The Albert Hotel in Fredericksburg offers more than a place to stay—it’s a thoughtfully designed destination that blends history, hospitality, and local culture. The expansive Hill Country retreat features 105 guest rooms, all-day dining, a full-service spa, and versatile event spaces.

“This project represents our vision of hospitality,” said Bart Knaggs, CEO of New Waterloo. “The Albert Hotel is more than a property; it’s our love letter to Fredericksburg, which embodies years of meticulous planning and a profound respect for local history.”

Dining at the Albert Hotel is made up of four distinct experiences, each showcasing the best ingredients from local farmers, ranchers, and artisans. Michelin-starred Chef Michael Fojtasek leads The Restaurant, offering seasonal breakfast, lunch, and dinner cuisine. The Saloon provides a relaxed gathering spot for whiskey and beer, while The Pharmacy serves coffee, espresso, pastries, and scratch-made sandwiches. Junebugs BBQ, opening this spring, will add another delicious component to the culinary offerings.

Guest rooms range from cozy bunk rooms to luxurious suites, including the Albertina House, a four-bedroom historic residence ideal for group stays. Thoughtful design details include rich green palettes, custom textiles, expansive showers, and bespoke robes from Houston brand, Mirth.

The Spa at Albert Hotel invites guests to explore wellness through Texas-inspired treatments. With seven private treatment rooms, the spa offers signature experiences like the Albert Signature Massage and Enchanted Rock treatment.

The hotel features 3,600 square feet of flexible space for events, including a mezzanine, outdoor lawn, and private dining rooms. From intimate gatherings to grand celebrations, every detail is managed by an expert team of hospitality professionals. alberthotel.com
