They partnered with the Houston-based Studio Imli on custom (and purchasable) cotton blankets handwoven by artisans in the Cholistan Desert in Pakistan, and worked with the artist Andrea Condara on a painted mural depicting pink birds and trailing greenery that stretches to the ceiling of the hotel bar, Il Cuculo. It opened last summer after a 15-month renovation, during which the Palacios restored original plank wood floors and cedar walls. The property offers 14 rooms spread across six 19th-century bungalows, as well as three private cottages. But the married hoteliers Cinda Murphy de Palacios and Armando Palacios - who in 1980 purchased a home in Round Top that they’ve since converted to a restaurant - have changed that with Hotel Lulu. The problem for visitors was that there weren’t many places to stay in town. Then, in 1968, it began hosting a major antiques fair that’s still going strong (this year’s spring edition opens March 28). In the 1960s, Faith and Charles Lewis Bybee, a wealthy Houston couple with a conservationist streak, started transplanting historic farmhouses from other parts of the state there. The Hotel Lulu is not only convenient to Disneyland, it’s also affordably priced, and has a very kind, and helpful staff.Round Top, Texas, which sits between Austin and Houston, is something of an unexpected design destination. One of the best parts was watching the Disneyland fireworks from the room! And because it was our daughter’s birthday weekend, the hotel surprised her with balloons in the room! There is also a small restaurant/bar in the pool area that offer some small eats like a Caesar salad, pizza, and chicken fingers with tater tots.Īnd for those who want to exercise while they are there, the Hotel Lulu has a fitness center as well! My favorite were the turquoise chairs and fire pits, and they also have corn hole and ping pong! The first day we arrived, we spent our afternoon by the pool. We stayed in a standard double queen room that was on a high floor facing the parks so we could see the fireworks in the evening! It came with a refrigerator, coffee maker, and television!
They had a variety of cereal, pastries, and even quiche (which was delicious and I highly recommend!) We even got the kids a hot chocolate one morning, which made their day! We got coffee and breakfast each morning we were there before walking to the parks. In the lobby area there is also a coffee shop and a small convenience store with some snack essentials. The Hotel Lulu is decorated on the inside with beach decor and even has a big colorful mural in the lobby, which marks for a fun picture spot upon arrival!
#HOTEL LULU PLUS#
Plus having a nearby hotel allows you the option to head back to the hotel midday to take a rest so no one gets overtired after a long day of walking! There’s a new hotel in town and we were excited to check it out!! The new Hotel Lulu in Anaheim just opened in May and is just minutes from Disneyland.Įven though we live in Southern California, there is nothing like a good staycation! And when you are planning to get to the parks for rope drop or stay until the fireworks, you want a hotel that is nearby and even walking distance to the parks, especially if you have small children.
