Bunkhouse Hotels – Lifestyle Job Description

Opened in Fall 2018, Carpenter Hotel is a South Austin gem, designed to blend naturally with its lush surroundings.

Our 93-room hotel features terraces in every room, a community deck and pool, and the Q-Hut pavilion. Guests can enjoy casual bites from our all-day Coffee Bar or savor a full meal on the patio or inside Carpenters Hall, our indoor-outdoor restaurant.

Our restaurant, Carpenters Hall, serves as a community gathering space, offering counter-style daytime bites, a full-service dinner, and weekend brunch, all crafted with globally inspired flavors and a Texas twist. Named one of Bon Appétit's “Top 50 Best New Restaurants in America” and featured in Condé Nast Traveler and Texas Monthly, Carpenters Hall is proud to be a gathering place that feels honest, easy, and a little bit unexpected.
