Opened in 2021, Soho House Austin is a place for the city’s creative community to come together. Set on South Congress Avenue, the House is located in one of the city’s liveliest neighbourhoods, full of places to eat, shop and explore – all just a stone’s throw from Lady Bird Lake.
So, where better to wake up than the House? Mornings at the club are a special time, as members enjoy a coffee on the sun-drenched terrace, take a relaxing yoga class or catch up on some work.
Waking up in the House
Each of Soho House Austin’s 46 bedrooms features Texan and modern Spanish-inspired interiors with a room service menu designed to be enjoyed from bed. Room 201 is one of the House’s most popular, thanks to a large copper bath and spacious outdoor terrace – but each bright and airy bedroom offers a slow start to the day.
Morning swims
With a view overlooking the city’s skyline, the pool is the perfect spot for a morning swim. Afterwards, members can soak up the Texas sunshine or unwind in the shade of the House’s cabanas. In the afternoon and evenings, pool parties are a regular occurrence at the club – but in the mornings, the space is a peaceful one.
Coffee on the terrace
The House’s wraparound terrace is a popular spot for a quiet morning coffee, with its mix of sunshine and shade, and comfortable chairs. Laptops are allowed in the space, and with its views of Austin, it’s an inviting area to enjoy breakfast outside.
Wellness programming
There are plenty of wellness-focused classes held daily within the House, typically in the Music Room. Members can choose from programming that includes yoga, Pilates, HIIT and strength training – along with special pop-up events like healing sound baths. There’s also a regular Run Club and Cycle Club, offering guests the chance to explore the city and socialise with other members. For a post-workout pick-me-up, smoothies are served in the club.
Working from the House
The House offers many quiet spots for working members, who might take meetings over breakfast on the terrace or set up with their laptops in the main club space. The pre-screening bar can be used as an area to take calls, while the House menu offers a range of House Regulars and Tex Mex-inspired specialities for a well-deserved break come lunchtime.
