Hotel Ella, Austin, Texas

Historic with an Artistic Twist

By Lynn Walker

Get Acquainted

Hotel Ella sits on land that was purchased in 1878 by Thomas Dudley Wooten, one of the founders of the University of Texas. When his son Goodall Wooten, married Ella Newsome, her father built them the home on that land as a wedding gift. Ella had an artistic sense of style, so she later renovated the home, adding the Greek Columns and retaining Neiman Marcus to decorate. In 2013 the home underwent another extensive renovation blending the old and new, creating this eclectic destination wedding location.

Here’s the Scoop

Although you will find that hip vibe and music scene, you will also find Austin is steeped in history and southern traditions, especially desirable for those Boomer Mothers assisting in planning the wedding. I guess you could say that in Austin, you can “have your cake and eat it too.”
