Hotel Flora and Fauna

Hotel Flora and Fauna is a boutique hotel on River Road, set between the Wimberley Square and the river and within walking distance of both. The building dates to 1983 and was a mall of thrift stores until 2014, when it became a hotel and gained a striking mural by artist Tony Sansavero. A Bootiful Wimberley boot, part of the town's public art project of boots hand-painted by local artists, stands at the entrance.

Every room is a suite with a king bed, a kitchenette and a sleeper sofa, and the hotel welcomes kids. Suites also have a flat-screen TV and a turntable with vinyl records. Standard suites are 476 square feet and premium suites 549 square feet; both have bay windows and sleep up to four, and premium suites add Salt & Stone bath products and a private seating area.

The hotel has a pool, a hot tub and a lovely courtyard with lush landscaping. It sits in a Dark Sky community, so the stars come out bright at night. Guests also have EV charging, Wi-Fi in the rooms and courtyard, and pet-friendly suites.

Dining, spa options and activities are all within walking distance, along with the shops and galleries of the Square.
