Fredricksburg is an authentic Texas-German community, just an hour’s drive northwest of San Antonio and 70 miles west of Austin, is renowned for its upscale sophistication, dramatic landscape, profusion of wildflowers, burgeoning wine industry, Hill Country cuisine and authentic Main Street with unique shops and friendly atmosphere.

The Hangar Hotel was uniquely designed with the distinct exterior appearance of a WWII hangar circa the 1940s.  Inside this classic style, 50 room boutique hotel you’ll find fine woods, granite, and unique furnishings, all with a level of detail beyond comparison. Relax amidst the aviation-themed backdrop steeped in the excitement of a bygone era. The Officers’ Club offers a space for guests to relax and visit, the room is complete with fireplace, grand piano, pool table, full bar and unique leather lounge chairs. The Hotel, located adjacent to the Gillespie County Airport’s runway ramp area, provides excellent viewing of those spectacular flying machines. Also located next to the Hotel are the Airport Diner and Conference Center, both are in keeping with the 1940s theme. (www.hangarhotel.com)
