The 7 Best Hotels with In-Room Jacuzzi in Texas

For a quaint, romantic stay in the lush Hill Country, Blisswood Bed and Breakfast is the picture-perfect destination. The pace is leisurely and the country scenery is quiet and pristine at this Cat Spring ranch (about an hour west of Houston), where you can choose between one of 12 cottages and cabins dotted around the wooded property. It’s a tranquil, natural oasis that feels miles away from the hustle and bustle of urban life.

Tucked among groves of centuries-old live oaks, several of the vintage-style houses have private jetted tubs for guests to enjoy, along with spacious front and back porches, fully stocked kitchens, a hand-delivered, homemade breakfast every morning, and plenty of other modern amenities to make your stay as comfy and relaxing as possible.

An architecturally stunning 1920s neo-Gothic landmark in downtown Dallas, The Joule is easily the hottest hotel in the city. Its location is unbeatable —running adjacent to the Arts District and the flagship Neiman Marcus store, but it’s the Joule’s unique blend of artsy, old-world grandeur, and contemporary charm that set it apart from the crowd.

That, and the killer, one-of-a-kind amenities, that is — the hotel has a subterranean spa (featuring a glass-walled sauna and crystal steam room), a $20-million-plus art collection, a library curated by TASCHEN, a modern cantilevered pool that juts out over the street below, and some of the best spots in town to eat, shop, and drink: CBD Provisions, Midnight Rambler, Weekend, and more.

And as one might expect from a hotel of the Joule’s caliber, the rooms here are sumptuous and thoughtfully designed, with original artwork, cozy Frette linens, and contemporary furniture, and the suites feature giant, deep soaking tubs, for blissing out in your room.

Lavish to the nth degree, Lake Austin Spa Resort is a longtime favorite among the well-to-do wellness crowd in Austin. Sprawling across nearly 20 acres, this peaceful lakefront property boasts a picturesque setting and impeccably decorated rooms — think silk-trimmed canopies, freshly cut flowers, luxurious California king beds, and outdoor patios with lovely views of the lake.

For a royal-worthy treat, be sure to book the Premium Hot Tub Cottage, which comes equipped with its own private outdoor hot tub, along with a meditation garden and other plush amenities.

At the on-site Lakehouse Spa, guests can choose from over 100 luxe spa treatments and services, including massage therapy, a soothing scalp massage, vegan facials, organic nail therapy, and acupuncture. Plus, take your pick from one of over 20 activities that are offered daily by the resort, including yoga, cooking, and fitness classes, and of course, waterfront activities like stand-up paddle-boarding, canoeing, and kayaking.

Named after legendary guitarist Townes Van Zandt, the Hotel Van Zandt is (appropriately) decorated to the hilt with music-centric décor and vibrant artwork. Located at the edge of Rainey Street in downtown Austin, this ultra-modern hotel attracts nightlife-loving travelers with an appreciation for Austin’s musical roots and the finer things in life.

The Van Zandt has over 300 guest rooms, each of which has stellar views of either the glittering skyline, Lady Bird Lake, or the sleek, lively courtyard pool. They’re each decorated with dark wood paneling, brushed bronze accents, crisp white linens, and charcoal-and-navy furniture, displaying the trademark sophistication of a Kimpton hotel.

For ultimate relaxation, book one of the spa suites, each of which boasts an oversized bathroom and deep soaking tub. Other boutique on-site amenities include pet-friendly accommodations, a complimentary nightly wine hour, a yoga mat, Atelier Bloem bath products, and live music at Geraldine’s, the in-house restaurant and bar.

Offering world-class spa treatments right on San Antonio’s River Walk, just a minute’s walk from the Alamo, the Mokara Hotel & Spa oozes distinctive Texan charm and more than a dash of luxury. Housed in the shell of the historic Frank Saddlery Building, the Mokara is most well-known for its incredible spa treatments; we’re talking Thai massages, caviar facials, seaweed wraps, and a delightful lemongrass mimosa body scrub, among many other sought-after treatments. Yes, please.

The rooms at Mokara are every bit as glammed-up as you might imagine, with gleaming hardwood floors, wrought-iron canopy beds, 12-foot ceilings, and gorgeous arched windows. Most guest rooms have deep soaking tubs, but if you want to kick things up a notch, the Spa Room with Private Balcony features an oversized jetted tub for two. Although you may be tempted to stay inside your room for hours on end (who wouldn’t, given the accommodations here?), take some time to explore the enchanting River Walk right outside your front door.

Occupying Houston’s historic, neo-classical 1911 Union National Bank, Hotel Icon is, well, a bit of an icon. This classic, beloved hotel is just a quick jaunt from many of the city’s most popular attractions, including Minute Maid Park, the George R. Brown Convention Center, the Revention Music Center, and more. Dramatic period touches abound throughout the property, in the form of stately, 30-foot-tall columns, jewel-toned brocade, and velvet chairs and settees.

Each of the 135 guest rooms and 18 suites here showcases the kind of rich interior design details that feel as if they belong to another era — heavily-patterned fabrics, overstuffed furniture, grand custom furnishings, and marble bathrooms, along with swanky contemporary amenities, most notably in the form of private jacuzzis (available in select suites).

Nestled right on the beach on South Padre Island, adorable La Copa Inn Beach Hotel has everything you need for a serene stay at the ocean. You won’t have to stray far from your beachside perch, thanks to the on-site restaurant and tequila bar, fitness center, business center, and an in-house café serving Starbucks coffee.

The daily breakfast buffet is a full spread, with made-to-order omelets and a taco station, so you’ll be nice and fortified for frolicking in the waves. And, crucially, the rooms are cozily furnished and decked out with private whirlpools, so you can relax and rejuvenate at the end of the day.
