-in to the constant but very discrete daily cleaning and tidying, to the gorgeous food and drink being put out all day.

The worst part was leaving the place. Next time I go, I'd like to camp out there and let the rest of the world fall away.

Room Tip: Red and White are the suites, and are amazing. The rest are pretty similar to one another, no losers...

Incredible experience, beautiful property, genuine and considerate staff and owners. When it comes to Austin hospitality, everything about the Kimber is second to none. Cannot possibly recommend highly enough.

“It couldn't have been better in Austin”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 10, 2013

What's missing in my hometown ? Kimber Modern for sure. I spent a wonderful journey with my friends there and will never forget it. I loved the common room, I loved the patio. I loved the calm, the squirrels. In here, you get to know your friends better. Nothing can be better than this.

“My absolute favorite”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 8, 2013

I just returned from my 3rd annual stay at the Kimber Modern and as usual, am already dreaming of going back.

The space is an oasis, the staff are wonderful. Every time I bring new friends to join us as guests, they're blown away by the experience.

The Kimber Modern isn't just a hotel or B&B. It's a treat for all of your senses.

So great to get another review from your group. I was just thinking yesterday how fortunate the Kimber Modern is to draw creatives from all over the world who are not only talented but good people! As you know, another group arrived right after your departure and our good luck continues. Thanks so much for the review and please pick us again for next year! Carrie
