This Charming Town in Texas Wine Country Is Home to One of the Area's First Luxury Hotels

"Albert Hotel, which opened earlier this year, honors Albert Keidel, an architect, collector, and prominent local figure. Keidel's family was among the first in Fredericksburg, helping create the town that so many Texans today love. However, Keidel was also an avid traveler, collecting inspiration from places around the globe and then incorporating it into local buildings.

The team refurbished historic buildings, including the Keidel family pharmacy and one of Fredericksburg's first bars. While the exteriors still mirror the charm of days past, the decor has received major upgrades. In the guest rooms, custom built-ins, luxurious textiles, expansive tiled showers, and soaking tubs deliver an elevated setting for a Hill"
